For a long time, I've been able to game when I wanted, for the most part. But this week, I am so physically exhausted by the time the end of the day comes around that I can't even focus enough to play a game I want to (in this case FF7 and Mass Effect 2).

I mean, I just can't focus, so I watch TV or read instead.

Is this what normal gamers have to put up with?  Is gaming a hobby for white collar workers and couch potatoes?

If this continues you'll get used to it and it will be nothing at all.

Also, speed.

Thats kind of the position I find myself in these days, and generally I just don't play anything. If I play anything at all its my handheld, and even on that (the 3DS at the moment) its limited to games that requiere a minimal level of thought and has a simple control scheme. Sakura Samurai or Burger Time. Nothing that requires more than the bare minimum when it comes to readin, moving, and following a plot.

Its definitely frustrating. I'vw just gotten to the point in Tides of Destiny where the plot is starting to come into focus and i just don't have the mental fortitude to play it. On the otherhand the Wii is upstairs in the kids' playroom and I don't want to take the effort to walk upstairs either.

When I'm tired I try to get my girlfriend to lick my balls while I sleep.

Well there is a difference between being tired of gaming and actually being tired to where you fall asleep on the controller. The latter I do a lot, at that point I go to sleep.

Welcome to my world.  Then the next stage is you will be so tired that you can't even watch the TV for more than ten minutes.  Chronic fatigue is a bastard

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

I'm a weekend-only gamer due to being far too tired after work.

I've always been able to carve out at least an hour on the days when I am tired, not not this week. Ah well, I'm sure, like Foolz said, I'll get used to it and adjust.

Like today I am completely beat, been up since 0330 and I'd play right now, but I've got a shitload of more work to do until the sun goes down.  By then it will no longer be something I can manage.

Now that's just sad.

I was so tired yesterday after flipping through all the channels I went back to the show that was the dumbest because it was the least mentally taxing. (The pilot for Sabrina the Teenage Witch). LOL

Fortunately this morning I was refreshed and got a couple hours in with Mass Effect 2.
