I wholeheartedly agree Merc. I feel like I'm going through a bit of a burnout myself. I work a lot of overtime all the time, and the rest of my time is usually spent either with my girlfriend, fixing the computers in my house, or with my current project of fixing up my basement. I simply do not have the same amount of time that I used to have to play anymore. While it kind of saddens me because I do miss it, it's not like I'm devoid of doing anything worthwhile. In fact, I feel like I'm doing more, and it makes me happy, which is really what's important. I'll always have gaming, it's not like these things are going anywhere. The time I have now, though, that moves pretty fast.
I noticed this lately when one of my best friends has been all psyched about RE4 for months, and just got it the other day and has been playing the crap out of it. Me, on the other hand, I've just been like, meh. That surprised me because I LOVE the RE series, have since the beginning. And then I realized how long ago the beginning was, and then I started to feel old lol. Bah, I've gone on too long. Anywho, the magic I find is still there, it just doesn't completely enchant me the same way that it used to. Then again, I'm not just a wide-eyed kid either, and the Internet didn't exist the same way now as it did in the late 80's-early 90's.
*I actually wore than suit at least once a week my senior year of high school too, along with a different colored one for each day of the week. My proudest moment was when I bought me an Armani for half of what one usually costs {back then} with the whole "Beat" Takeshi look. That dark blue Armani is gone too, and these days I wouldn't bother putting on a suit. My double breasted charcol black one was my fave, used to wear it when I bounced at Club Gallianos in the late 90's before I decided the quasi-1950's hood look {blue jeans, boots} mixed with Gurentai Hawaiian shirts was my thing.
