Yup, it happens to me every day. I'm in the middle of around.... 287 games right now because of it.

I have this all the time too, very annoying actually... Don't have much time to play anyway but when I get a minute and want to play, get that feeling... and I know I can spend time playing but I don't and it gets even worse...

I get this feeling a lot. Even when I was on vacation for the last couple of weeks, I still felt that way. Maybe it comes with having a large collection, or, maybe it comes with having too much on my plate (other responsibilities and urges with other hobbies)? Or maybe I am just getting old. Been playing games consistently for a good majority of my life, so maybe it's a sign of burnout.

what the hell people?!?! You need gamertherapy, Nightowlrjm this is how you get over that block:

I know exactly what feeling that it feels like to have a proliferation of games and systems, and yet have no desire to play them..or to choose a game that *was* fun years ago yet seems so dinky and silly now....so you just have to say to yourself that certain games that are like that are really good for practice. Practice on your 8 bit games will challenge your mind and your reflexes so that when you play more complex games on a newer system, its more fun and you die less!

Be open to the ''feeling'' of wanting to play, and go for it! Even if its just for 10 minutes. dont beat yourself up for it or ask ''whats it all for?''..Youre a gamer at heart and you love nintendo, so spend some time lovin' your NES and it will love you back


I switch between my NES, SNES and PS2 - I have different kinds of games for different moods that I am in. Right now, i have Bionic Commando in my NES, Super Metroid in my SNES, and Shadow of the Colossus in my PS2.. plus i have other games for these systems that allows me to play any kind of game.

I usually leave my game TV on and have at least one system on at all times - my PS2 .. Since I camp out here on the couch at night, I can just turn the TV on and press the start button to unpause my game, then have some fun for a few minutes, put it down and come back to it when I get in the mood again.

Im sure that some of you went through this same thing when you were much younger. I know that I did.. my brother and I had 20+ games for our nes, 10 games for the SNES, atari and also a gameboy.. and there were times during the summer that I would get bored with trying to beat ninja gaiden or mike tyson punch out,....at that point, i would pop in my RPG game to totally change up my style and to ''grind'' levels, or complete a quest.

Easy enough to do when you have a handful of games. When your collection spans 30 consoles and well over 3000 titles, sometimes it's a bit difficult to decide what you feel like playing. Just throwing that out there.
