Jaded...

Well, halfway through February is a pretty poor start to my New Year's Resolution of keeping this blog updated more frequently than last year :(

I don't know if its a case of feeling like I have nothing worthwhile to say, or just feeling a little jaded by my online gaming selections? My main game got some serious attention through January, with alot of effort being put into actually accomplishing stuff ingame, PvPing as much as I could and actually recruiting new players into the guild? Other titles have received much less attention but have also been incredibly unsatisfying, to the point of actually irritating me within 15 - 20mins.......

I guess everyone goes through these times of being a little "burnt-out" by certain aspects of their life. I know various online friends of mine have coma and gone from the various games, citing boredom or RL pressures/commitments. I suppose its just my "turn" to get this? The thing that bothers me though is that I almost feel guilty for feeling this way. That I am, in some odd way, letting my friends and guildmates down by not being in-game?

I actually re-subbed an old account on another game in order to try and invigorate myself, making the assumption that it was the just my regular game that was the issue. I started a new character from scratch, levelled up fairly fast, made some money and even joined a guild. The guild seems like a nice group a people but I find that I have no great desire to game with them or even chat? The whole experience just wasnt that great...

So, I made a conscious decision to snap out of my grey mood and get back to some proper gaming with the guys!!  Things didn't go that easy though and the world seems to be conspiring to keep me away from my PC entirely. Evening visits from old friends, working later than usual, power cuts and social obligations have all curtailed my triumphant return to my mistress...... ahem, I mean online game :D

Hmm, I feel a Chinese takeaway and some serious game-time may be on the cards for tonight.......
