Going forward I hope to update this blog daily with whatever I'm doing, eating, playing, etc...
I traded away Just Cause 2 recently because it became my go to game crack. I would turn a podcast on and play Jc2 for hours. It became an addiction, I couldn't play other games I knew I should have been playing. I've had the God of War Collection for months and with God of War 3 recent release I knew I should be playing that in preparation but I would quit after a little bit and go back to Just Cause 2. I imagine this isn't uncommon. My friends list is peppered with people that play the same game over and over, every single night. But when I burnout on games I try to take that opportunity to move away from that game and play something else.
Before I was addicted to mostly multiplayer first person shooters. CoD4, Killzone 2 and then MAG. This meant all those 'friends' would be now shunned. I'm not going to get trapped playing the same games forever just because a bunch of people I met online wont try new games. Every new gamecrack would bring a new batch of crackhead friends. Luckily Just Cause 2 was a single player game so journey was solo, no messy break up.
Surprisingly unlike other addictions going back to old gamecrack would not result in relapse, but just a 'meh' feeling. Like meeting an old lover that your just not into anymore, when it's over, it's over.
Unfortunately I rebounded into the bitchy hands of Assassins Creed 2. I hate it, so far, but that might be a good thing.
I made Cucumber Chicken Salad today also. It was good.
