Gaming Rut Syndrome

These last few weeks I have definitely been hit hard by the Gaming Rut Syndrome.  I will call it GRS from now on.  No matter what game I play, or download it just doesn't keep my interest for more than thirty minutes.

I think it may be actually PAX GRS.  A week before PAX I could feel it coming on.  I was excited about seeing all these new games at PAX.  I barely got my Archmage to 40 before deciding to take a short break from the game.  Originally it was just going to be for a week or so.

The problem is GRS is all consuming.  After going to PAX it just made everything else seem unimportant.  I just want to play all the new games I saw.  Unfortunately most of them I may not even get to play even next year even though most of them promised a 2011 release.

GRS has hit me hard.  I can't play another minute of Warhammer Online until either patch 1.4 or the RvR packs.  It just seems pointless until the new mechanics get in the game.

I played Lego Universe beta, and it was fun for about a week, and now I have lost interest in it to.  I swear GRS is a real disease it seems.

I have tried playing Global Agenda.  The game was a blast the first few nights, but nothing made me want to keep logging in every day.

I tried EvE, and even after listening to alot of convincing chat on Twitter I was to overwhelmed with everything in the game.  I really think the game is right down my alley, but I just felt to much like a noob, and ragequit after the tutorial.

My next adventure was to download my old love DAOC.  It wasn't even close to how awesome I remember it being.  It seemed so 1980, and clunky I just couldn't play it past the tutorial.

Why am I suffering from this Gaming Rut Syndrome?  Why are no games keeping me even slightly interested?  Is GRS that powerful that it controls my mind?

Anyways I am not sure what to do these days.  I am bored, and I definitely need some game to play.  The problem is my list keeps growing larger and larger of games I have tried, and didn't like.

I forgot some others I have bought recently, and once again I played them once.  It was Blood Bowl, DAO, LOTRO, DND, and so on.  I really am running out of options. 

Does Warhammer really have that much control over me?  I swear the game pisses me off more than it makes me happy most of the time, but I just can't shake it.  I keep going back to it like a cigarette habit.

I guess we will have to see if Rift, Tera, GW2, Firefall or SWTOR ends up finally setting me free from GRS, or some other game.
