[Rant] Have Your Gaming Attitudes Changed With Age?

I don't know that my gaming habits have changed all that much due to age, but the advent of Backloggery has made me a lot more focused. I've always had a tendency to put a game down when the end drew near, sometimes for years. Now I push through that feeling and finish a lot more games than I used to. As a result, I also have more unstarted games laying around which can get a bit depressing. I've developed a bad habit of starting games and then never getting back to them again too. Not sure why, since a lot of the time I really enjoy those games and I blow through them all at once when I do eventually come back to them.

I do that too, but unless I'm watching something that I'm actually interested in I generally have either my DS, PSP, or iPod going at the same time. I have such a tremendous backlog on my DS games alone that it's easy to find something to grind while watching TV. Hell, that's where 90% of my Picross 3D progress came from, and don't get me started on the 230+ hours of Dragon Quest IX.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
