Finding Time To Play Games

How many hours do you play games a day?  Do you wish it was more?  Do you find the older you get the less time you seem to have to play games?  How do you decide which games to play when you do find the time?

I seem to spend more time trying to decide which game to play now than I do actually playing.  Since taking a break from MMORPG's it feels like I never have enough time to play all the games I have.  I am playing so many types of games that I am making little progress in any of them.

I am not used to this.  I usually devote all my time to one MMORPG, and don't touch any other games. I used to sit at my computer for hours playing EQ, DAOC, WOW, WAR and so on.  I could easily spend 5-10 hours a day playing, and not even blink an eye.

My gaming attention span these days seems much shorter.  After an hour or so I am ready to do something else.  It isn't always playing another game either.  Yesterday I spent most of my day watching college football.  In the past I would have put gaming before anything else.

I don't feel like I have lost my passion for gaming at all.  I still love games.  I have about ten games right now I am playing.  It feels like I am two timing, and not giving each game my full attention, and time.  It actually makes me feel bad sometimes when I neglect some game that is actually fun.

I think I blame myself for opening my world up to more genres of gaming.  Other games never interested me much unless it was a new MMORPG.  Every day now it seems I want to buy a new game, and play it.  Will I ever finish the games I started?
