Add me on Steam as well, http://steamcommunity.com/id/PlasX
I've found myself in a very similar predicament as yourself lately and I feel that I agree 100% with your post. Almost 23, out of college, and I miss the old days of Gearbox, Xfire, H2V, etc. Hell, I feel a lot more alone now when it comes to gaming cause I used to remember my chats blowing up with people wanting to play games / receiving friend requests. Now, I don't get any of that aside from the occasional "Woops didnt mean to send that to you" messages. Feels bro.
