"There's too many of them!" "Stay on target."

So I'm thinking to myself, just the other day, "there's too many games over there in the queue. No way in hell I'm going to play them all AND simultaneously maintain this flimsy facade of a normal productive citizen. I've got to just bite the bullet and take some of them off the list." Honest to God, I thought that. Just the other day. And then what do I go and do? I ask you! As though it's not painfully obvious! I add almost a dozen more! The INSANITY!!!

Seriously, though. I'm going to have to start applying some gorilla tactics here, such as sitting around and picking bugs out of the ground with a stick, and taking frequent naps in the foliage.

No, what I'm going to do, if I can muster up the courage, is to apply a scorched earth policy to that unwieldy list of RTS games. Odds are only 2, maybe 3, of those are worth the time, and probably only one has a decent cooperative mode. So I'm going to give each of those games two sessions: one session to learn the ropes, and one to play a few games. If after those two sessions I haven't registered a big ol' spike on the fun-o-meter, well then hasta la vista! Yoink, right off the hard drive. Life's too short to give all the world's crappy RTS games a fair shake. And besides, I still haven't gotten around to playing any of the space sims, which keep whispering in my ear how cool they are, and that I should quit wasting my time with all those churlish, broken strategy games with bad AI.
