The Hardest Of Core

Me and my friend Brent are trying to get the last trophy on Uncharted, Well last 2 if you count the plat.). We are going to be so hardcore about this, that we aren't going to eat a single bite until we F-up Crushing Mode. I mean, we are seriously going to mess this game up. Here comes my Level 4 "man-meat". Lol. You guys ever do anything that separates the casual from the Hardcore?

Most recent one:
I told people I was on vacation and couldn't come to a meeting, just so nobody would disturb me while I played MGS4. Didn't do anything but play the game for 12 hours straight.

A while back:
Me and a friend were playing Mario Tennis on the N64, Doubles, we had our characters (not maxed out), against Mario and Boo on the hardest difficulty, maximum game length (forgot which court). We played and talked about every day stuff, like we used to, when we both looked at each other, just like you do when you talk with someone. Only that we didn't look at each other for a moment during the replay or something, we had talked like that the entire match, without even turning our heads to the screen. We won the entire match without our enemies getting a single point, just seeing the screen in the corner of an eye.

And another one:
A friend of mine recommended Kingdom Hearts, so I started playing during my final exams. I loved it and played pretty much every day for several hours to get my brain free. I played so much that I forgot to prepare my presentation (one part of the exams). I had to do it in the night before (cutting music, doing the hand-outs, preparing three sites of pics, writing my notes). In the end I just said "F'ck it, I go to sleep" somewhere around 2 a.m. (I "remembered" my presentation at about twelve) and being awake for something like 30 hours.
Got an A-.

Would you consider any of that hardcore?

EDIT: Also, since I play English (me being German) video games since I'm 3 or something, I always had A's in English, without doing sh't but playing. Every time we were introduced to new vocabulary, I was like "Yeah, I know that stuff, can we do something else?".
Try to explain your teacher you know a language from videogames. They thought I was crazy or something.

I usually space out while playing rock band, and when I come to the songs over and I have like 97 on expert or something crazy lol. I think that's called "flow".

I don't quiet get who it's directed at. General player? Sure, I can believe them not knowing some of the less popular final fantasy games. But final fantasy FANS? There is nothing forgotten about these games.
