I'm not much of a gamer. When I was a teen you still had to put quarters into an arcade game to play and my quarter didn't last very long. My frugality wouldn't let me spend money on video games.
I did go through a bit of an Age of Conqueror's phase about 5 years ago but that eventually wore off.
My gaming experience these days is as a host for LAN party's. I've had a few all nighters at my house now in the last year. The guys are really considerate and thankful for a place to hang out and play their games. They are glad for my fast fiber optic connection to the internet.
They stay up until about 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning and then crash anyplace they can find for a few hours before playing until about 5:00 PM. It makes for about a 24 marathon. This time I had about 10 guys spend the night. Let me know if you are interested in playing and I'll add you to the invite list for next time.
I had the distinct pleasure of officiating at my first memorial service earlier today for Jack Hill. What a testament to a life well lived. His friends packed the church out. The ushers had to bring chairs into the lobby to make room for the overflow crowd. His quiet but consistently faithful life touched the lives of many people. He will be missed but not forgotten. 
We spent the day after the 4th with friends on Moses Lake. My wife loves personal watercraft!! Anytime we are invited, we accept! Wonderful day full of eating, laughing, napping, cruising the lake, catching up with friends. Here I am with Katie having fun on the lake. She did ask me to slow down a little and not take too many fast turns. Good times!
My wife and I decided to host our neighbors for a BBQ on the 4th of July. We've live in our home for 2 and a half years and have had some extended conversations with most of them. But there is something special about sitting around a table and sharing a meal together that creates an intimacy you don't arrive at with conversations acros the fence. We didn't get the invites out until the day before so we were happy to have 2 of our 5 neighbors show up at Noon to partake in a meal together. We learned a lot about each other and hopefully established a close enough relationship that will grow over the years. We hope to do this more often.
