Quite a while back, I discussed with some people that I felt like gaming was no longer as magical for me as it once was. I couldn't really put a specific reason towards this that actually made sense. One thought was that it was simply me growing up, but I didn't want to believe that, because I strongly felt games can still be magical for somebody in their 20's. Another was that games nowadays just don't have that magical factor (or I'm simply not playing the right ones for my tastes). Following that discussion, gaming quite literally hit a low point for me in my life. In 9 months time, I played almost no games, excluding a bit of Civ 5 or League of Legends with friends on occasion. It was quite amazing, as never did I see myself as not seeing gaming as an important part of my life.
I really didn't know how to get gaming back into my life, but moving in with a good friend certainly helped. We set out to start fresh with gaming, going all the way back to the NES and Super Mario Bros. With this, we made a goal that we would work our way through some of the great games from my past.
In this thread, I'll post quick journal entries about how things are going, what I'm currently playing, etc. I wouldn't mind suggestions for games. The consoles I own are: Super Nintendo, N64, PS3. I will likely be purchasing a Wii and WiiU, as well as a PS2 in the near future. I also wouldn't mind if people discuss if they have ever had similar situations to my own.
Expect my first journal entry to come later today.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
