Never any time to game
player66 | 2:09 PM on 12.17.2008 5 comments


Due to certain financial issues swirling around mi casa at this time of the year, I have been liquidating a large portion of my "last-gen" game library. At first, like in some kind of fevered madness, I planned to get rid of all of my games, systems, memorabilia, etc... and give up games until I had the money to start again. Thankfully, my wife isn't a heartless wench and after one short trip to eBay where she saw 5 year old games going for $50+ she told me to "just keep your games". I solidified my criteria for sale to those games I had played and was content to get rid of at a cheap price, with no plans to repurchase again. I'm a couple hundred dollars closer to economic stability, but now I'm questioning my collection and my complete lack of time to complete any game fully. Most recently, I have played through Mirror's Edge and made serious (but severely hampered) progress through Dead Space, Gears of War 2, Tomb Raider Legend (WTF? I know) Pixel Junk: Eden and too many others to recount here. I typically don't get more than 30 minutes to a couple of hours to play games at night, so with this complete lack of personal time I think it's a lost cause; buying new games only to have a stack of barely played titles staring me in the face for months to come.

I think everybody has the same problems more or less. But you could add some more back story. Why the problems and what are you going to do about it? I just buy too many games to play them all with the respect they need. What about you?

A couple of hours at night is tons of time to game.

I tend to get a couple of hours a week. But hey, I just beat Fable 2 last night! Thus, you won't expect me to be the first to review any new games anytime soon.

Hope you get through financial woes alright. Best of luck to ya.

30 minutes to a few hours a night to game is heaps trust me. I get that much time to game in a week.

But anyways I hope your financial situation clears up too, I've been in situations like that myself and it sucks balls.

But look on the bright side, when you have the money and time to get all the new games you want they would have dropped a fair bit in price anyway, so you can pick up more games for less cash :D
