[General Discussion] Former/Post Gamer's Coalition

I'm not ready to label myself a former gamer just yet...I'm still interested in plenty of upcoming titles and I always turn to some of the great 8/16 bit titles when I need a quick study break (I'm nursing Super Ghouls and Ghosts right now, while I work on a paper...Ouch is all I can say). College and real life has just put something of a dent in my game time and, unfortunately, my enjoyment. I mean, it's hard to justify plopping 40 hours into an RPG with homework and a serious job hunt down the line. It's all about moderation, but even when I HAVE the proper time, I just can't get comfortable. Not like, say, watching a football game, where I just forget everything for 3 hours.

Heh, just a month ago, my credit card got charged for a whole year of Xbox Live again...This is my third year. I played the hell out of it the 1st year, then not so much towards the end...the second, I used it 3 times (total) and I figured I wouldn't resubscribe because it was a waste of money. Too late now...I'm stuck with 11 months of Live service now. And the same ugly wire running from one room, through the hall and through the middle of my room.

For the record, I'm 25 and I have 20+ years of near-obsessive gaming background. I don't think I'm going down that easily...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
