Even though I'm a dad of two now, and have substantially less time to game than I did back in my college days, I would still probably put myself in the "hardcore" crowd. I don't have an insane "kill streak" in any online FPS, nor can I proudly tout that I'm at the top of any leaderboards, but I would say that gaming still flows strong in my blood. I'm not so detached that all I play are random Wii games at parties. No entertainment media pleases me more than a couple hours in front of the Xbox with a good story driven game.
