UT is the only game I've played regulary (daily) for the past three years. Nothing else interests me. If you play a certain game for that much time, you get adapted to every little aspect of it. I find it hard to believe it takes you less than a minute to adjust between all those different games without playing like a total newbie. You probably don't care about winning and that's cool but I'm more competitive. I play ut to win and fun comes second. UT2k3 will most likely take me 3 months or more to get completely comfortable with.
Actually, I've played a little game almost daily (I played daily but I stopped for short whiles a couple of times) for about 3 years also. It's called Subspace. I used to play about 15 zones per reset (every two weeks). There, all zones have completely different settings (8 ships, each with tens of different properties, all adding up to hundreds of factors in that game...More than maybe all FPS ever made put together), and after playing that many for a little while, I became quite good in basically every SS zone out there and only after minutes of playing, where as someone who only plays 1-2 zones would take months or more to get to that level.
I also love 3D graphics and tend to try out most FPS and other types of games, so I'm not new to those either.
I'm not extremely good at FPS, compared to people who have played the same game for years, but I'm no newbie and I mostly do bad when people cheat (ie, seeing through walls, aim bots, etc.)
Anyway, it's all in the practice, and believe me, if you get used to knowing what to learn when playing a game, it's extremely easy to get used to it very quickly.
