This quote from the last entry on my old site makes me chuckle…
I am currently working on a few new sites, and a games review site is one of them, so keep watching…
Apart from the fact that a) it was nearly two years between the previous entry and that one and b) it was another three years before I seriously updated the site (holding pages not included), it was that I wanted to do another games site.
Back then, and in fact up until recently, I was seriously into games. Spent a fortune on them (ask my wife!). I had my Dreamcast on the day of release. I pre-ordered and queued up at midnight for my Playstation 2. I had a GeForce 256 practically as they came out. I used to spend hours on Unreal Tournament online. I had to have most games on their day of release, and regularly bought several games a month. A week sometimes.
Now…nothing.
I still own:
- Playstation (original – not PSOne)
- Nintendo 64
- Dreamcast
- Playstation 2
- Gameboy Advance
- X-Box
- A GeForce Ti4600 128MB
- Lots of games for them all
But I don’t play them. At all. The X-Box sees occasional use as a DVD Player in the bedroom, but that’s it.
It’s not been a conscious descision – it’s just that sometime in the past twelve-to-eighteen months I seem to have grown out of playing games…
