I started a new job a few months ago that can get pretty stressful, and my obsessive tendencies seem to be shifting away from games (in the past I have also obsessed over Transformers, Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Star Wars, the age of arcades... I'm only 24, ok, and there was some pretty cool stuff to read about in all those subjects). You haven't peaked at all. I'm still a fan (just read a couple of your later posts, and I am waiting to hear more about CSB).<br /><br />Probably, what got me was two games I couldn't drum up interest for: Hero Quest (sorry, Corey) and Drakken. Now my readership seems to be ok, except for all the other stuff on my mind and in the work-place that also demand my time.Giauzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546859151525161696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-51176232961090556052013-02-02T17:46:06.011-05:002013-02-02T17:46:06.011-05:00I think once I played The Magic Candle, I peaked i...I think once I played <i>The Magic Candle</i>, I peaked in your eyes.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-5232759860033557382013-01-29T16:52:23.693-05:002013-01-29T16:52:23.693-05:00I know!
