"Not a team player"

... well actually, it's the opposite...

I tried to play Supreme Commander last night. I had played a full hour last week, and it was OK; but just OK. So, I turned it off after 5 minutes last night, electing instead to watch Holmes on Homes on the Tivo.

It's not that I don't want to play games.... I really do... It's just that no game really grabs me. So I started wondering why. I've played a lot of games in the past, but I seem to enjoy FPS most. Well, do I really enjoy FPS the most ? How come I felt bored playing R6V on Eric's 360 last week ? For that matter, why did I quit WoW ? Why did I quit Eve Online ? Why did I enjoy Quake so much in the past ? Why do I find Civilization IV boring and yet enjoy playing it with Maurice and Noir last month ?

Ahhhhhh, that's it ....

Seems I am a social critter .... That's why I like LAN Parties so much, and yet don't really play any of the games outside the parties. I like the interaction with friends while playing, either as co-ops or as enemies. I quit WoW because Maurice had taken a break from WoW at the time; same for Eve. I enjoyed Quake in the past because I ran a Quake server and I played against my friends, in the evenings (before Gabba was born).

So, ultimately that's good news and bad news... The good news is that I will most probably play with the Clan when I get a 360, and not get bored. The bad news is that I will probably always suck at it since I will never really practice outside of the Multiplayer time... It's not like Blackwalt didn't predict this anyways...
