You ought to change 8-11 so that there are more options. I think that there are both male and female gamers who can be considered "hardcore" or "casual". I see myself as being more in-between.

I am expecting they will be pretty much the same, but that's okay, I just need enough people to show conclusive results. There also could be a few who think differently and that's okay too, to show that the norm is one thing and few people say differently.

You ought to change 8-11 so that there are more options. I think that there are both male and female gamers who can be considered "hardcore" or "casual". I see myself as being more in-between.

Thanks for the suggestion! I am talking in general, but you do bring up a good point. I used the two categories pretty much everyone is familiar with, but I do agree that there needs to be one in the middle. That is one of the things I'm going to discuss in my research paper. That gaming classifications need to change to more accurately represent the gamers.

I said yes to the last questions only because I know people of both gender who are both casual and hardcore gamers.
I'm of the opinion that hardcore and casual should be based on the amount of time playing rather than types of games played.

I think everyone here plays videogames though so it is kind of biased towards gamer opinions.
