GFF is wut?

I always have been and always will be a gamer. I used to be more obsessed then I am now though. I actually don't have more then maybe 2 or 3 games I intend to buy this year but I also have alot of unplayed games still anyhow. MMOs have a way of making stuff pile up.

I don't really play because I'm obsessed with gaming or anything. But right now, I don't have much anything else I feel is worth doing when I'm not at work.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sometimes, I wonder if playing the video games as often as I have/do is worth it. Instead of socializing with the neighborhood kids like normal children do, I spent a majority of my free time on the Nintendo and Sega consoles, only going outside to play when pressed by my parents to do so. Instead of taking my grades seriously, I spent a majority of my time neglecting my homework past the sixth grade and used a lot of my free time on the Nintendo 64 and the Playstation. Now, instead of going out to strip clubs and bars to get drunk, while I don't spend as much time on them, I still spend quite a few hours a week on the XBox 360.

In spite of all that, I'm still not sure what I'd do without video games. They've been a part of my life for so long and I don't think I'd be able to adapt to a life without video games. Hell, if I can get past this "college is a scam" mindset, I'd like to think I can start taking it seriously and start working towards a career in video games.

I wish I could take the high road here and say that the discussion of video games brought me to these forums, but I can't. The hentai board we had up over five years ago is what brought me here, you know, before the no porn rule. I should probably put more effort into joining in on those discussions though.

Wow... aside from that last paragraph just about everything you said reminds me of myself. I stumbled upon this place originally for the video game audio. Decided to check out the forum because I didn't know any other decent video game forums.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
