As the week has been unfolding there has been alot going on with my life. School is very demanding and work is well, work. But out of the one of the classes I've been taking (Spanish 1) I gain alot of insight into my gaming habits. She is mildly into Zodiac personalities and kind of assign traits to different signs. Now I think that stuff is total crap, but a few things she has said have kind of "clicked." One of the thing she said about Gemini's (my sign) is that they are easily bored. They don't stick with something for a long time. And this really struck a cord especially with regards to gaming. I started looking at what I had been playing in the last few years. I realized that this trait was totally true. I do get easily bored with games. I haven't finished ninety percent of the game's I own. But I know that I can invest massive amounts of time into one game so maybe it's not quite it. I mean, I spent every possible hour playing X-wing back in the day for months. So what was the problem? Why was it that I didn't bother to finish games? I looked at games that I had finished and I realized why. It actually scared me. What was the reason? I was lazy. This smacked me in the face. Lazy? Come one, we're talking about games here. More and more though, I began to really think this was the case. I knew I was lazy outside of games, here I am playing games instead of cleaning my room etc. and my parent had been hounding me about it for months. But being lazy about games? It just scared me that the laziness "bug" had sunk so deep. As I looked at all the games I had completed, they were mostly all FPS. Call of Duty, Half-Life 1 +2, Riddick etc. All of my strategy/rpg games had fallen by the wayside unfinished. I never beat Starcraft!! For shame!! Why? Because I had to think to finish them. No reflexes, but brain power. This saddened me because I knew I had missed some great times. So I have resolved to attempt to complete all the game I have (that are worthwhile) instead of running out and buying more games. So wish me luck on my journey to renounce laziness (at least concerning games:P)
