Bored like hell.
 

It's a Monday night and I feel like my brain is being sucked out of my head. My school course is ridiculously easy to the point where I believe a brain dead raccoon could get straight As. Starcraft has lost it's buzz after the 50th game this week and Minecraft provides no comfort. My favorite sitcoms are no so unfunny that I may actually pull my hair out a single hair at a time. You are probably reading this and going either "Wow his life sucks" or "I'd hate to be him" or even "Why am I wasting my time reading this?". Those are all very good questions and I may never get around to answering them. What I do want answered though is how to de-bordafy myself. I've tried everything, video games, musical instrument, I even learnt Russian. (It's actually a very laid back language, they really aren't rushing to get anywhere.) and yet apart from the small satisfaction I get from each bad and very well used pun, and the warm feeling O goot foom speeling thungs wiredly. I really don't have anything to do. Any suggestions?

Haha i went through this same exact phase. You feel no accomplishments and have no idea how to continue gaining that sense of self-satisfaction and accomplishment with anything you did. All you need to do is experiment with something new. You can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect to stay entertained forever (even sc2 only cuts it for so long.)

Search around, find new games. Play them until your bored of them then return to sc2, it will feel much better and you'll be ready to try and continue to get better. That's all i can really think of. Just experiment with new thing until you find something you like. Hell i even started playing RuneScape again when i had that. Like i already said several time, experiment with new stuff and you'll find new thing to occupy your time ^_^

Find some new interests that are similar to the ones you have but are different enough to keep a buzz going.

Don't do drugs, drugs are bad. SC2 is the greatest game of all, but I would say maybe play less of it to keep the interest alive if you're bored after 50 games. Maybe do 20 or less and do something else. Minecraft is a brain dead lego world, but musical instruments are an awesome way to engage the brain imo.

Oh, also get laid. Sex is awesome. It's actually completely impossible to get bored of that unless you're one of those freaky waxed german swingers that do it every 30 minutes for the past decade.

Wana trade places?

I have 6 projects at work, need to find $2800 to pay rent by aug 28th, got gf to attend to, and can't squeeze minutes to play sc2. I get up 7:30 and rush for breakfast just so I can play one or two games in the morning, cuz at night I'm totally braindead to beat anything above rank 100 bronze. And weekends are packed with random distant people getting married and wasting my time. Not that I'm unhappy for them. Just burned out a bit.

Russian has best swearings, one reason to learn it.

I want a simple 2-day weekend at home, want do nothing but drink "Белый Медведь" (White Bear) draft, and play sc2.

Get a real job
Get a woman

Then look back and count how much free time you got left. Probably close to 0

I'd say just take a break; reassess your life and go from there. Some people "move on" from video games so perhaps that's happening to you? If not, then maybe just take a break from gaming and come back in a few weeks when everything will feel fresh again.

Other than that; try picking up other interests and getting out of your comfort zone and that could assist you in the boredom department. Oh and in terms of TV shows, if you haven't already - check out; True Blood, Entourage, An Idiot Abroad, Game of Thrones as they're all pretty quality shows but again, not sure if they'll help with your boredom or just add to it.

GLGL!
