I’m not sure if it’s just part of my overzealous attempt to reevaluate life with all the “grown up” changes but, a lot of games in the last two years have not really interested me. I’ve been telling myself for a while now that it’s just because I’m so busy, I don’t have time to play as much as I used to. I constantly go back and forth in my head making up reasons as to why something that was as normal as breathing to me slowly became something that I didn’t acknowledge unless I felt like I sounded like a fraud to others.
My profession makes it all that much worse. People I know tend to come across me on the internet every now and then and start to ask questions. As douche-ish as it is to say, “Oh yeah, I’m a video game journalist on my down time…” I feel like it’s becoming a lie.
I’ve been neglected gaming quite a bit and I honestly don’t keep up with a lot the buzz that goes around in the industry. As of late, it just doesn’t interest me. One would assume that with new consoles and the VGAs (Oh Boy!) that I would have dove head first into all the next-gen madness and pushed everything else aside for it.
