Post-Game Blues

Well, I've finished Silent Hill: Origins for the PSP.  I did enjoy it, despite its various glaring flaws, and planned immediately to restart the game and start working on some of the unlockables.  It hit me about five minutes after I started.  What hit me, you ask?

The Post-Game Blues (PGB).

PGB.  This is the name I give that very special form of almost-depression that strikes me after I finish a game that I really enjoyed.  It doesn't happen much these days (which speaks either on my gaming habits, my taste in games, or the quality games today), but when it hits, PGB is quite a bit more intense than when I was  younger.  When deep in the effects of PGB I can be expected to loaf around, going about my daily  activities normally, but basically in a state of confusion as far as gaming is concerned.  I want to play something, but I am unable to focus enough to actually play something.

In the past I beat this by organization as well as getting help from my computer.  I own a copy of Game Collector (basically a database for your game collection), and when I used to get PGB, I would boot it up  and select "Random Game".  This solved my problem instantly.  Now...  things are different.  I'm a parent of two children under 5 and a full time student.  What time I get is usually on my PSP, or on my junky laptop.  I do have CFW installed, so my choices are not as limited as they could be, though.

Is this a common thing among us gamers?  Maybe older gamers, or is it just me?

So I'm an odd ball. So I am usually the last to post on a blog/forum. So I only post about weird games on weird platforms. So I have a strange relationship with commas and parenthesis. So what? Hey, at least you don't have to car pool with me to work, right? So have a heart, eat a blueberry, and don't forget to drop the empties in the box on the way out. I get deposit on those.
