Yep, I was a big fan of RPGs and games like MGS back during my student days. These days though, RPGs take way too much time to complete, time which I don't really have thanks to work, gf, family, friends, other hobbies, etc.

Nowadays I go for games that you can just pick up and play anytime for about 20-30 minutes or so. I just can't find time to dedicate 1-2 hours per session like I used to.....ahh, a sign of getting older

I think the moment you go from studying ==> work, you'll have changes in your gaming habits. When I studied, I had 4 consoles at one time + my PC, now when I'm working I barely have time to play on my 1 console (360)

It depends on the person....but for me, gaming is already part of who I am. I may reduce the amount of time I spend on gaming, but I doubt I'll stop gaming, ever
