I think I am feeling a bit burnt out. Like I am over-gaming.

By Tuesday I hope to have my second playthroughs of both Mass Effects finished.

I am also very close to finishing Bioshock, only needing four more achievements, which I have two seperate playthroughs going, for these. One is on the hardest difficulty, with the vita chambers turned off. This should get me two achievements, while the easy playthrough is for collecting audio diaries and tonics. I wanted to get this done by Tuesday, as well, because Bioshock 2 is out then, and I will probably be busy playing that.

I am also playing through L4D2 with some friends, working on finishing the campaigns on Expert. Only got a few more to do, plus do one with Realism on.

I may try and push L4D2 and Mass Effects to after Bioshock 2 is finished, to give myself some leway, and time.

I am just feeling really burnt out. I think when I am done with these, I may take a small break. Gaming is a part of my life in a big way, but occasionally I just feel tired and burnt out. It's not good that this happend so early in the year, especially with all the upcoming releases. Or maybe its a blessing is disguise? Maybe I won't burn out later if it happens now.

Oh, shit, I also have Bayonetta to play, which I have been doing off and on. This I have no problem pushing, I am barely into it (time wise, story wise), but the gameplay is addicting.

I should be able to get some rest tomorrow during the Super Bowl, at least. I do seriously feel burnt out, though.

    In response to my own post, I have decided to get the last four Bioshock achievements later on down the road. I am sure I won't get all of them in Bioshock 2, either. However, thats not the point, and I sometimes forget that.

    I'm not one of those people that has to have every achievement to make himself feel important. In fact, I hate the achievement system because it sometimes blinds people to the actual fun of playing a game and not doing it for some secondary reason.

    I will finish my second ME and ME2 playthroughs, because I fucking want to, achievements be damned.

    Although, occasionally going for one shouldn't be such a bad thing. I am, afterall, just trying to keep up with a lot of my friends (Some of whom, unfortunately, happen to be the type of douchebags that laugh at your for not having shit 100% done).

    This is also caused by the fact that Bioshock on Hard, without dying, is fucking killing me, not to mention I came to the realization that my Tonic/Audio Diary game is fucked because I missed a few diaries, and used too much Adam on some plasmids.


    Fuck it, Bisohock 2 tuesday. Probably take a break from gaming until then, or maybe go play a handheld (havn't touched one in awhile, and I feel the call of Pokemon).

    Dustin, I know what you mean.. I really do enjoy the games that are out but lately I just feel they are VERY repetitive I dont even want to finish darksiders since its not really that fun anymore.. I got a few DS games and been ordering netflix movies instead of playing the games I normally play....

    Maybe you need to be more social (in a good way) with the multi player games IE battlefield 2 when it comes out

    Thats why I am excited for Bioshock 2, since it incorperates multiplayer.

    To be honest, I was waiting for the screen tearing patch to keep playing Darksiders, but I might just drop it. Not that I hated it or anything, but just like Dante's Inferno, it's LIKE GOD OF WAR. It seems redundant playing a game like God of War, when God of War III is coming out in a month.

    This is how I feel about WoW right now - all I do is pvp lately because I've run so many random dungeons that I'm sick and tired of 'em all. But alas, the damn 360's on the fritz so I can't hop online and play MW, Halo 3 or anything... fucking seXbox.

    Too much can definitely kill it for you for a while, but you will always come back to your true love of gaming. <3

    Bioshock 2 was just what I need to reinvigorate myself. Once I finish it, I still have a lot of stuff to place throughout the rest of this month. Although I will probably take small breaks throughout, so as not to overdo things.

    Plus, got Anime to watch. :D
