"Do you ever hate gaming?"

I'm not sure what to do. I've got nobody to jump up onto. I've decided to sit back down and try again.

Gaming is dying for me, it's trully fizzling out. It's not that I don't enjoy it anymore, and it's not even that I don't have time for it. I think the answer lies in the fact I don't abuse gaming and use it as my form of escapism anymore. Now I've turned to writing, filming and my mind for that. What then becomes of the games? The world which in all honestly brought me up through the rough as I tried to ignore the pain that I had everything else reminding me of.

I'm trying. Immediately after I finish writing this I shall go and pick up Prince of Persia and enjoy. Try to enjoy. It's a superb game, but I find myself distracted by pretty things flying past my window. Even if they aren't actually there.

I'll blame this bout and topic on depression and insomnia. I haven't slept since Saturday and I'm becoming very weird. I'm living on Mountain Dew!

Anyways - my question! Do you ever just hate gaming?

I hate the direction in which it's going.

I did that as well in January with my PS2 and Xbox. I don't regret it although I have spent a lot of time and money on my PC as I was only ever going to do it properly rather that with a low power PC.

Im thinking of selling the cube and going PC.

It happened to me last year and I didn't touch games for a bout 6 months as I was truly bored with where they were going and everytime I wanted to play a game I just didn't bother when it boiled down to it and I prefered to do something else.

Its not like that now though, I am enjoying gaming as much as I ever have and thats mainly the Cube thats brought me back into gaming, its a truly fantastic console with a superb set of exclusive games.

My Limited edition Mario Kart and Zelda Collectors pack with a new Cube arrived today yet when I was opening it I felt like a child at Christmas, something Nintendo above anyone else can do.

You don't hate it.

You've just done it to death so it's sort of boring...


That happened to me a while back but I'm getting a brief reprise, after digging up a few Snes/N64 classics and getting Metroid Prime, but yeah, I'm sort of moving on from gaming too.

So much for never growing up, eh? ;-)

Nah enough multiplayer whatever kind of fun to be had if you have games like Metal Arms, Viewtiful Joe, F Zero and Mario Kart and all.. looking forward to Twin Snakes.

Yes, I hate gaming at times.

But then I play Kirby Air Ride and love it again, it's why gaming is so great.

Heh, do you live in America or something?

I swear they don't sell it over here

I don't ever hate it, but I can get frustrated by it, and now with school, net and work I'm running out of time for it.

When I master the finer points of writing and games design, I'll give you an update! :D
