...or you can do like I'm doing now in-between games: marathoning YouTube LP's while taking apart / fixing broken electronics around my house and for friends :) Did you know that you can mix Super Glue with Baking Soda to make a really strong crack filler for worn out plastics? Don't get me started on first-person-view quad copters! Did I mention the Metal Earth thing, yet?
But seriously, I hear ya about games missing a step lately. Sometimes I get burned out, and just have to take a break. No amount of games fixed that. One of my recent remedies: I took a "Bob Ross" oil painting workshop with the wifey, and impressed myself with the results. As mentioned, I'm brushing up on my old electronics and soldering skills. As much as I hate to admit it, there's more out there than games. What is something that you could teach other people about? How do you become more engaged with that or take it to the next level or possibly combine it with another activity?
Aside, I don't want to overstep the bounds of the conversation, here, but I'd also like to put in a mention for the possibility of depression. Speaking from personal experience, if you feel like there is a growing "what's the point" emptiness that can't really be filled for more than a few days with "distractions", then you might want to talk to some friends or family or even a healthcare professional. I'm not necessarily implying anything, but I just want to possibly rule that out. It is a real, "I never thought that could happen to me" thing, and it will sneak up on people and take them by surprise.
