Interesting.

Now slightly off topic, how do you feel about games nowadays? Not much excitement at all, right?

I don't tend to have fleeting interests, if that's what you're getting at. I'm still very much interested in science, as I said. I still read books and lots of papers (heck, I'm in the research game myself). I just don't have the urgency to post about it on forums or bore my friends with it down the pub anymore. To be honest, I feel that attitude was kind of pretentious now. I can, however, talk about my own work for hours on end.

As for games. I now restore and sell retro games/consoles as a profitable hobby, I've been doing that for about a year. I also occasionally play strategy/football management games in my free time. I never completely stopped, console gaming just took a big hit.

No, I wasn't getting at that. From what I've learned you aren't a fleeting interest guy. I was just curious.

I have to ask you, what was your specific field again? I forgot...

I also got the impression that you stopped gaming almost completely. Not that you're alone in that here on VGC. I think we have many regular members who don't play games at all, or at least they never discuss them.

Interaction between humans and virtual objects. I think I've sent you a few messages about it in the past. I'll PM you a link to a video explaining my work if you want?

I've not completely stopped gaming, I still kick ass on Football Manager.

Yes, you've told me in the past, I am ashamed I forgot what it was. Send me the PM!
