I think I've got to the point this generation where I'm somewhat bored with it. I still haven't played SMG2, NMH2 and God knows what else that I was very much looking forward to before, and I don't really care. Hell, what about GT5? I have a steering wheel for the damn thing, but have no desire to buy the actual game.

This might be understandable given that we're right at the end of the generation, but all these rumours about Wii 2 and what not are doing nothing for me. I read them and all I can think is meh. I have no interest whatsoever. Same goes for the 3DS. Battlefield 3? The videos were mind numbingly boring, and didn't really look all that great anyway. Certainly not as good as mind blowing as Crysis was way back when. On top of that Crysis was something special in terms of gameplay. There's nothing to show that this will be the same.

I found Mafia 2 for $15, but instead it doesn't seem worth the money or effort. Maybe this is just to help me get through my backlog, yet out of nowhere I want to buy Ridge Racer Type-4 (FU haters) and I really should get the MGS remake before it becomes anymore more expensive. Oh, and random Russian adventure games? Yes, yes, I want them. Throw in Rule of Rose while you're at it.

WTF.

Since I love this generation (but for the hardware) I want it to go on forever.

But as of this morning I am officially bored of gaming.  Not being able to beat Killzone 2 (yet) has put me in a deep funk.  I am finding solace in the meaningless grind of Dragon Quest 6.

When I get like this it's one of the key indicators of depression.

1. When was the last time you beat a game? (over a week)

2. How many games have you put in and out of a console in that time? (over 15)

3. How many of those games did you enjoy? (zero).

I think this week it's been a little worse because everyone is excited about Mortal Kombat and Portal 2, and I just can't make myself care.  (Never got into fighters, liked Portal 1, beat it, but didn't see what the fuss was about). I'm also not excited about the next Wii, NGP or 3DS.  The NGP and 3DS will destroy hand-held games the way I like them and I'm not going to get hyped about the Nintendo console until they announce it.

So the way I feel this week is how I imagine it would be like to be a recovering alcoholic at a party.  Everyone else is having fun, and I just want to get out of there.

SMG2 was my GOTY last year, so maybe you shouldn't play it. I don't want to listen to you shit all over it on the podcast.

What are you playing now anyway, (besides having just completed MEGUCUP)?
