quitting v.games (some kind of a serious business)
i been passionately collecting ps2, psp, and ps3 games, with some wii and ds games.
whenever a collector's/limited/special edition comes out, it was always the one i get. to count, about 400+ titles. looking at their value i spent, it's quite alot, selling them, will give maybe 40-60% of what i spent.

last game i played for a long time was starcraft 2, actively for 6 weeks, all my free time. i still play it, casually. on a console, i think FF13.

but in the last few months, my motivation for playing just drained out, i used to play games 10-15 hours a day in my high school - college days, now 2-3 hours.
maybe because I'm always tired (6x a week, 8-10 hours a night of work), or maybe just because i been playing since 5 years old, to count, that's 20 years of my life with video games. getting too old for video games eh?

i been thinking of these for some days now, and i plan to stop buying just to collect, sell after finishing it, and if i decide to stop playing a game, I'll sell it right away, so no turning back. also those i bought just for the sake of having them, till i manage to sell everything. I'm kinda obsessive, so my only choice is to get rid of them for me not to get back to them.

i got a x360 2 weeks ago, then returned it a week after.

maybe it's time for me to stop. i lost my appreciation to them, i buy them, i start them, play them for 2-3 days, then i just stop playing them and they get forgotten.

last game i plan to buy would be assassin's creed brotherhood. i canceled my collector's edition order from gamestop, also canceled my codex edition[eu only release]. i still ordered the regular edition, since i enjoyed the story of AC2, and kinda quite excited with this sequel. and after beating it, i plan to sell it right away. it will be my last video game purchase, unless a super epic JRPG comes out in the future. also canceled all my pre-orders, except the super mario all-stars limited ed for wii.

unconsciously, i been spending all my free time for the last few months, watching anime and building gundam model kits, which i both enjoy.

practically thinking, this is a good decision for my life, for those who know me in real life for a long time, this plan of mine could be impossible, but I'm quite decided.
i could save (you know, for the future!) or spend the money on something else
(more anime boxsets, gunpla and figures!)

also, i need to fix my sleeping hours, need to get 8 hours of sleep a day. been sleeping for only  4-6 hours per day recently.
need to sleep now. good night.


TLDR = I'll stop buying video games and sell all my games gradually.

nothing.
