About Me
My names Matt, better known as SwiftKarateChop from youtube. I’m just your everyday guy but….much cooler haha. I’m from alabama, just recently moved to California, so I rock the custom accent. I’ve been gaming since I was about 3 and still going strong. I love all types of games, from fps, rts, to mmorpg. I’m a PC junkie.



STAR WARS = LOVE (yes I AM A SITH LORD) muhahaha

I am extremely easy to get along with and I love making people laugh.

I'm an A.D.D Gamer
swiftkaratechop | 12:41 AM on 05.14.2008 17 comments


So lately I find myself becoming very very A.D.D when it comes to games. I can not really find a game that really holds my interest for long. I only played WoW for like 2 months before i was completely burned out on it. I recently bought an xbox 360 and I played it HARDCORE for like 1 week and now I haven't even left the dashboard for like 3 days.



I remember when I was little I would play the same game for months, and now I lose interest in a game after like a week or 2....sometimes less. I am constantly playing different games, CONSTANTLY, i have roughly 10 games on my computer that I play all at the same time throughout the week and then I have console games I play too.

ONE GAME IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seriously miss the days when I could pop in Legend of Legia for PS1 and play for hours, back when I actually cared enough about the storyline of a game to buy the strategy guide. Final Fantasy 7 took me months to beat but I played that damned game a little bit EVERYDAY!



Am I a ADD gamer or have games become..."less storyline" and only graphic driven.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Ive got like 25 games that I'm playing at the moment. A lot of them being on PSP.

I don't consider myself an ADD gamer, I just crave variety.

yea it's so hard to find one game that has everything I need, so i'm everywhere from shooters to mmorpgs to rpgs. They are all lacking the hook i need to stay on them alot

exactly, like i use to play them till i beat them and that was back when you couldn't even save the games haha.

Now they just run out of the goods or come up short on the storyline where you just don't care about completing it

I'm on, like, the second last mission for Gears of War and have been for about 6 months. I find the game really fun, but I just don't give a shit what happens hahah

I mean, I even finished Kane and Lynch ffs.

Call of Duty 4 I really just didn't like. I only got to that mission where you first use greenvision and was just totally put off the whole game; it had thus failed to impress. (note: I say greenvision because it is NOT nightvision. It just turns everything green)

Have you tried out Lost Odyssey on xbox360?

I have an unhealthy obsession with that game. That is very very story driven, and the plot is actually pretty good compared to the vast numbers of games churned out these days

I understand arguments that every now and again the fighting can seem repetative, but if you haven't played it before maybe you could check it out.

I tend to have a lot of games on the go at once, but I will focus on one till it is completed. Take now for instance, Ive got Okami, Mass Effect, Lost Odyessy, Forza 2 and GT5P started but when I was about to start playing through them GTA4 came out and ive played that for about 20 hours since I got it.

I also get bored easily. It takes me a long time to finish a game, because I will play it hardcore for a few days, then not touch it for a month.

I guess I'm fickle...

I'm in the same boat.

I buy games faster than I can beat them and I swap them back and forth like slutty 10x quintuplet's.... Last game I played that I actually sat down and never touched another game was Uncharted.

Still haven't beaten Bioshock fucking Atlas is Fontain bullshit, thanks..lol

Search the forums. I think I started a huge thread about just this. I had gamer ADD for awhile. I used to buy something new before I was even halfway through with a game. I think it has largely to do with unlimited funds (I mean from when I was a kid at least lol) to the sheer amount of games out there now.

Rotate your game selection but stick to 4 or 5 until you beat 'em and don't add anything new to your library. Or join Gamefly and feed your ADD ways.
