Urge to game...fading

The same thing happened to me a couple years back. I played WoW way too much and I lost all ambition to play any games. I was worried that I had "out grown" video games (if such a thing could happen..). But after a while I slowly got back into it. Although my drive to play is not as strong as it was way back when, I now find it more satisfying when I accomplish something in a game.

So right now, I'm trying to moderate the amount of video games I play lest I get burned out on them again and perhaps not recover from it.

Wait, I've figured why I'm going so strong, then. I never play MMOs. Except Phantasy Star Online and Universe, but those aren't even MMO's. Sure I dicked around with WoW for a week, but I hated it.

MMOs have this almost endless replayability, and since you're playing with other people and not by yourself it kinda enchances that. When I have friends over I can whip out almost anything and have fun with them, but when I'm alone playing something, after 30 minutes its just like.. meh.

I'm not as hardcore as I once was either, kinda like gekko. I didn't even know or care that GTA4 came out when it did. But I did end up getting it for Ps3 and love it.. Only thing I've really been following though, is MGS4, since its a continuation of my favorite solo game.

Someone is in denial.

Well, if anything, I certainly didn't play them like people play MMOs.
