Sadly I'm the only hardcore in my immediate family (save for a few cousins, I'm the only old schooler though), I loved arcade games in the early 80's, grew up with the Atari 2600, stayed playing arcade games during the crash of 83, picked up steam again come the NES, and now have come down again due to little free time. Couple that for when I get home I feel like I'm wasted as hell and you have a recipe for too tired to get out of bed and hook up a system to play anything (other than some Doremi Fantasy on VC).
The passions not dead, just my energies right now (I did have a game burnout for a few months a coupleyears ago, still collected, played nothing).
