gaming....
13 years ago
I am starting to get tired of playing video games. There are very specific reasons.
too many systems: I have a wii, ps2, ps3, xbox 360, and a regular xbox, and I only use my ps3 most of the time (albeit my xbox is clunky since I did steal it from my nephew). Most games for other systems are boring, and if it's for the 360 I can just buy it for the ps3 for the same price at no difference!
Online gaming: This seems to be the only thing people want now. I remember back when multiplayer for games meant being able to hear the nervous breathing of the guy you were beating horribly (not that I have had that happen <.<) Now a days every game has online gaming, even RPG-ish games like Mass effect 3! And what the heck is with having to download the 'online pass'? Isn't owning the game proof enough? My internet sucks so doing online gaming is a no go
system updates: this is mainly for the PS3 system, but they are needed for other systems eventually. My internet really really sucks so I cannot do system updates effectively (a system update for a PS3 would take like 16 hours for my ps3 and my mom would be using the internet and so in truth it would take like 1 to 2 days)
also it seems each game for the PS3 I play DEMANDS I update it's software. It never stops nagging me about it even if I never played the game before. A big friggin example is the elder scrolls V: Skyrim. I played it around december, and THen back in march I tried to play it, and it said I needed to update my whole PS3 system!!!!
So in conclusion... Anyone want to play magic the gathering or munchkin with me (if you can think of a better game insert it)

Also, I share a few of the frustrations as you do regarding video games. If I do play any, its usually on my PS2, and I usually either play certain multiplayer ones that my friends like (when they come over and visit), or I play oldschool games start to finish. Like right now, I'm playing the whole oldschool Megaman game series (minus 9 and 10). Just about done with 6, and moving onto 7. After I finish that and 8, I might play something like Final Fantasy 6, just because I'm starting to forget some stuff from it...
I'm afraid I don't have much experience with computerized tabletop RPs, though.
