you make a caffine concoction(sp?) and stay up playing games for 2 days.
Ha! Reminds me of my good good concoction, the Atomic Lana
mix: Bawls, Amp, Mt. Dew, 180, Sobe Adrenaline (holy crap I can't even remember them all, but there were 12 different kinds in the end) REd Bull, Blue Ox
It tasted like Tangerines in the end, and some of my more lightweight friends started shaking after drinking it. (I myslf have caffeine running through my veins, although it fscks with my anemia)
And all the things I've done for gaming...hrm, so much. Like two years ago on an FFX run, sick with flu, vomit bucket next to me, fighting on in game. (first night I got my ps2 as well, sick as fsck.)
Staying up literally 3 days in a row playing Vigilante 8, until you finally fall asleep with controller in hand in a little pile on the floor.
Also, you know you're hardcore when you literally spend an entire day "stocking up" on items needed, including a *very* close bathroom area, caffeine, foods (instant cheesecake, woo!), chips, beef jerky, a runner (person to get more food for you for when/if you run out), blankets (for warmth), victory dance area (for when you beat that damned game!), drawing pads (for when taking turns/games and you feel like drawing)
And once, I literally played Banzo Two-ee (or whatever its called) till I literally passed out.
(edit)
You know you're hardcore when "quality time" with your boyfriend is sitting on his lap while you both play (insert title here) game for (insert inanely long ammount of time here) hours.
