But it's fun as hell! That's why I play games. Not to get any meaning out of it, just for some good ol' fun.

Yeah, it's fun. But I find that lately I just can't enjoy gaming without always having real world problems, responsibilities, obligations on the back of my mind. I've bought so many games lately and I just never get around to playing them. Damn Hot Deals!

I've purchased 4 games in the last 2 years... yet I have every PC Gamer going back to '94 :). I don't game anymore, but the industry still fascinates me. I wish I could play games again, but everytime I do, I feel like I could be doing something more productive.

btw... the games I've purchased were (and I do not pirate):

The Longest Journey
Dungeon Siege
Syberia
Call of Duty
(and I got Civ III as a Christmas gift)
