Re: 5 Ways to Tell You're Getting too Old for Video Games
Huh, I thought being too damn tired at the end of the day would be one of them. I'm not too tired to eff around on the web but mentally got no energy for gaming most nights.

I think the simple fact of the matter is being exposed to a medium for such a long time, you're bound to be less enthused.

sort of how I've felt lately actually. I think I overloaded myself to a point of saturation. I just feel burnt out I guess.RyaNtheSlayA wrote:I think the simple fact of the matter is being exposed to a medium for such a long time, you're bound to be less enthused.

It's completely normal, it happens to me quite a bit actually. It's best to just give yourself a week of being game-free.noiseredux wrote:sort of how I've felt lately actually.

Re: 5 Ways to Tell You're Getting too Old for Video Games
i feel burnt out myself recently from fighting games. when i feel burnt out on that genre i tend to get worst because of lack of motivation. went back to playing RPG and enjoying every gameplay of it. it's a nice relief i don't have to push down, foward and punch to beat somebody.noiseredux wrote:sort of how I've felt lately actually.
