Well I've been playing WoW again. Not nearly as much as I was a year ago, to be sure, but yeah, I've been playing it a few hours a week again. To my credit, I haven't let it take over my life, I am still able/willing to log out whenever need be, and I am not putting it ahead of my more important priorities.
I feel a little guilty about it, I guess, I dunno. I was really happy when I was able to quit a few months back, but as time has passed, I realized that there are not a whole lot of games that really interest me anymore. I just picked up GTA4 today, but I haven't really been sucked in yet, although it is quite entertaining.
I recently built myself a new computer, well, new in the sense that I did not own it until recently. Performance-wise, it's actually rather slow and would have a lot of trouble handling newer games at high graphics settings. But I don't regret my decision, because this is all I need at this point.
I still consider myself a fan of video games, I enjoy playing them with my friends, especially more casual, active ones like Super Smash Bros, or Meteos on the DS (which is my favorite system right now, seriously, it rules!) But new games? Giant "meh" for the most part. I have played some new-ish games, and even bought quite a few of them, but I usually only end up playing them for a very short time.
I honestly spend more time just doing various things on the computer then I do gaming anymore. Chatting with friends, watching Youtube vids, getting lost in Wikipedia, reading fanfics, browsing IMDB... the list goes on and on.
Anyway, I decided I would play again, and this is me trying to justify it for myself by saying that I only play a fraction of the time that I used to, and I'm not very serious about it either (heck, right now I'm neglecting my quests to write this... A.D.D FTW!)
