Have you considered quitting gaming?


Posted on 12/06/2014 at 10:31 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I've considered giving up gaming as well. I took a month long break and I feel like that invigorated me somewhat: http://plus10damage.com/blog/2014/7/4/my-break-from-gaming

 I feel it's something every one experiences at one time or another, and when you're constantly exposed to something, burnout is inevitable. Maybe try taking a small break rather than quitting all together. Or even better, do what I've started doing: limit the amount of time you play games each week. Cut back. It helps keep your passion alive whilst simultaneously making you more productive. A win/win imo.

 Whatever the case is, it would be sad to see you go. Even if you do end up going on haiatus, please do drop in from time to time.

I think the first is better, but that's mainly because it's short and never outstays its welcome. The second game has those annoying sections where you're not really solving puzzles and just looking for a wall to shoot.

 Also, Still Alive is still the greatest song in video games.

Damn it I missed it!

I like free, but... and other bits and pieces

Okay I'm seriously going to have to try those deep sleep games. What platform are they on?

Also, I like that model. Getting the first part free and then deciding if you like the rest enough to pay for it is a good idea IMO. Too bad the game was shit.

Don't worry, Dream Theater is very hit or miss for me.

No his point was more about people trying to find deeper meaning in things when the artist didn't intend there to be so, not that songs shouldn't have meaning. A simple song is not an existentialist attack on homosexuality or whatever haha.

Glad you like MoTW though :)

Riverside is great, although their new album is straight up 70's prog rock. Usually I'd dig that, but every prog metal band is doing that at the moment and it's fucking irritating.

He'll be in there don't you worry. I almost put Juular as my "progressive Black Metal" song aha.

Haha. I'm doing prog next time because Mothman got in first. But I will do Thrash after that.

It depends. They do melodic death metal too, but some of their later stuff has veered on the side of metalcore. 

 Thrash is a good choice :)
