I've been gaming my entire life. My earliest memories are sitting in front of the TV playing on my Atari 2600. I didn't know back then that the Pac Man game I was playing was completely inferior to the one from the arcade, and all I knew about the E.T. game was that the logo scared the heck out of me, but I knew I loved to play them.
Little has changed in 29 years, I still plop down in front of the TV to play my games, and the E.T. logo still scares the crap out of me, but back then all I had to worry about was if I wanted juice or milk with my lunch, these days I'm thinking about mortgages, and my career, and *gasp* kids (someday!)
My point is that I'm coming up on 30 really fast, and I'll be hitting it in just a couple short months. Already I'm feeling the squeeze of time as I try to figure out how to balance my life and still keep up with the games I want to play. I don't know if this will be interesting, I don't know if anybody will follow it, but I hope there's a few of you out there who will read and follow, and find that some of what I'm going through will strike a cord close to home.
My name is Video. I'm currently 29. I own all of the current consoles, and also play World of Warcraft in an end game raiding guild. I have a beautiful wife, a lovely home, a dog, a cat, and a good paying job. I also play other games, like Magic: The Gathering, Munchkin, Red Dragon Inn, etc. This is my story on how I try to balance all of my life with all of my gaming, and what games I as an almost 30 year old gamer am playing, and which ones are going to have to sit on the side.
I hope you all enjoy the ride with me.
