Right now I've been neglecting my vidya hobby for the most part only finding time to do a minor bit of gaming here and there, thankfully the summer months are slow for gaming. For me it's been the attempts to really develop my pilot career that are cutting into my vidya time. While I can't imagine anything that would make me completely give up my vidya hobby the only thing I can think of is if at some point in my life I decided to become a "family man". However, I am nowhere remotely near that point nor do I know if I ever want to be, and even if that should occur I doubt it would make me completely give up gaming. I think every one has that one hobby that they just can't let go, vidya is it for me.

welcome to the real world lynk.

I'm somewhat in the same boat, my only problem is i have bought so many games that i haven't even beaten yet, and i still buy more from time to time.

let's take my recent purchase for an example. Star Ocean for ps3. I've only gotten to the Earth from the past, and I've had the game for over a month.

How about all the final fantasy games. I have just about all of them, and yet i've only played and beat one, six, seven, ten, and thirteen.

i'm going to wait until retirement, then that's all i'm probably going to do. maybe i'll beat the games i haven't touched/played much yet

You think that's bad, the copy of SO4 that I bought is still in the shrink wrap

should see my one friend's collection. has like so many copies of older RPGs and most (if not all) are still in plastic wrap.

I wonder if I can get him to get a picture of all his crap, and maybe upload it somewhere.

Heh, it's been a while, eh Linky Winky? You won't have to do any research to remember who i am, i suppose, haha!

Now you know what my life was like back in those days. Uni assignments, office work, all that jazz. Really complicated to manage free time, social life and still get to play games.

i try to play on a regular basis though, when i get back from work. Play for a while till it's time to go to the gym at least. Or when i get back home. Handhelds also help a lot. Can't live without my PSP.

Well, enough for a comment. Catch you later!
