A journey at it’s end?

April is here and it’s time for a little update.

I was reflecting yesterday when I had the afternoon to myself (for a change). There were no distractions to speak of so I had the chance to do whatever I wanted. I sat on my bed and contemplated switching on my PS3 or maybe even the Wii. Better yet what about grabbing a couple hours of WoW…

Then it hit me I didn’t really want to play anything. I was confused, as usually I am clamoring for an opportunity to grab a game of something, anything.

I skimmed through my list of PS3 games, nothing interested me in the slightest. The Wii required too much energy to play, more than I was prepared to expend. WoW has just become too repetitive for me to enjoy it like I used to. Still being a little confused I didn’t know what to make of the situtation. Had I finally grown out of playing video games? Or was this a case of having too much choice.

I must say I have noticed recently the desire to power up either of my consoles just hasn’t been there. I am much more inclined to watch tv, read or more importantly sleep. I am actually at the stage where I would like to sell my PS3 as I simply don’t use it often enough to justify having it. The Wii I will definately keep because, well it’s Nintendo. 

Although I have gone through phases like this before, this is definately the longest it has gone on for. Maybe it’s time for me to face to truth and accept console gaming just doesn’t have the same appeal as it used to.
