    "Do you have games installed or on tap to play at a moment's notice when a game or genre burn you out?"

    I do, but no burnout for me, since I game hop :)
    Rotate my main games, 1-2 months a time, mixed my secondary games inbetween when there's something fun there.
    It's working for me so far - which means more than a decade now, actually.

    I believe it depends on playstyle (so, subjective), for me the 1-2 months used the be the comfortable timeframe to spend in one game and could hop onto the next one with anticipation and not due to necessity and/or burnout.

    Events used to be a nice guideline as well, currently I'm in CO chasing Foxbat, and I'm already building up the anticipation for the next hop - LotRO's Anniversary starts next week.

    I like to rotate because I like being exposed to more games.....I feel I can give an opinion by playing more games......If I only played one mMO for hte last 20 years, then I wouldn't have a working knowledge of so many others.....It's nice to know the strengths and weaknesses of varying games.....

    I just picked up Fallout 3 GOTY on GOG for 10 bucks. So I'm playing that along with ESO for breaks from ESO. But most of the time I'm playing both.

    Hate me if you will, but...

    Masterchief time... I load up and play me some Halo singleplayer games. 

     If Halo:Foward Unto Dawn (live action movie set after the events of Halo 3, before Halo 4) is free on Netflix or Prime... give it a watch... not a bad flick.  Worth a $3 rental IMO if you have $.

    I'm so backlogged on awesome games (I own and haven't started), it's not a problem these days. ;)

    It is weird.

    Is PoE my main game or is my backup game as i skip seasons here and there while i play other things.


    I guess my backup game is project entropia as the game makes me money even when im not playing it and it is always there and when i have to do some menial task on computer i can play that.

    Here's the thing. It has always been WoW. When WoW Classic came out, that was it for me. I hung up retail and never looked back. WoW Classic is like home. My favorite expansion is the Burning Crusade. But then Blizzard managed to destroy any enthusiasm I had for the game by offering character boosts for TBC! Are you kidding me? Classic is now becoming Retail. I need a new or an old game to give me that connected feeling again. My man and I have not played a game since they announced TBC will have boosts. Those boosts will give decent gear, a mount, money, and other perks. We are gamers and WoW has always been the game we gone back too. What happens when that comfy game crushes joy for gaming.



    You are a funny guy! 'Oh noes blizz killed mah game' ' lets play the reboot' 'oh noes the reboot is following the same schedule as my main game' 'oh noes i hate wow' ' oh my. there's a new reboot' 'oh they killed mah reboot again' what am i gonna do

    *insert bitconnect meme here* Here's a tip: don't get stuck in your overromantisized past!
    We are all satoshi!
