I've been searching on Wikipedia the word "Gamer" and it showed the type of video gamers. I'm obviously a hardcore gamer and a retro, i devote my time mastering Wii games such as Super smash bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii everytime and i play retro games almost everytime. So here are the type of video gamers (Quote from Wikipedia):

Casual gamer: The casual gamer is a person who plays games designed for ease of game play (such as Tetris) and doesn't spend much time playing more involved games. The genres that casual gamers play vary, and they might not own a specific video game console to play their games. See Casual game.

Hardcore gamer: The hardcore gamer plays more often than the casual gamer and tends to play more difficult games. They are also usually marked by participation in gaming culture. They tend to play games that require larger amounts of time to complete or master. There are many subtypes of hardcore gamers based on the style of game, gameplay preference, hardware platform, and other preferences.

Retro gamer: A gamer who enjoys playing or collecting vintage video games from earlier eras. Retro-gamers are partly responsible for the popularity of console emulation. Some collect old video games and prototypes, or are in the business of refurbishing old games, particularly arcade cabinets. Some even make their own arcade cabinets (see MAME arcade). A notable retro-gamer is James Rolfe.

Import gamer: A gamer who enjoys playing or collecting video games produced internationally. The most common imports are from Japan, although some European and Japanese gamers purchase games from North America. Depending on the gaming platform involved, these gamers may use devices such as modchips, boot disks, and/or Gamesharks to bypass regional lockout protection on the software, though some prefer to purchase imported consoles. A number of these gamers import games that fall into genres generally not released outside of Japan, such as dating sims or anime/manga-based licensed games.

Pro gamer: A Professional gamer plays video games for money.[4] (The term electronic sports is used to describe the play of video games as a professional sport.) Whether a professional gamer is a subtype of the hardcore gamer largely depends on the degree to which a professional gamer is financially dependent upon the income derived from gaming. So far as a professional gamer is financially dependent upon gaming, the time spent playing is no longer "leisure" time. In countries of Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan, professional gamers are sponsored by large companies and can earn more than $100,000USD a year, in addition to the cult following that some obtain.

Newbie: This is gamer slang for a player who is new or inexperienced. Two derived terms are "newb", a beginner who is willing to learn; and "noob", a derogatory name.[6] The latter term was considered as the one-millionth English word by the Global Language Monitor.<p>%u2248%u2248%u2248</p>
