When was working and going to school I kind of got out of it. I remember one day looking forlornly at my dusty Wii and DS, feeling like I had been neglecting them, not sure if or when I would really get back into gaming.

The 3DS really got me going again, then getting a PC that could play games opened up the whole world of indie gaming. Now I do Youtube stuff and even though I don't have nearly as much time as I like to play, I'm extremely into the industry and into whatever I do get to play.

Same. Usually when I start to feel stale with games, I just go out and try something completely different.

To a degree I have, being I can't sit down and play the games I want at any time for however long I want (I've been a father for a year and going on 9 months).

Will probably get my mojo back when my daughter is old enough to pick up a controller herself and we can play some games! Looking forward to that day.

That said, I do feel a sort of stagnation. I mean the most interesting thing to happen to these forums in a LONG time was speculation of a new console which will probably not live up to even half of what people are expecting it to be. This has led me to become sort of jaded compared to the young kid who first signed up for this site FULL of optimism, lol.
