Oh, there are some nights when I honestly would rather crash in front of the television, or perhaps go see a movie, but I don't ever see myself abandoning the playing of games.<BR/><BR/>Now, all of the other game-related activities -- writing reviews & session reports, browsing game related forums, etc. -- I have cut back on that a bit, particularly the browsing part. It is simply a matter of time and giving attention to other facets of my life.Greg J.

My interest in certain types of gaming, or having the opportunity to play certain types of games, has changed over the years, and may change more in the future, but I don't expect to ever "burn out" on gaming. My wife and I played games even before we were married, almost 43 years ago, and we've been playing different games since then. When our children came along, the type of gaming we did underwent a significant change, and developed as they grew up. When our daughter got married and had children, our gaming style changed again, with our grandchildren. When we discovered Eurogames, it changed. Now, our son has a steady girlfriend who enjoys gaming, and our grandchildren will soon be 9 and 11 years old, so the gaming scene for us continues to change. In the past year, I did my first online gaming, but my interest in that has already lessened. I can only wonder what gaming style changes I will encounter in the future, but I'm virtually certain I'll still be playing games of some kind for as long as I'm alive.Gerald McDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032201828179314072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1165185916144591872006-12-03T14:45:00.000-08:002006-12-03T14:45:00.000-08:00Work burnout, blogging burnout, Britney Spears bur...Work burnout, blogging burnout, Britney Spears burnout, Tom Cruise burnout, reality TV burnout, Lost burnout, Christmas burnout, exercise burnout, family burnout, internet burnout... but <B>Game burnout</B>?<BR/><BR/>That would be akin to nap burnout, or dare I say... sex burnout.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like some new-age nonsense to me.Coldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636345146138362966noreply@blogger.com
