I blame it on my kids... <_<
They just *had* to have the N64 and Zelda: OOT for Christmas that year. Since I believe in being involved in what my kids do...hands on approach to parenting...my hands were on the other controller and I played.
It was my daughters friend that got me into CRPG's...so for me it is just a hobby.
No different than gardening, sewing, reading...etc.
I figure...I am women, I am strong, I can do anything including laundry and rid the earth of evil and the same time... :D
