    i kind of went nuts in the last month:

    Dragon Age: played 1 hour
    Baldur's Gate... 2 hours
    Legend of Grimrock 1.... 10 hours
    Democracy 3.... 1 hour... I might not be smart enough for this game
    WoW..... Tons of hours
    Diablo 3..... 4 hours.

    But a whole bunch of iOS games, that I play before bed.... Another 20 hours.... Loving SimCity BuildIt.....not buying any IAP from EA. I do buy some IAP, though.... Just not EA.

    The economy of time, these days I try to only buy what I'll play and typically play through until completion unless a primarily MP orientated game.

    I enjoy more the less I have to play. A single good solid meal as opposed to glut of junk food.

    So many games, so little time! Like a Las Vegas buffet! Eat as much as you can now and deal with it later! That's what I do!

    My PSVita will arrive sometime during this month and I'm getting what I'd call an 'must get' list but also Bloodborne is getting out, then Payday 2: Crimeware Edition, Uncharted 4, and then MGS V, then add that my girlfriend just got a Wii U, and on top add a big iOS backlog with some RPGs and then you get a busy, nonetheless happy Outlander all the year. :D

    Papa Deuce - you are a funny guy.

    Dont sweat the small stuff, enjoy your games. Gaming is like dollars - there are always more out there than you will ever have. Have fun, play stuff you like, dont waste time on things you dont like. Being a gamer for many years (about 40), i used to be able to keep up. I gave up about 5 years ago when ios started becoming popular. I have literally spent hundreds of dollars on games that i have never, and will never play. Oh well. I take heart in the Hello dolly line of " money is like manure".

    Dragon Age Inquisitions is an excellent game - worth more than a 1 hour of investment. Put in 10 hours and if you dont like it - quit. I was hooked about 7 hours in.

    But, there is more to life than gaming. Unfortunately, playing games has no lasting value. Reading books, advancing a hobby, improving or starting new relationships are ultimately probably more worthwhile, but humans are naturally self absorbed and selfish, so gaming probably fulfills some inner need of self - so game on, as long as your world is wider than just gaming, and judging from other posts, it is. Guilt can be motivating, shame is destructive : find some balance and accept who you are.

    Don't forget to tell him that'll be $100 for the therapy session! I can do that too, but I can also prescribe Meds!! ;)

    Pluto, you and I must be very close in age.

    Part of me feels like I am too old to still be gaming, and the other part buys the games to prove the first part wrong.
