So much vidya, not enough time…
As you have no doubt noticed by now by the sudden drop in activity on the blog… I’ve been very busy and have ended up neglecting this place. However, that’s not the main issue here… it’s the fact that I haven’t been able to find time to play video games lately!
Of course, not having the time to do a lot of the stuff you want to do occurs to everyone at some point in their life and there are times when people have sacrificed doing something they love to make way for other “more important” things… well that’s all well and good for other people, but video games are very important to me and the only way I’m going to give it up is when I’m dead… and even then I’ll claw back from the grave and haunt someone who has video games so they can run away in fear and I can then usurp their vidya…
So the question is… would you give up video games if it really came down to it? And if so, what would be the event in your life that would persuade you to take such drastic action? On the other hand… if you would refuse to give up video games yet but still struggle with the lack of time and growing number of games to be played/bought, how would you manage it?
The thing that is sucking up my time at the moment is university work, and though I do get a break in the middle of the week from classes, I still have to read the text books and do uni related stuff at home which ends up tiring me out… bleah. I bought Sin and Punishment: Successor to the Skies not long ago but could only find about an hour to play it the other day… and let’s not even go into my neglect of Super Mario Galaxy 2 and a long list of 360 games I should’ve BOUGHT by now!
I hope things don’t get worse because I just won’t be able to handle that much time away from video games…

I'm somewhat in the same boat, my only problem is i have bought so many games that i haven't even beaten yet, and i still buy more from time to time.
let's take my recent purchase for an example. Star Ocean for ps3. I've only gotten to the Earth from the past, and I've had the game for over a month.
How about all the final fantasy games. I have just about all of them, and yet i've only played and beat one, six, seven, ten, and thirteen.
i'm going to wait until retirement, then that's all i'm probably going to do. maybe i'll beat the games i haven't touched/played much yet
I got:
StarCraft II
MineCraft (ZING)
Chrono Trigger (wanted to actually play it and beat it)
Natural Selection
Natural Selection 2 (when it'll become something more then a steaming pile of crap)
Star Trek Online
Team Fortress 2
Quake 1 Team Fortress (on sundays)
<insert random game here when I feel like playing it>
I wonder if I can get him to get a picture of all his crap, and maybe upload it somewhere.
Now you know what my life was like back in those days. Uni assignments, office work, all that jazz. Really complicated to manage free time, social life and still get to play games.
i try to play on a regular basis though, when i get back from work. Play for a while till it's time to go to the gym at least. Or when i get back home. Handhelds also help a lot. Can't live without my PSP.
Well, enough for a comment. Catch you later!
