Damn, these are hard times. I remember fondly the times when I had so much free time that I could beat an RPG in 3 days in a row, or when I beat Half Life and Opposing Force in a week... But now I can hardly sit down grab the gamepad and play for more than 30minutes per day. Waking up at 9:00 am, classes until 8:00 pm, going home, having dinner, then going out at 9:30 pm, having a coffee, then returning home at 11:30 pm...5 days a week, doesn't leave much time for gaming. In the past 4 months I bought Forza Motorsport 2, Fable 2, FarCry 2, Perfect Dark Zero, Soul Calibur 4, Virtua Tennis 3, Duke Nukem 3D, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD, for the 360 (most at a bargain price) and Battlefield 2 complete collection for the PC.

I barely touched Fable 2 and Forza, i'm at 62% on FarCry2, I just began the career on Virtua Tennis 3, and I might have played 4 rounds on Battlefield2...I'm up to the neck with school work, with group work I have to do by myself, with paintings to finish...

I miss those times when a bunch of people would gather around a console, play those fighting games, laugh, those times when we played so many games and we would always exchange those experiences with our friends...

How I wish I was still an hardcore gamer...
