The opposite to a dedicated video gamer. Casuals are generally new to video gaming and have small experience.
Common definitions of Casual gamers are...
1. Don't play games that often
2. Gamers limited to a few popular mainstream genres (sports, racing, FPS) i.e Call of Duty. They don't expand to other types of genres (RTS, TBS, RPG) i.e any strategic game.
3. Gamers who play recreationally; for fun, rather then play more competitively
4. An insult used by more hardcore/elitist gamers who believe casuals are gaming scum (for most of these reasons)
5. Gaming Rookie or Newbie (not noob)
6. Those who play more simpler games (Facebook games, Flash games, Mobile Games, F2P). See 2. as well
7. Undedicated gamers (cheap computers and console/handheld users).
It's all to one's opinion and perspective.
Also, casuals sometimes get caught in the crossfire of ''The Great PC vs Consoles War'' where the ''PC Master Race'' duke it out with the ''Console Peasants''. Though it doesn't happen usually.

1. "Casual Gamer" - A person who plays video games on an infrequent basis. Usually these games require low time investment and can be played or discontinued on a whim.
2. "Casual" - A pejorative term used by the "gaming elite" to describe any person(s) who doesn't measure up the standards these sycophants have set for their definition of what a true gamer is. The term is becoming quite popular on forums and will no doubt replace "noob" as the new insult gamers use to insult fellow gamers.
Tom: "Dude I just logged 400 hours in FTL, and unlocked all the ships! I'm so uber l337 MLG PRO!"

Tom: "Pfff, casuals like you just don't understand."

A casuallation may strike at any time; When you're sleeping, when you're on the bus, when you're buying a new tractor... whenever!
Just so long as you're relaxed and unsuspecting.
Casuallating is never intense, or even slightly forceful. The casual nature of the casuallation guarantees that it becomes more of a dribble, leaving the casuallator with an embarrassing cum stain.
Casuallation should be treated with embarrassment, but not with pride and honour. It shows a compleate lack of self control!
A person, often when referring to gamers or any other target, that isn't really into it and only does this activity on an infrequent basis while being terrible at it. Can be described as weak sauce or non mlgpro.

"Advil's a drug, you take 12 and you'll die. Have you ever heard of anyone dying by smoking bud?"
A stealthily taken photograph of an ugly or funny looking human being. The art of casuals is very hard to perfect. The perfect casual is not noticeable to the eye and the outcome is an astounding picture.
