Less and Less Time for Video Games...

I think too much too! Probably not as bad as you, but it keeps me from getting adequate sleep as well.

Well for me it was getting too much into the indie game scene and game design. I would analyze and judge the aspects of design and it wouldn't be about playing anymore. I'd see what it's trying to do and I'd see all the mechanics and I'd see all the flaws and then there wouldn't be anything left. If you're mainly playing fighters, I'm sure it's similar. You've probably played so many fighters that you probably focus too much on how it ticks rather than how it plays.
 
Yeah, that Fatal Frame thing didn't last long. Got bored watching the opening cutscene.

We really need some type of insomniacs club.

Tried working out a little bit. Used to try that in high school when I had trouble sleeping; didn't work then and doesn't work now.

But, yeah, I know I do tend to do that with fighting games nowadays. Think that's part of the reason I just can't get into too many of the newer fighting games. Was actually thinking about popping in some DOA4 and seeing how that does. And I'm getting tired of waiting on games to come out now just to be let down. x_x
 
My suggestion: Don't turn your brain off. If it sucks, it sucks. It's a natural transition in your life. Listen, SC4 is more or less the only game I play. My PS3 was a glorified SC4 machine. There's nothing wrong with that. Branch out and find something else to do, maybe.

also, we have an insomniacs club. it is called 8wayrun javachat. there is a link at the top of the page. there are...almost always...other bored people there willing to play just about whatever you both may have, or to just look at pictures and talk about bullshit.
 
...I can sort of relate to this..

Back in the day of single-ton & mum support... I was an avid gamer with daily dosage of Counter-Strike, Soulcalibur 2 sessions w/ friends & even teh glorious hours of grinding for 255 stats in FFX; seems i spent a lifetime wandering the Calm Lands in my quest to at least get high enough 'luck' to at least hit Dark Bahamut & have a shot at taking down Penance the hard way.. >_<

But since getting married (to a non-gaming gurl no less =_=), getting house, kid, huge debts & holding down a job to somehow pay for it all... seems the only proper video games I'm able to play are the Fighting Games, since theyre the easiest to put down whenever my dear wife rings deh bell.. or when lil one cries out for a bottle of tehm expensive milk formulas... =_=

Only in the REALLY late hours am I able to get the chance to try for decent online sessions, which sux since I would end up falling asleep whilst waiting for my turn in the lobby.. >_< lol! ...i suppose thts no surprise @ 02.00 during weekdays.. >_<

...& fat chance in hell will I ever b able 2 touch any RPG games of any sort either.. =/


Conclusion:
Family/Debts/Work can & will kill Serious Gaming... >_<



...still, 'my soul still burnz!' ..& soulcalibur has been a good stress reliever, so I'll always find a way to get them sessions in.. even if its 'half-assed' online ones..
