I got bored of my Gamecube. Nothing against it, with 52 Gamecube games (excluding Bonus discs and counting the Zelda collectors edition as one) several of which I haven't even begun to play it is a slightly odd problem.
It's not that I've grown out of gaming or anything, I don't think that's possible. Nope it just didn't feel fresh or new... and there was no big Ninty game to grab my attention. So I kitted it out.
I broke 2 official controllers within a month of buying the console on May 3rd 2001 and my Wavebird's L button broke just before Christmas. So I decended upon the town of Bedford and bought some nice new gubbins for me ol' Cube. My precious now has a new Wavebird complete with working L button, a new official controller (coming in at a mere £9.99) and my two most gleeful items... a Hori SNES controller for the Gamecube and a GB Player.
The GB Player has been set up and looks pretty nifty and my new controllers look all cool. So I've been playing games relentlessly. Wahoo it worked.
Just thought I'd let you know of my little technique to get back into gaming, no need to waste 100's on the frankly gorgeous Panasonic Q. the Hori pad though is something very special. Playing Soul Calibur 2 with this controller is beautiful it is almost as good as using Hori's own SC2 arcade board. Using it to play Mario Kart: Double Dash is frighteningly remeniscent of the original MK... and using it to play mt GBA games via my GB player is like re-creating my SNES on the Gamecube.
Everyone by a hori pad, they rule:

Personally I think SR should stock them, it's a fantastic idea.

I'm going through that now. But I've got lots of other things to do at the mo to keep me occupied, so I can't spend as much time on it.
The thing is I wasn't playing it at all...
I just got bored of it... I bought games for it I gave them a quick go (sometimes) and then left it for days on end.
So I thought I'd trick my brain into wanting to play it. I did not want to force myself to use the console.

If you ever get bored of something, like playing on the Gamecube, then maybe you should PLAY LESS ON IT. And then return after, say, a day's abscence.
