Realisation of a married enthusiast/gamer :
(i) Bid adeu to competitive multiplayer gaming.
(ii)You are lucky if you can manage more than an hour of gaming a week
(iii)You are always in a financial crunch, so the most viable upgrade from a dead GTX 280 will be a HD6850.
(iv)You are suddenly conscious about electricity bills and make do with a Core2Duo.
(v) You play Alice-Madness Returns as its the only title the missus takes some interest in. FPS and Racing sims are a blasphemy and could induce household violence in real-time.
(vi) An INR 1.5k game title is an absurd buy whilst an INR 3k flower vase is a steal deal.
(vii) Rise in petrol prices hampers your plan for that SB upgrade.
(viii)The internet is a shopping mall for the lady.
(ix) The big @$$ LCD TV that you bought to enjoy your games and movies (heck you paid a premium for that Full-HD model just for the same) is used to display agonizing soaps and reality shows in shitty SD.
(x) Your Sidewinder X6 and G9X are covered in dust and grime.
(xi) After a year or so, you find yourself struggling with any game, your skills have taken a hit, your fingers ache after an hour long session and you wonder how you managed to do that all day just a few years back.
(xii) Your OS has not been reinstalled in 2 years and there are more than 20 installed games (some more than a year old) with level of completion ranging between 2% and 10%.
(xiii) The fans in your cabby cranks and whines to life every time you switch on the PC, reminding you that your "dabba" is now a relic of the past.
(xiv) You are unaware of current market prices of HW. You live through new releases of both Games and Hardwares through TE reviews and discussions. You have no content to add to them whatsoever.
(xv) At work, as you troll through TE, you realise that the world has moved on(without you).
) and I am quite anxious how things might be. I am kind of a loner and need time for myself to do things I like. So obviously being with another person would mean lesser my-time!
