I Am So Bored

I took another trip down to the store to look at computer games.  I stood there looking at games forever it seemed.  After looking at hundreds of titles nothing interested me. 

All I see on the shelf are games that are, or going free to play soon.  I see lots of games that are on there last leg.  Why are computer games lacking in new titles? 

I saw all these games like Champions Online, Star Trek Online, Warhammer Online, World of Warcraft, APB, Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online, and many other MMORPG's.  I have to say none of them interest me any longer.

I think maybe I need a new genre to play.  I look at possibly some games I might like.  I know years ago I enjoyed some of the sims games like Sim City, Sim Towers, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and so on.  I feel the same way about these games.  It doesn't really seem like anything new, and exciting has come out for these types of games since I stopped playing them years ago.

I hate all the Age of Empires, Civilization, Command and Conquer games.  I just am not into history.

I keep trying new FPS type games, but one or two days later I end up being bored, and not playing them again.   I have played Team Fortress, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, and more.

I just don't know really what I am looking for.  I think I want some kind of sport game, but I never really see them marketed towards pc gamers.  Should I just buy an xbox, or playstation?

It just seems that the selection for console games is so much better.  I started looking at all the selections to choose from, and they make more than three genres of games.  You can skateboard, box, wrestle, mma, motocross, tennis, and so much more.  I just don't want to fork out money for a console, and a month later find myself wanting to play on my PC again when GW2, or SWTOR comes out.

Star Trek Online Looks Stupid

I have been visiting some other blogs today, and reading all the hype for Star Trek Online from some other bloggers.

I have never been a Star Trek fan. I maybe have watched two or three episodes in my whole life, and have never seen any of the movies.

I can give one Star Trek quote "Beam me up Scotty" even though I have the slightest idea what it even references.

I know one of the guys does Priceline commercials now, but that is about all I know about Star Trek.

I can't imagine going into a game not knowing anything about the races, factions, and the whole lore. I am sure 99% of the players who are buying this game are Star Trek fanatics, and will have a competitive advantage by everything they already know about Star Trek.

On top of that I have seen some screenshots today. The game graphics remind me of Champions Online which I thought were very corny looking.

I could never even imagine playing, or buying this game. I wouldn't even buy it off of Steam the day after Xmas for $5. That is how stupid Star Trek Online looks to me.

My prediction is Star Trek Online fails before 2010 ends.
