Hi Boomers

I have to ask...Please be honest ..

Do you flip flop between games?
I have three games started & I go from one to the other

I think its a problem I have. But I just like the thought of these games not being finished

Well i have been off and on playing moment of silence for a year or two now and only recently got back into it and up to lunar 5 section.

I have alot of games unfinished as well as these days i just lose interest or cant pay attention to something longer than say 30mins to a hour or two. I just like browsing forums too much hehe.

But yeah im a flip flopper as you call us. lol.

I once remember when i was a youngster about 10 years ago that i played games for hrs and hrs on end. Colonization and fronteir elite 2 i played for months and months at a time. I miss those days but i sometimes hate how i was as i have bad eyes now cos of computers.

I can only ever play one game at a time. I like to concentrate 100% on one game, and then when I've finished it I move on to the next one. I think if I played a few games at a time I would forget exactly where I was in all of them, due to all that zig-zagging.

However, if I do get hopelessly mired in a game (Sacred Rings springing to mind here ), then I can leave it for a couple of months and move on to something else. Eventually I will go back to the original game and take another crack at it. That is my exception.

I'm not really a flip flopper. I like to finish the games I start--though sometimes do have unfinished games on the puter because Life interrupts my gaming

I have a hard enough time following one plot line because of playing gaps. With more than that, I'd never know what was going on

I've never been able to do that, same way with books--one at a time is the way for me, with the exception that if I am too tired in the evening to go back to my full-length game, I will sometimes play a casual game instead.

Absolutely. But I'm a book flip flopper too. I have one next to my bed that I read before going to sleep or on lazy Sunday mornings, one next to the ironing board that I read in tiny tidbits when waiting for the iron to heat up, one near the computer I work on, for during time-consuming processes during which I can't do anything else, etc etc. It also depends on my mood which book I like to read, and the same goes for games. Sometimes I feel like a funny, lighthearted game and sometimes I feel like a psychological thriller or maybe an exciting Role Playing Game. I don't think it's a problem or even strange or weird. Why should I have to finish a game I don't really feel like playing at that particular time before starting another?

I flip-flop in games and in books, like Pollo.

I'll normally have a couple of old DOS games floating around, plus some demos. And a "proper" game.

Right now I'm swapping between Discworld 1, Ark of Time and Leather Goddesses of Phobos (apologies to the Fairer Sex, but it's a throwback to my student days). I've got a couple of demos to install soon. Plus, I'm about to re-start either Fahrenheit or Broken Sword 4.

Books tend to be one light and one serious at a time, with dips into my pdf collection when I'm near the computer.

God knows what would happen if I played for more than about 4 hours a week, though!

Ican't flip flop books but I'm playing 3 different games right now. The biggest problem I've had with it is I'm stuck on two of them and when I post in the help forums I mix and match the names like 'Agatha Christie's The Awakened'

I'm a HUGE flip flopper. I have about 5 or 6 adventure games on the go not to mention my hoyle games, DOS games and my casual bigfish games. I have a very short attention span and while I enjoy all the games I tend to get bored after a few hours and move on down the line. Then when I don't feel like really getting into a plot driven game I play the casual ones. Of course when I'm feeling nostalgic I go to the DOS games.

Hello I do usually finish most of my games but I play more than one at a time .According to what mood I am in .I will play a certain game .I have 3 on the go at the momment

I second jldcat. I am doing that right now as a matter of fact. And when I'm really tired and can't concentrate on the plot driven games, and I'm not on GB reading, I play casual games. I spend more time on my computer than I do most anything else these days.

Hi, Darleen.

I'm not a 'flip flopper either, I like to concentrate on one game at a time...I tend to lose the plot if I try to play more than one...
I like to really get immersed in the game world and I don't think my poor brain could cope with several worlds.

I'm like Tyke. One game at a time. If I get restless, I play casual games. Teddo

I seemed to spend most of my life multi-tasking e.g. making supper while helping kids with homework and writing the shopping list. So now I delight in doing just 1 thing at a time

Hi

I try to restrict myself to only having upto 3 games installed at any one time - but don't always succeed. I just enjoy them all too much

Books I mostly stick at two, though.

Cheers.

You're not alone in that department Dar. I've done that on many occasions. I think bouncing back and forth is good especially if you are stuck. It gives you a chance to take a break and figure out what's going on. But be careful you can very easily confuse the games. Times I've thought in one game I'll go back to this spot and pick up this item, took me about 20 mins to figure out I was playing the wrong game.

Oh my gosh yes. I flip and flop until one really grabs me and then I play to the end. Through it all I flip-flop on my casual games as well.

I fall into the non-flip-flop camp. I usually stick with one adventure game until it is completed. If I'm in the middle of an intense game but don't feel in the mood to continue it one night, I'll do a casual game or jump online for some Family Feud (cheesy, I know, but so much fun!). Sometimes if I get bored with a game I'll leave it unfinished and play another one until I feel like finishing the first one, but generally, I like getting caught up in the stories and prefer not to get distracted.

As for books, I tend to read those one at a time, too. The exception is if I'm reading something that requires me to think a lot, I might put it down for a few days and read something light and then go back to it. It seems to give my brain some time to process the deeper stuff.

I'm currently playing Dreamfall, Shady Brook,and Broken Sword 4 so where would that place me, LOL

Regards and Happy Gaming,
Barry

I'm a one at a time kinda gal. If I'm wanting a quick fix of something different I'll do one of Peter's puzzles, but if I don't like the game enough to go back to it, I uninstall it.

I tend to stick with one adventure game. If I start another adventure game, the first game tends to not get worked on for long enough that I forget where I'm at in it and have to start it all over again.

One at a time for me also. I like to give it my full attention.

Maybe I'm an lunatic, when I start a game and the story really interests me, I can't stop playing. I have been playing games for 96 hours without any sleep!
