For some of us gaming is a lifelong hobby/passion. However, certain periods are more intense or memorable than others. What were the years that you played the most games or were most interested in gaming? When were you happiest and when did you play a string of your favorite games?

For me it was between 2009-2013. Those were the years I wrote reviews for this site. I was one of the most active reviewers. I played all types of games. Games I was interested in. Games that got sent to me by publishers. It was a lot of work though. I did not always enjoy playing the games and a lot of times I missed out on other games I wanted to play. This period came to an end when I moved to Japan for work. I decided against buying a TV/game console so I could focus on studying Japanese, meeting new people, and traveling.  I thought when I moved back to the US I would start up again and to some extent I did but now I don't game much at all. I am too busy with work, trying to get into a grad school program, and maybe moving overseas again. Any time I spend gaming I feel I could spend doing something more productive. I also have less interest in buying new stuff.

Still I look at my peak gaming years quite fondly. I met great people through the site. I got to travel to E3 and the Tokyo Game Show several times. I'm sure I will keep gaming but I doubt I will ever be that dedicated again.
