"What is wrong with me?"

I keep buying games. Commando’s 3, Command and Conquer Generals, Football Manager 2005, Doom 3, Halo 2, Pro Evo 4 and Sims 2 to name a few recently. I buy them, I play them once and I never go back to them. I've still got some games I bought ages ago yet to complete, such as The Wind Waker.

Am I losing the love I once had for gaming? Does anyone else find that they've started to do this?

I think its a case of getting older and the value of money becoming less important.

Back when i was younger i would save up my pocket money till i could afford the game i wanted. Took a while to save up for one game so it made it extra special wheni could afford one.

But these days i can buy a game quite easily without it putting a dent in my finances. This, as it looks like in your case, leads to buying games without thinking about it too much. You may also find yourself buying too many games in the same period of time which doesnt let you focus on a particualr game for a large enough period of time to get you hooked on it.

Thats my theory anyway. A year ago i used to buy loads of games and hardly play on any, but this year i only bought PES4 and San andreas and have given them both a major rape.

I went off games for about 7 months.

Back on now. *shrugs*

I desperately tried to think of some innuendo clean enough to post involving applying moisturiser from a tube I’d give you while you’re blindfolded, but they were all too dirty for this forum.

I don't need to ask I'll believe anything you tell me :)

Yep same here, i've not bought a game in a year, i rented GTA:SA and played it for all of 15 minutes, couldn't get into Hitman 3, Syphon Filter, PES, the only reason i still have the PS2 is because of the DVD thing and my Final Fantasy games.

I haven't got enough hair to have to use that. Ask Lawrence, she'll tell you.

Life gets in the way as you get older and you are getting older. That bottle of Grecian you bought t'other week should have told you that.

Tell me, have you got other things in your life taking up your time now? You know, unimportant stuff like Coursework, exams or a full-time job? If so, I reccomned that you drop-out and/or quit and sign-up for the dole. You will soon rediscover your love of gaming.
