Achievement Whore Burn Out


It could be because I am tired or I feel that I have too many games on my plate but I am starting to feel that burn out that we all experience in our Achievement Whoring careers. Maybe it happened to you when you played one too many bad games in a row. Legendary, Pimp My Ride, Secret Service, & Hour of Victory is not a gaming cocktail of goodness as Omega will tell you. Maybe you have a 3 out plan from Gamefly, 1 out from blockbuster, and you have friends sending you games like myself and you aren't getting to enjoy the joys of gaming like Fallout 3 and Afro Samurai. Maybe you crunched down to hit a milestone or to win a contest like the GSL and are just plain wore out. Whatever the reason, you come to ask the one question all whores and obsessives ask once and a while... why do I do this?


Why did I go from DAH to Secret Missions to Secret Service while skipping Afro Samurai and Fallout 3? Why do I care about overall gamerscore? Why am I not enjoying gaming enough to where I can knock out a 5-10 hour game in a day or two rather than the good part of a week?


I'm not done whoring but I need a bit of a break. Tomorrow I am mailing out Secret Service and Pure to whoever is next on the CruFly Queue. I am cutting my gamefly back to 1 out again and canceling my BBV gamepass. Tomorrow I will play Afro Samurai and after I finish that I will play Fallout 3 or Too Human. I will still play a shit game but I just have to start playing some good games too and to do that, I have to cut down the stack of games I "have" to go through. I still expect Asterix though Rand Al.

I know that I have 3 times as less GS then you, but I feel the same way. And since I'm Canadian we don't get gamefly so I have 1 out from BB all the time. And it does get annoying.

Canada does have their own gamefly...

I definetally know the burnout in which you speak of. I have committed myself to playing good games for a month or two once GSL is over.
