I grew up playing videogames. I was hooked - from Mario Bros. on NES to Final Fantasy Tactics on PS to Counter-Strike on PC . . ..

Now, I find that I'm losing interest in games - heck, I have KOTOR, but it just sits there, and I spend more time iwth minesweeper than it!

I don't like to think of it as "growing out of it" since I don't really have anything better to do, but a rather strange muatation of "bleh"-ness, I suppose (sorry, I've been hanging out with bad influences :) ).

Anyhoo, I hung out with people who are dropping out because they play so much damn videogames and honestly, I don't have the urge to play - I just grow bored and want to do something . . . outside!

I think I'm turning "normal" - well, "less dorky", anyways.

Help!

Next week you'll be outside, standing with a rock pretending it's a joystick and making beep, bling, bong noises.

Well, the thing is, I see a trend here - as a young'n, I used to play all the time - I noticed, with the onset of college, my videogame time has consistantly decreased over the years, resulting in my current state, which is of me playing mine-sweeper more than any other game.

This might be a sign of my decrepit old age of 22, but when I see my young whippersnapper friends (21, 20, and uh . . . 27) playing games for 40 hours straight (only taking breaks to go to the bathroom and eat), I shake my head and shake my cane at them in disbelief!

Well not really. But I sure as hell can't do that - I have trouble doing that for two hours straight let alone 40!

I didn't play many games myself between the ages of 18 and 25. Now I'm back to being a pc/console whore and I love it.
