I have given up a few time the longest was for about 2 months but I am always drawn back into it. The first time and the longest time I quit was after the birth of my son I thought i wouldn't have time to game so sold all my consoles (including my retro collection) and went cold turkey. After about 2 months i realised I had spare time and bought an Xbox 360 and I haven't looked back.

I take breaks from gaming though some weeks I wont play at all it just stops me getting burnt out.

Thanks guys appreciate the welcome

Hi I am The Fat Nerd.

I have dabbled in speedrunning for a while although never submitted times anywhere. Figured its about time I set up a twitch, youtube and twitter and actually submitted some times.

I run the Uncharted Games and have tried metal slug.

Would love to learn a new game though and am considering the Streets of Rage series.

I look forward to any advice and hints that you guys have.
