"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," right?
Everyone needs a hobby, and gaming's been one of mine for as long as I can remember; dunno if I'd call it an addiction though.
Shooters are fine, I still drop by the genre for games like Doom, though I'm most passionate about RPGs (including cRPGs and JRPGs), the genre's been on an uptick lately.
I'd like to direct fellow-minded folks towards CD Projekt RED and Larian Studios and their works, they're really doing euro-gaming proud!
