You and I have much of the same interests and same reaction to games. lol I
was into sryth but got bored. I have been thinking about getting back into
it more recently. but I would start a char all over since it has been so
long since I last played. I am that way with muds, anything. I am still
waiting for the one game, that one that just grabs me and can hold my
attention.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] game cycle?
Hi Charles,
As a matter of fact that's almost exactly how I am. I'll play something
like SoundRTS for a week or two, get burned out, play Chess or Uno, get
burned out, and play something else. Eventually, the cycle will start
over. It is actually difficult for a game to keep my attention for very
long.
Take Sryth for example. While I truely enjoy the game I go through spells
where I play it almost every day, and then there will be a spell where I
don't do anything with my character for a month. Then, one weekend I'll
find myself board, login, and play actively for a week or so before
growing board with it again.
This so-called cycle is what makes it hard for me to complete a game like
Jim's NFL Football game. I'll start out a season make it through 6 or 10
games and get board off my rear. Perhaps a month later I'll start playing
and resume the season again losing my momentum and drive to make it to
the Super Bowl. I've litterally had a game of football last a year before
i made it to the Super Bowl, because even though I like the game it can't
keep my attention for very long. I'll play a couple of games and not pick
it up again for weeks .
Although, I am pretty sure why this happens. The bottom line is there
aren't very many accessible games that truly satisfies me. Before I lost
my vision I was into games like Tomb Raider, Jedi Knight, the original
Heroes Might and Magic, Mech Warrior, and various other games that were
out in the mid 1990's. There are very few accessible games that really
compare. Shades of Doom and GMA Tank Commander are the closest I can think
of which is why I purchased both as soon as I could. I don't personally
get the same entertainment or satisfaction out of playing Uno, Hearts,
Aliens in the Outback, etc. The games are good in their own way, but not
my cup of tea.

Just curious if anyone else finds themselves doing this: You are in the
mood to play a particular game. You haven't played it in a while, and
you get caught up in it. You play the heck out of that game, but none
other. After a time, you decide to play another game. You haven't
played that one for a while, and you get caught up in it, ignoring all
other games on your PC. Sort of a game cycle.
