No, I do not mean that there will be a lack of games coming out in the future, I mean that I have lost my interest in gaming once again. This happens to me every once in a while after I have had a good run with a really good game(s). The games this time being FFX, Gears of War, and Guitar Hero 2. At first when I noticed my gaming life slow down, I thought I would regain it because I was watching Death Note at an extremely fast pace at the time(episodes 27-37 in one day :o). But after finishing Death Note, it just didn't happen and I moved onto Air, which was a great anime BTW.

So here is how it goes down. I have lost my interest in Gears of War. One of the best online experiences that I have ever has now stopped. After I came back from Ohio, I started to distance myself from the game and now I have not played in over a week. To all of my XBL friends wondering where I have been on Gears...I have stopped. Maybe this is for the best though. As I found myself having an unhealthy attraction to playing the game. With classes starting up, this probably works out just fine for me. This is my farewell to Gears. I end my career of Execution Ranked matches at a rank of about 53,000 worldwide. It was fun while it lasted, but if I play now it will be player matches and I won't be playing seriously(AKA crabwalking!).

The next game that I was going to fall back on was Guitar Hero II. However I can no longer do that. Why? It was murdered by a certain GameSpot user who shall remain nameless *cough*FATESTAYNIGHT*wheeze*AKA ROFLPWNED *choke*AKA THEGUYWHO'S360PUTSMASSIVERINGSONYOURDISK.

OH THE HORROR!!!!!!! You did not want to be next to me when I saw that...

So I let him borrow my GHII game and controller for the duration that I was in Ohio..When I came back I didn't immediately check if the disk was alright. I actually just checked it today and was speechless to see what the disk looked like...So it doesn't work anymore. Campaign mode can't be accessed and I get slowdown all the time...GHII is dead.

With these games gone, my interest in gaming has diminished greatly. I can see a repeat of the past and having an immense gaming drought. I am currently playing Xenosaga in hopes that it can keep the gamer flame inside of me burning, but as it is going now, I do not think it will have as significant of an impact as Final Fantasy 10 did. This is still kind of abrupt to me so it is taking some time to sink in, but sooner or later, you will see that my gaming time has gone down significantly. Well, since the summer is ending, I guess it is only right that this happens and I should be grateful to have broken an addiction before classes start up again.

Until next time....(I also noticed that blog #50 is coming up...expect a big list of thank you's to all who have been with me and contributed to my blog)
