It's been about a year since I finished the last game I played, The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds. Since then, I did buy Majora's Mask 3DS reissue which was still in its plastic wrapping last week, until I finally gave it a go, and I did play a little bit of PS3 last summer until it broke (was broken) - yet, nothing from start to finish, far from it.
So, starting last year and continuing this year, I've had a lot of trouble making time to play games.
Last year, I had some free mornings and afternoons (which I usually finished early as well) and the weekends as well, although especially later in the year I had started bringing home a lot more work. This year it's been more of a straight 8,30am to 5,30pm but I usually only get home about 6. I've been living alone, my girlfriend and mother (my father died a few years ago) live in different towns. So, even after getting home there's still time for cooking, cleaning and laundry.
During weekends I usually visit one or the other and prefer taking a walk when it's still light outside, going out to lunch, and playing guitar.
So I have been taking my entertainment in smaller doses. Usually just cartoons/anime because episodes are usually small, and I guess I still consume a lot of puroresu.
Since games usually take longer, I've had a bit of a hard time playing them only weekends, sometimes it's hard to remember what you want to do, and most of the time it's difficult to maintain the excitement level over months, one is bound to lose interest (I remember with TLoZ:ALBW in particular I mostly had to force myself in the end because I had been playing it for about 2 months)
Long story short, I need some help from some of you adults out there, that have managed to cram good gaming hours in your busy weeks. Tips, pointers and corners to cut are welcome.
