What is Gamer’s Choice Paralysis? Well, it is simply a term I have invented to put into words the feeling all gamer’s experience on a near consistent basis: how in the hell am I supposed to play, and afford, all these games?!<\/p>\n

So many games!!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a married adult with a full-time job and responsibilities (kill me), it is hard to keep up with the frantic release schedule of the current-gen and the ever-expanding, all-consuming hell-spawn that is my backlog.<\/p>\n

In the past 6 months I also started this site, which resulted in additional pressure to play and complete<\/i> games. Born from this necessity, I conceived a novel strategy to slowly advance through my backlog and complete games, while still actually having fun.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To start, I only ever play two games simultaneously. This is to minimize the amount of options I have at any given time, while still providing enough variety to prevent my gaming from becoming stagnant.<\/p>\n
