I didn't start getting I kind of lost my social life from like 11-15 yrs old, when I moved to a new town, and of course hair starts showing up where there was no hair
During those 4 years I had a couple friends that were into gaming, and got me into gaming, and I started to develop my tastes. When 16 hit, all I wanted to do was get laid and hang out with as many people as I could... fast forward 6 years of alcohol and ass, and I have a really good job, in a new town, and don't have a huge social life anymore.
Games are really just another form of entertainment for me now, and I definently am a casual gamer (like 1-4 hours a week), but I do still enjoy them. I find that the more real life crazy experiences I have, and the more traveling I do, the less interested I am in being any degree of a die hard gamer. Games now tend to replace other habits and activites to wind down at night, or to kill most of a Sunday or something after all my other things are taken care of.
