Big pubg guy, use to love star craft and rts games like total war .. haven’t been using pc for awhile though just haven’t had time and it’s a little pricey .. just kinda hop on Xbox if any my friends are around but I’m going to snag fallout 76/red dead
 
Used to be huge into gaming, going all the way back basically to the start of it. I remember playing APBA Baseball on an Apple IIc that was all text based. Chew on that for a minute. Was into all the consoles growing up as well as computer games big time. Played MMORPGs through my 20s as well as FPS games. Then I started a law firm and had kids and, man, I don't think I've played a single game in close to a decade. I definitely miss it.

**** so you’re telling me when you get older you don’t have time ? Lol I kept swearing to myself when I was like 13 I’d be gaming until I die but every year I just have less and less time sadly
 
Funny...I havent been much into gaming in recent years outside of GTA and some sports games. Was talking to a friend last night about how some games used to come on TWO discs. Definitely one way to know you had your work cut out for you.

When I was going back to look at the list of two-disc games, one that was very high on my personal favorite list was Resident Evil 2. Amazingly, it turns out the developers re-mastered the game for current gen consoles with a target release of January 2019. Needless to say I will be making time to play that.

Loyal Halo MCC player. Not touching that battle royale or sprint/advanced movement garbage. Map control, map movement, power weapon spawns etc. are essential to a fun FPS experience.

LOL Sadly, yep. Kids more than anything, really. Starting my own business was a massive time consumer, but once I had kids is when gameing really ceased to exist in my life. My firm gobbles up so much of my time that I'm already limited on how much time I can be home with the fam. And it quickly got to a point where I just didn't feel right gaming for a few hours instead of playing with my daughter, or spending some time with the Mrs after the end of a long day and all the craziness. I'll get back into gaming one day for sure, as it was a huge part of my life for so long and I love it. My 5year old is just starting to show an interest so hopefully I can get her into gaming too. Then Dad can game a bit AND spend some QT with the kid as well! ;-)

Different for everyone, obviously. I'm sure there are lots of parents who still find time to game. My life just hasn't lent itself to that the last 10+ years. I'm lucky to get my pickup bball in every week on top of the Canes game which is mandatory. Got my 5yr old girl really into football (not by chance, BTW, she was brainwashed from birth!) so we always have football on in the house during the season and I don't have to lock myself away in a man cave to get my football fix.

I played FPS games all on my PC back in the day. Keyboard and mouse guy. Now all the good ones it seems are console-based. I've tried 'em, but this old man doesn't have the skills he once did. I end up being that idiot stuck in a doorway raising his gun up and down while I get knifed in the back. LOL
