Gaming was like breathing. It was the biggest part of my life as a teenager, one of my priorities as a college student, and eventually one of my most expensive “hobbies” as a young professional.
Then all of a sudden, after thousands of hours spent playing across genres and platforms, boredom hit me hard for the very first time in my early thirties. Some of my favorite games soon gave me the impression of being terribly long. I couldn’t help but notice all the repeating tropes and similarities in game design between franchises.
I figured it was just a matter of time before I found the right game to stimulate my interest again, but time continued to go by and nothing changed.
Is it that games have failed to innovate, or that real life is ultimately more engaging?

Ah, yeah, Portal and Portal 2 are stupendously awesome. Though, possibly the most fun I've had on VR is the Portal Stories mod for Portal 2. It's literally more Portal 2 in VR. Slightly different mechanics, but stupid fun. Really short, but it gives me hope that Valve might possibly do something really fun with VR.
King's Quest was the one series I really played much of in that style. It was quite fun. Text wise, there was Humbug, Hugo's House of Horrors, and Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy (If I remember correctly, though I think I played a shareware version.).
