no plan to either

just one day found it extremely boring, and never played them again

What is interesting, is that I was THE biggest gamer. I balanced a full time life—work and school—with like 40 hours a week of gaming

Then one day in my late teens, probably right before I turned 20, it just didn’t hit the same

I then sold every game, console, and anything else related on eBay, and haven’t played since

anyone else experience this?

Personally, I think it was just because I had started getting serious about other interests I had, and felt like gaming was getting in the way

Yea, somewhere around COD: 4 / Black Ops. Just got real bored with it, and real busy with life.

Then maybe about a year ago, I found out there is a way you could make your PC output old video game console's native resolutions (240p, 480i), so RGB-hacked a CRT television and hooked it up to my PC through a RGB/VGA interface. So I've been having a good time with that.

It is surprising how good the old video games looked with their primary colors and blocky resolution. The more realistic they become, the less imagination is invested in them, and the less immersive they become.

They look fantastic on the media they were meant to be viewed on.
