Sorry about the title could not think of anything better!

Anyway it has just clicked in my head that I have not played any computer games for 2 weeks solid!

Once I had thought about it more, I began to wonder why this strnge event has happened to me! The last game I played was CM00/01 ages ago!

Then I remembered this is not the first time this has occured with me, a while ago I went ages without playing any games! so as the scientific sheep I am I decided to work this one out!

I came to a conclusion that this will happen one point in a gamers life whatever the reason it will happen!

Mine this time may be down to stress over my homework and studying because when I come in I go on net sit at desk and do work alnite and no time to get a break! Last time I believe it was down to the torture I went through when I broke (I mean little cousin...:D) my playstation I was in pain and was put off games!

Now I am having a little theory going down here, different emotions put you off games so why not tell me some of your stories about going cold turkey playing games!

Right here it is! after Euro 96 when your country (i hope) England got knocked out, you were digusted with anything to do with games! then your Uni came into the picture lots of stress with work led you to stay off games even more, then your computing course made you sick of computers as you said!

Then it all fell into place and to relaxe you went back to playing your games!

See happens to every gamer!

lol... I finished Uni in 98... and had been on/off quite busy through that time working/driunking/etc... also I was doing a Computing degree, so I was often too sick of computers to go home and play games (apart from the odd Mario Kart)...

Its only been fairly recently that I've gotten back into playing games... about 96+ I stopped playing games almost altogether for 3-4 years...

Even when I go on holiday I play videogames!

Refering to the other topic about Arcades this is actually the only time I spend good money on arcades:)

All my life I have been playing videogames of some kind (apart from when I was to young to understand what a videogame is/was)

So there are only a few things that have actually stopped me playing games.

Those reasons are personal though and I'd rather not talk about them.

And no stupid comments about that please cos I wont dignify them with an answer!
