Why I shouldnt buy any new games… (updated)

For any game I have finished or given up on because i am really stuck, there are at least four games I just stopped playing or outright NEVER STARTED!
Sometimes I just stopped playing because there was a newer game, and sometimes because i had a phase without time for games and then didn’t go back to the game (or sometimes couldn’t at the level of skill i had left at and didn’t want to restart).

Anyway, here’s the summary:

I’m surprised you have not completed Halflife2.
It just takes a little patience. Then again, I don’t have as much choice of gaming material as you do. All we need is 48hours in a day & I’m sure more gaming could be achieved smile

I will pass this page onto my brother he may be up for a game swap
