A few days may go by once in a blue moon, where I don't really feel like playing anything at all(almost always caused by the fact I'm in the mood to play something new, yet nothing good was coming out atm), but what you're talking about, hell no.Quote:

The only time I play video games anymore is with friends really. No matter what I buy, I can't get myself to sit down and play for long periods of time myself...
Thankfully I've got a buddy who's coming over Sunday who always plays video games with me when we hang, so I'm looking forward to some epic match-ups of Blades of Steel and a runthrough of Super C or something along those lines then. But alone? It's just not that fun anymore.
That being said, I still love to talk about video games and play them with friends or in arcades immensely, and I would still love to run my own video game store. Go figure.
Sports games also seem to be the only constant in which I can sit down and play anymore. Not sure why, but the only thing I've really sat down and played in the past few months is Tecmo Super Bowl.
Gee that sucks,....when well you list them for sell now?
I had all the good times I could have.
Its time to move on.
Yes. I sold off my old collections. No point in hanging on to old stuff when it's easy to emulate. I'm saving money for a down payment on a new house. Collecting game junk doesn't do it for me anymore.Quote:

Hey gglol:
If you're certain of your position, then it may be time to get rid of the games. However, I can only speak out of experience: When I was in my early 20s, I was in that very position. You try to gain a footing in your life long goals. And fun activities that you once enjoyed get put on the backburner. As you travel down life's path, you may one day return back to gaming! Just make sure that you give yourself that option. Cheers.
I kinda feel that way. There's no way I can get the same enjoyment from games now than I did when I was a kid and in my 20's. Its virtually impossible. Not to mention the industry has changed so much which doesnt help matters any.Quote:

Maybe keep them for my future children or something.
I'm sure most of us have lost interest in gaming at one time or another, but we all eventually come back to the games. I can sometimes go several months without playing a single game, but I eventually come back into full swing.
Just give it some time, and eventually you'll find gaming interesting again someday.
I was hoping you were going to say that! I have a feeling that the joy of gaming will return. You simply need a hiatus from it all! :)Quote:

Part of it is time management (between school, other hobbies -including forum discussions, and other responsabilities/chores), and another part is interests in general. The games I'm really looking forward to right now are some classic PC space/flight sims (and a few other old PC games -including graphic adventures), and I really want to get a proper win9x/DOS rig set up before getting into that again.
There's a list of classic console games and many newer/new-ish console and PC games I plan to get to eventually, but the retro PC stuff is at the top of my list for now.
Kids don't care about old stuff.Quote:
