Casual ... play occasionally, mostly once the snow flies. Haven't played games for more than a couple of hours since May. Too much golfing :D Soon, however, I'll be getting back into it when the sun disappears for a few months. :(

Sociable since I started giving up gaming earlier this year. Now when Elder Scrolls Oblivion comes out that will be a different story ;)

I guess I'm Moderate with some traits of the Sociable gamer. I like having friends and play MMOs in addition to FPS games and 'normal' RPGs (so long as the story is good and it's not some crappy hack-and-slash), but I like doing many other things too :)

I dunno. I play one game, WoW. I play for around 3 hours a night, after I chore up my house and read a little. After that I spend time with fiance till we go to bed. I'm voting moderate, but I like i'm more social.

Casual to Sociable.

I have left during the middle of a game. Spend a lot of time on line, playing on a specific server. Many good friends of mine are gamers. This particular server, we have a great time, and are all good friends.

Definitely both.

Five years ago I would've voted hardcore. A couple of years ago I would've defenitely been addicted. Now I'm more moderate than anything, mainly because most new games suck. And all casual gamers can go DIAF.

easily casual. i only play one video game, unreal tournament (1999 ut) and only play when i really have nothing else better to do. in my opinion, im quite good for an almost-extinct game. but luckily there are still some die hard players who still have server's and set up frequent pick up games where i can showcase my abilities.

edit: and if ut died completly, id easily be over it. probably just uninstall and probably never play a computer video game ever again.

I try to game, but I have the attention span of a hyper over sugared 7 year old. So I guess I'm a 'Casual'.

Pretty hardcore lately... but I'll probably simmer down to moderate in the next month or so.
