when I was a kid, actually up until not too long ago really, I was really ashamed/embarrassed of video games. really, it was pretty much the only thing I did. I loved games. But there was this stigma that came along with it, being labeled a nerd, loser, whatever.
so a couple years ago i quit games, this new generation at least.
figures by the time that it's finally socially acceptable by nearly everyone (with a lot of girl gamers now, too) I get out of it!
still play older stuff, though. kinda apathetic towards most of it now. i've got almost 800 games, it's probably time to start selling some off..
