I have 30 years to go

[Chaotica]

I kind of quit when I was 19 and didn't really resume until I was 21. No games then really appealed to me, so I just stuck it out with an old Pentium 2 computer when everyone else were upgrading their machines to play the latest games. I think it is okay to take a break, especially when nothing is appealing to you - it makes you appreciate the games you do enjoy more, when you get around to playing them.

Well quitting isn't an option for me though I know nothing seems to interest you anymore, I've been like that on many occasions, but I force my self to play, bcuz like agozer said there's to much to play/see in so little time, so wasting it would be a sin... My gaming days changed when I got an internet connection last summer that was a little better than a 56k but very expensive 1,20 $ per hour or so but I didn't care started paying less attention to finishing games and started posting alot more on 1emu, as u can see I joined 2 years ago but my post cound sucks, started downloading more for the fun of it... while my bill started rissing it got to 400 $ on one month which is freakin insane then I got a satellite which is more than enough atm, but now I realize that while I was wasting so much time on the net (not on 1emu) I could have played and finished a shitload of games...

 

Now I started what me and a friend call "The Great Game Hunt" which is basically an insane hunt for every game, good or bad that has appeared in the last 10 years (O_O)

We work with our 3 national game magazines and make a list each month of what new games come up and struggle at any cost to get 'em... but we need to catch up alot... bcuz being in a crap country like mine I didn't have much knoledge of games until 1997 and up and even then I was smalltme....

 

Anywayz my folks give me alot of crap bcuz they think 2-3 days in front of the pc is fatal for me, and bcuz I don't pay much attention to school, but I don't care I'll just keep playing and watching anime and listening to cool OSTs no matter the collateral damage, I have the utmost respect for James for being true to games even at 30 years and I hope we all get at 70 years of age in a kaillera tornament or something....

 

I guess what I'm really trying to say is: GAME ON, GANBATE!!!

[L.S.D]

I stop playing my PS2 since there are no appealing games (yes, even GT4, GTA and MGS did not appeal me at console level).

But I am still the hardcore PC gamer, and even took out those classic games I had and replay (games like Diablo 2, Half Life etc etc).

Never got bored with PC games

[montpics]

Yes, Diablo 2 is still a great game.

[Gryph]

I wouldn't call Diablo 2 a classic...it's not THAT old.

[Agozer]

Yup

[Gryph]

Really? I haven't seen it. I still see normal Diablo II boxes.

[L.S.D]

Any games beyond 5 years are classic in my book IF their

replayability is really great

[Agozer]

Really? I haven't seen it. I still see normal Diablo II boxes.

Diablo II and it's Expansion have been selling here as a Classic title for a while now. I might pick it up.
