    Default First World Gaming Problems

    What's your biggest first world gaming problem? For example mine is on Far Cry 3 I didn't want to advance the storyline just yet but because I've got $10,000 cash and a pack half full of loot to sell I have no other choice!

    My computer and consoles/TV are on opposite sides of the room so it's a pain if I want to play the latter while still using the former.

    Currently living with a couple of which the lady does nothing else but play Call of Duty. Get home at 6PM, she's playing. Go to bed at 11PM, still playing. It's getting on my nerves!

    They're making newer and better consoles that I could afford but I don't want to buy because I'm happy with things they are and I wish they'd all just stop and make this gen the last.

    GTAV is coming before the next gen of consoles and not being released on PC (yet) so I had to pre-order it for PS3 and that means I'll end up buying another copy of the same game for either next gen consoles or PC.

    Some people would say get a laptop. Those people are wrong and will never understand why. I'd personally re-organize so I could have my TV next to my monitor, but space may be an issue.

    I've played all the PS3 games I wanted to play. Thankfully EoFF gave me some good suggestions of gems I may have overlooked.

    I also have too many games on 3DS to play.

    Last time I was unemployed all I played was WoW. What a waste. I could've played all sorts of other games.

    It seems I never get a chance to finish games anymore. There are three reasons for this:
    1) New game comes out. I must buy this and play it immediately. Might even finish it.
    2) Feeling nostalgic and some game from 2-3 generations ago gets yet another run.
    3) Something in real life happened to one of the players simulated in a sports game I have. I have to adjust my team accordingly.
