I used to be a hardcore gamer, got married and still gamed quite frequently. But since reaching the 30s I find myself "trying" to buy my way back into it.
For instance I moved to a smaller apartment and got a Dell 580s just to go out and buy a LP 6570. Bought over 100 bucks in Steam sale games and never really played any of them. Moved to a larger PC SG05 with a 6970 and again bought a ton of games just to never really play anything other than a couple hours of L4D2.
Moved to a bigger house bought my current system with crossfire 7970s and again, not really doing much gaming instead just tweaking and running benchmarks.
I was a very serious WoW player, previously to that CS, UT, etc.
These days I am just watching media on my HTPC.
I think it's safe to say I am no longer a gamer. I just don't care enough about them. I beat TR in a rush over 2 days but other than that haven't touched anything really since. I can't even care to finish Bioshock.
Yet I still have an urge to buy more videocards, more Steam games, more console games, even though I know damn well they will go unused.
Is it time for me to sell everything off and get a Mac lol?
I just think it's time for me to admit I'm not a gamer anymore.
