Your well termed gaming ennui typically finds me once I've beaten a very long game or a rash of smaller ones in a short period of time. Specifically, seeing the credits roll on the TV might as well be the denouement post-orgasm. One more crossed off the list, a sense of satisfaction and completion. But how rare is it that you simply pop that disc out and throw another in and continue playing? This is compounded by all the other little steps of ritual someone may do after beating a game (i.e. putting that game with your other completed games, writing a review of it, etc.). Often times my free days are wasted because I beat a game at 11am and I can't bring myself to play another game for the rest of the day.
