So for the past year or two I've almost solely played Call of Duty. Every night I'd hop on with my friends and play Call of Duty 4 or Modern Warfare 2. Before I used to play all of the big games that came out, but then for some reason I just got trapped into this cycle of only wanting to play CoD.  
 
I don't really know why, partly because all my friends would play it so I wanted to play and talk with them and it was still a fun game but when ever I would try to play another game even if it was good, I would just end up getting bored, barely giving it a chance and go back to CoD.  
 
Then I saw some trailers for Red Dead Redemption and I thought it looked awesome. So I bought it the week it came out and I started to realize that I've wasted TONS of my time playing CoD when I could have been playing a ton of other awesome games that came out over that time. I also recently bought Halo Reach and have had tons of fun with it and it has really opened my eyes to how shallow some parts of CoD are compared to it. 
 
 I used to be insanely excited for Black Ops, but now I think that it will just be another fun game I go back to every once in a while as I play other games. I'm now starting to feel just as excited for tons of games just like I used to. Feels so good to be cured.
