Here is what I did yesterday: I went home, I went climbing, I got home. When I got home I said to myself, ‘gee whiz, I’ve really been wanting to check out that Far Cry 3 video game all my buddies have been talking about. I should do that.’ But then I did other things. I jumped onto Facebook, I did the dishes — a couple of hours later I realised it was actually quite late, so I just went to bed. Am I doing that weirdest of weird things? Am I procrastinating gaming?
It’s starting to happen more and more. I’ll look for reasons not to play video games. Household tasks, catching up with friends, dilly dallying on the internet. Am I alone here? Has anyone else found themselves doing the same thing?
This has been happening particularly with Far Cry 3 for some reason. Part of it, I think, has to do with the fact that Far Cry 3 will require a fair amount of time investment. Also — it’s a shooter. And I don’t know if I can really be bothered chucking 20 hours into another shooter.
I don’t know what’s going on. Am I alone here? Has anyone else here found themselves procrastinating video games?
