So, I just don't feel like gaming anymore. Magic is gone.

[pariz]

I quit gaming for 8 years (from year 2000 to 2008).
Since then I got me a Wii (2008), a PS3 (2009), a gaming PC (2010) and I was actually thinking in getting me a 3DS this year.
Truth to be told, I don't have enough time to play half the games I would want to and getting new platforms doesn't seem to be helping me.
Coming back to games after so many years was great, a really exciting rediscovery. Quitting for a couple of years might be a good strategy to get the magic back one day but I think it is only possible when you are very busy with other things in your life. If not, playing only local multiplayer might be a great idea.
At the moment, instead of buying a 3DS, I'm considering buying a beautiful Nikon D7000 to persue another of my hobbies: photography. The only problem is the money it costs!!
