I have found that my urge to game has gone down drastically in the past few years, more specifically, my urge to stick to a game to completion. Roughly 75% of my GC games are no where near completion. The number is better for my Wii games, where 50% aren't done.

I can understand why this is for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I've focused a lot more on my degree and thesis in the past couple of years. Secondly, there has been a drastic rise in my MMORPG playing (specifically WoW) which is sort of a parasite for game playing time, as I play hours on end playing, even though I can never really complete the game. These two things combine to take away from my console gaming times, and I find that if I've been away from a game for a long period of time, I can't get back into the storyline and game play, so I stop playing the game altogether.

The only thing I can do is putt away at the console games slowly, and hope that I can catch up on some of my older games.
