[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 4950544, member: 203855"] You have your expectations bar set too high. As you grow older and gain experience [I](lel, game reference)[/I], you gradually become harder and harder to surprise. Eventually you hit the point where you've seen it all, nothing surprises you and by proxy, little amuses you. Instead of going for quality, you instinctively reach out for quantity - you simply move on to the next game on the list, waiting for something to amuse you... and this moment never comes. The problem isn't in games, it's in your approach. This sounds terribly hippie, but bare with me for a moment. Dim the lights, get a nice drink and some snacks, settle into your favorite sofa or armchair and... no, this is not an intro to a porno, I told you to bare with me! :angry: Flush your mind, boot up a game and take it for what it is. You have to enjoy it as a child would, you have to re-awaken that childhood wonder that made you amazed by whole 5 frames of animation. If you don't have that curiosity of a child, you instinctively take things as a snob would, which isn't necessarily a bad thing - some people like to be snobbish, but you clearly have a problem with this. The problem isn't that you've forgotten how to have fun, rather that you've forgotten how to be amused by all the small things. You have to try and put yourself in the right mindset and savour whatever game you choose to play. It would obviously help if it was a [I]good[/I] game, so it's not a bad idea to act on recommendation here. [/QUOTE]

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
