nowadays the nintendo 3ds is my platform of choice. that new mario game is pretty good. cant wait to pick up kart!

Haha, nice Franzi! I used to raid in WoW, but the time commitment is just too great. You need to spend at least 10 hours a week raiding, and outside of raids you need to spend probably another 10 hours a week farming gear and materials to get ready for raids. 20 hours a week is basically a part time job. It used to be fun, but after a few years I think of how much more I can accomplish in life without that type of time commitment.

I much prefer a game like SC2 or Diablo 3 where you can just pop on, play for a couple hours, then log out and maybe not play for the rest of the week... I guess I'm getting old.

Have played:

Starcraft 1 and 2
Diablo 1 and 2
World of Warcraft
Warcraft 3/DotA
Guild Wars
Too many others to mention, mainly RPGs

Currently playing:

Skyrim
Diablo 3 beta
Uncharted 3 on PS3

I don't play as much as I used to - having a family definitely cuts into those all day/night sessions I used to have, but I still enjoy playing from time to time. Anyone else play video games?

I used to play Roadrash, NFS 6, FIFA 10 etc. those days in 2008-12 were more colorful i feel. now a days busy with my job life and lost those exciting moments in front of my desktop computer playing video games.
