My problem is too many choices.

I'm in this group as well. In addition to finding the necessary time to play while not risking losing significant amounts of sleep (i.e. Civ Revolution).

Gaming should always be an impulsive hobby not a scheduled one. Sometimes just having the variety makes you appreciate a small handful you continue to play even more because you chose to stick with the familiar, not forced to by lack of choice. Also if you can't find the time to game, hopefully that means you have more important or fulfilling activities to occupy your time. Let gaming fill in the cracks like alternative to TV time, rainy/cold days and late night insomnia fixes, let real life have the primetime hours.

If you have 1000 games, in ten years you should be able to find the time to beat them all. Twenty years, thirty years or more even better. I've been gaming for 25 or so myself, so another 25 years doesn't seem a far stretch to me. How many times does a person watch all their favorite movies or listen to every LP/Cassette/CD/MP3 they own? You shouldn't feel the need to play constantly regardless of how many games you have.

I can't play constantly. My brain begins to melt after about 10-13 hours in front of a screen. I completely agree with you though, Tan.

PS: I have watched the first bttf movie at least 40 times: 40 times about 2 hours = 80 hours of "Marty! The flux dispersal will... LOOKOUT!"

PPS: I have almost the entire Back to the Future trilogy script memorized, dead serious.  Tongue Grin

I get that felling alot after playing an addicting game and beating it.  I have so many games I havent beaten and I don't know which to play next and I just don't feel like deciding.

But I have many other hobbies like playing music, making movies, and reading so it doesn't bother me

I had a day like that just yesterday, I usually just take a day off from gaming and do something else.
