The concept of saying that we're the hardcore fans because we've been waiting through the darkness can apply to any other period of darkness since ODST was teased. The only different thing about this period is that we literally have no idea what the new IP will be. I won't consider anyone a hardcore fan if the only darkness they've had to endure was this one. Let me know when they've sat through the post-Halo 3 era, the ODST darkness, the Reach darkness, and this darkness. I think you're looking to be negative more than you're looking to positive. Stop adding to the age/cynicism argument. As I mentioned, we have become quite self-sufficient. That has to count for something. We are enjoying one another presence and making this period of darkness into an experience all our own. Only we will have this experience. In that way, I think it makes us, the ones who are here day-in and day-out, hardcore.
No, I'm actually not being negative. What I'm saying is that it's going to be hard to consider some members 'hardcore' or any other terms you want to use, when this was the only darkness they've been through. While the past darknesses had their differences with this current one, they were still some form of blackout. Without those past periods putting the current one into context, I don't feel as if newer members can truly say they're hardcore, if this is the only type of darkness they've experienced.
