This is a serious condition that needs to be erradicated quick. If it is something you really love do it, dont just talk about it.

Yeah, I'm guilty of that too. Though, I've improved, and I try not to talk too much about things I haven't played or have interest in playing.
Logging the games I finish has given me more of an insentive to do so. Also having got a nice big HD tv means I can enjoy my console games much more now ... so I do!

Yeah, such as thumbing up the guy who uses the word guilt and possibly supports your hateful categorisation while ignoring the one who possibly does not.

I'm already that guy.
A lot of games I see bore me or don't excite me at all. I like chatting to you guys more and hearing the news. I'll play on and off, but I'm not this insatiable gaming beast anymore. There's lots of other stuff to do.

For the past few years I think I've felt like I was on this train that would never stop and you get into the whole thing about buying every big game that comes out and playing it incessently till you finish. I feel like I've grown a bit out of that. I no longer feel like I have to own the latest games and I don't really care when I play them if I do pick them up.
Much of this has to do with the E3 2012 effect where lots of games look like you have played them before. I want to see something and think: wow, I haven't seen that before.
And this attitude has served my wallet pretty well too, as if you don't rush to get the latest releases they always come down in price anyway. The lazier you are about picking them up, the cheaper they get.
There are exceptions of course and it depends on my mood too. I'm not really pressed to finish games these days unless they are really easy, if I get near enough the end it's pretty much done.
I was playing Fire Emblem Sacred Stones on the 3DS and Path of Radiance on the Wii before Italy. Then the disruption to the house stopped all that so I haven't played a game in almost 2 months.
