Motivations for my gaming habits

Video games are very important to me, been gaming my entire life. Gaming was never a just a hobby to me since it was only thing I was ever interested in. I grew up wanting to make games. But never knew which part of the process I wanted to be involved in. A few years ago I stumbled across Giant Bomb, started listening to the podcast on and off. I discovered how fantastic this website is. I've never involved myself in online forums that much, but I've always felt that if I did ever delve into discussion forums I would definitely start here. I love the community and I love the Giant Bomb crew. Lately I find it hard to motivate myself to play games for more than a few hours. I have way too many steam games (around 500), and far too many of them are unfinished, or even worse: unplayed. Most of the time I end up buying a new game then put a few hours into it and then never touch it again. I want to stop this vicious cycle in my life. Other than enjoyment the biggest motivation I have for playing games is discussing them with my friends. I want to use this site as my motivation to play games like I used to. Let's see if I can keep this going - LastBestHope 1/22/15
