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.

Contest For Rift: Planes of Telara Beta Invitation Key

Rift: Planes of Telara Beta Invitation from PAX
It is time for my first contest after returning from PAX.  I am so excited about the Rift: Planes of Telara that I will be giving away one of the beta invitation keys this week to the winner.  I will randomly pick a winner live on Ustream on Friday afternoon.  These keys are not a guaranteed beta testing invite, but it definitely helps your chances of being chosen once it starts.

I am making the contest pretty simple.  Each item completed gives you an extra chance of winning the beta key.  The more you complete the more chances you have of winning.  In the comment section list any items you have completed with links to screenshots, URL's, or however you want to prove you did it.

My Blogger BFF

Week after week one particular Warhammer Blogger brings me tons of traffic.  I am not talking a few referrals.  I am talking quite an impressive amount.

It is time for me to show my appreciation for his blog.  So who is sending me all this traffic?  The blogger who sends me the most traffic consistently is Bootae.  Yes, if you don't know who he is than I suggest you check out his bloody blog.

Bootae is one of my favorite Warhammer Online bloggers.  I always enjoy his posts, videos, and his interactivity on Twitter.

Speaking of great videos you need to check out his new Kill Frenzy Fried Chicken video.  If it doesn't make you smile than nothing will.



Once again Bootae thanks for all the traffic.
