You know, I've been saying I don't have a huge backlog, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure if the percentage of games I've actually completed out of what I own is as high as I thought ... this may just become a blog. lol
But, basically, for the most part, I'm a completist in that I feel the need to at least beat the games I own to get my money's worth. But then when a game ends up being too frustrating, I feel I get nothing accomplished, cause the thing I paid for isn't fun, and I should probably just go outside and cool down. Then when the urge to play the game again creeps up, it makes the challenge fun again, after I've had some time away.
I think I've convinced myself my backlog isn't that huge by not counting anything that stopped being fun (also, sports titles you don't really "complete"), because I feel it's the game's fault at that point and not mine.
In any case, I think I might just plug the N64 in today, and if it works, try once again to get all the masks in Majora's Mask so I can feel I've really completed the game when I fight the final boss, who I've been able to fight for years, but refuse to until I collect all the masks. And, if it ends up feeling like a chore again, I'll reconvince myself not to count it. lol
