Gaming has always been a big fraction of my life. Ever since I got my first game console, which was a Super Nintendo (SNES) at the age of four, I was hooked immediately and have been hooked as a hardcore gamer until recently. So, I have been thinking about what has been causing this decay of interest.

One of the biggest causes is that I have had a girlfriend for a few months now and she is not into games at all. At first this didn't really matter to me, but it soon came to me that I enjoyed spending time with her and my friends more than I did gaming. Also, my friends don't game as much as they used to and instead they hangout a lot and have fun most of the time. My point here is that I don't like to miss out on what some people say, "Good Times". This, in turn, brought me further away from gaming by me spending more time going out rather than staying at my house being a couch potato. Lastly, there hasn't been many great games that have come out since the end of December, but that is just my opinion.

All in all, it seems like my social life has really been interfering with my gaming and I'm not really sure if I'll be able to fix it. I am not saying that I'm going to stop playing games completely, but I'm saying that my interest in gaming is not as high as it used to be. I'm even starting to consider myself a casual gamer now. I really hate this feeling because I've been a big gamer for so long, but that hobby seems to finally be fading. Anyways, I just wanted to get this out here. I will still play the great games soon to come out because no matter what, I can't resist those. Later.
