I go on gaming binges when i'm on holidays from studying how to make and design video games :\ So i would classify myself as somewhere between a binge gamer and a regular gamer. Mostly becasue even though i don't play as much as i wish i could, i know as much, if not more, about them and their development

I don't get what kind of question was this man. Playing regularly equals "gamer" . I don't believe a gamer is classified about how much he/she plays, but how much they actually care about the games they are playing(whether it's sinking into the story or just being really connected to a certain aspect of the game). I think any "gamer" likes whatever genre they like whether they find themselves playing it a lot or not. A casual gamer I see as someone who plays a game only to fit into a crowd or who treats it as just something to past the time. I myself am a very hardcore gamer in the fighter genre, I don't get to play them much now a days but I freakin love it everytime I get the opportunity :)

Honestly, yeah... but I consider there to be level's of Gamerhood XD
Which is affected by the amount of time spent playing games, amount of different games, and the type of games.

What negative stigma? If you're cool then you're cool, gamer or not. Same if you're a douchebag.

There are fewer things wrong with being a nerd and a virgin than there are with people like you who have yet to learn their basic grammar.

I'm a gamer, and I'm pretty damn hardworking. I'm pulling straight A's in school and have been accepted to two of the best art colleges in the country.

Being a nerd is awesome, and being a virgin is pretty cool, too.
