Addiction

I don't know why, but I get obsessive. I quickly become entirely entranced in one subject, and don't waiver for quite some time. Then, once I see the next piece of cool, I immediately drop the last. I obsess over specific games, game genres, recipes, TV shows, music, and tons of other arbitrary little things one after the other, but rarely get good at any particular one.

Recent obsessions are Buffy (which I finished yesterday), pita sandwiches, and voice changing software. I've obsessed over voice changers before but obsessions are not one time deals. They ebb and flow, deciding for me when I like them and when I don't. I've been obsessed over the Archos products for about 5 years now, but I saw them first when I was in about 6th grade and didn't really think about them much between 2 years ago and 1 year ago. I find them awesome even when I don't obsess about them, but it brings a whole new level to it when I look for news all over the internet.

My biggest current obsession is Monster Hunter Tri. That game is amazing. To me it feels like PSO, but with much better controls. I love the crafting because I love hording loot and being able to make the weapons I currently own do much better, rather than replacing them. However, I did just get a new weapon because I wanted one of a different type. Today marks the acquisition of my first bowgun. It feels completely different than the swords or hammers. It almost plays like a new game. The movement are still the same, but the aiming that replaces the chaining and combos really makes a difference. Also, the quests are all very similar, but all fun to me, especially when they help me fill out the Hunter's Notes log.

So, you can see how I get when I'm obsessed with something. I was the same way for Borderlands until the game actually came near. When I heard the news that all the guns were bullet weapons I was upset. There was so much promise for random alien weaponry, but all of the innovative weapons were really terrible. I could create better weapons than those developers did. And I did. I went into my save file and built a shotgun that could drop in the game, but had league of power beyond any other gun I had seen before it in the game.

Once again, how I get with obsessions. I have said many times that I'm addicted to addictions. I fall into things completely until I have something else to put all my efforts towards. I guess the current one is blog posts. I hope I will keep up with them, but so far only my weekday posts have any consistency. At least I'm trying. And at this rate my writing skills should just sky rocket. I can see it now. This time next year I'll have a novel to my name and everyone will love it. Unless they have eyes...

Well, I do hope you enjoy reading and I hope you continue. And tell you friends I need more readers. I do love readers. They make me happy inside.
