I think what caused it is the fact that I'm finally kinda sort of able to access the means to game like I used to. For a while I couldn't because my PC's board conked out on me, but we managed to scrounge up some spare parts at work so I could have at least a decent gaming machine. I mean, it's good enough to run Fallout 3 at max settings even with the mods I have that enhance the visuals a bit, so it'll run all the games I own.
