There comes a point where you're spending time with friends, maintaining relations with family, keeping up a home, dating a serious s.o., and taking your job seriously enough to go to bed at a reasonable hour.

This does not take into account trying to eat right (breakfast, home meals not takeout, etc.), exercise, other hobbies or special events.

At this point, there's just not a whole lot of time left for gaming, sadly. I've seen it happen to all of my friends -- we have a "backlog" now of games we own and would still like to get to, but it's usually only the truly great ones that are good enough to get real attention.

At 15, 16, I looked forward to being free of school & parents, and being able to set my own priorities -- like gaming as much as I want to. Turns out, as you age some of your priorities change, and I gamed much more then than I do now!
