11 signs you're no longer a hard-core gamer
You used to play videogames all night. Your Quake prowess was unmatched; your skills at Command & Conquer unparalleled. You have a gaming history that stretches back beyond the PlayStation generation to the SNES, Megadrive, Amiga and ZX Spectrum. You were there at the dawn of gaming.

some are true, namely this one:

It's been days, not hours since you last switched on your console

Because things keep getting in the way: TV, movies, books, going out to restaurants, shopping, going down the pub, DIY, dinner parties, the gym, more DIY, your girlfriend/wife/boyfriend [delete as applicable]… oh, and having a job

Ah, lighten up Judas, it's a freakin' joke.

I actually find I resemble most of what's on that list, which means I'll need to be put down soon.

and yes, I only play when my wife is out, or asleep...

I agree with Judas.

Some of the points are fine, but the rest..meh.

Ah yes, so true...

My gaming history stretches back to Zork I - dam that dam, and thank god for that sandwich!

I was definitely tournament fodder at the Lan two weekends ago - guess I'm all washed up - but it's ok... (another sure sign...)

Yay, someone else who has played that horrible game.

How was I supposed to know you need like 3 different parts for a lantern or you get eaten?

You Know that you're washed up and your hard-core gaming days are will and truly behind you when you go to a LAN and the 12 year old kid next to you Frags the hell out of you in all the FPS games with his slow ass PC.

The point about the Wii is backward, actually. As someone who's no longer a hardcore gamer, I must say that the Wii, with its casual games and intuitive control system really appeals to me.
