Is there such a thing as a casual gamer! You either play or you don’t

Do you play on the Xbox 360, PS3, DS, Wii or just about any gaming device? Many people I have spoke to have answered my question which was “What sort of gamer are you? And to my shock many of them said they were “Casual Gamers”, I just cannot believe that for one minute.

I believe you are a gamer or you are not it is as simple as that, have you ever played a game thinking you was on there for say a couple of hours then looked at the clock and realised you was on there for say like 10 hours because I know I have. I have never known anyone in my time to go on a gaming console and spend just 20 minutes on it, no chance that just don’t happen. Even people like my father who hates games and says it is all childish went on the Nintendo Wii for the first time and was on it for a couple of hours, to me that makes him a gamer.

For some reason the word casual means easy but if you play well surely that does not mean casual but a good gamer, I am just trying to get to the bottom of “The Casual Gamer”. You can call yourself a good gamer, a brilliant gamer, a poor gamer, and expert gamer but come on casual gamer where does that come from.

So please tell me “Is there such thing as a casual gamer?
