TheSixthAxis: 'Every once in a while I lose faith in gaming. There isn't any particular reason, I can only assume it's because I'm male and, as a result of my penis, have a fear of commitment to anything. When I say 'lose faith' I don't mean 'fuck the industry', I mean more like 'what in the point of this?'.
Have you ever considered your gaming habit – I mean really considered it? Let me outline it for you.'
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.

I've questioned why ive spent all the hours ive put into gaming, but then i thought "what the hell else do i have to do, work...fvck that". It is a money consuming hobby but most are, if you really only play a game maybe once or twice then you should be renting games and not buying them. Usually I only buy gasmes right when they come out if they have great multiplayer or it is something i just cant wait to get my hands on (GoW3).
I too sort of lost that spark that I used to have in my tweeny days. I remember always buying games day 1 very anxious of playing the game in one full session. I just recently bought KZ2 and I've only played 2 levels. That was like a month ago. I don't know why really. Guess I found other finer things in life than staring at a TV screen all day.
This can be said about anything. How often do you read the same book more than once or watch the same movie more than 3 times. Even buying a new car that you love you'll end up just thinking its a car in a few weeks, the novelty wears off and the feeling of i've already done/seen this sets in. That's what gives multiplayer its replay value cause of humans unpredictability you never for sure know the outcome. Not saying playing the single player over is pointless/boring, but nothing can beat the nostalgia of the first time you played through it or achieved something.
I started gaming in the mid 80's and up till High School I maintained a constant enjoyment of various genres of games. I bought all the new systems on Day1 and anxiously waited outside stores for the newest games.
Now I'm in my late 20's and I pretty much only engage in RPGs when it comes to consoles and FPS/RTS for PC.
I have a problem, I buy too many games :( help meeee pleaseee keeel meeeeee
