The illusion of choice. Basically the fact that I have too many video games means that I can't pick just one, and I may as well have none.

Let's say I have access to any steam game. I. Literally. Can't. Pick. One. There's nothing to play. And It's been driving me insane for the last 3 days now. All I've been doing is playing hearthstone because I literally can't figure out what else to do.

To make matters worse, I have a PS3/PS4 with a backlog, so whenever I think I'm close to picking a game I think "Hey, maybe I should clear my backlog first". Except I don't.

I suck. What do you suggest I do to get out of this predicament?

Just pick a video game and play it. If you aren't having fun, switch to another game. Cheers.

The Wii U is pretty great.

But just pick a game, and play it.

OP it's obvious that Hearthstone has inflicted you with gamer depression but you can't see it. Please stop playing this and any moba games you might play (depending on your aids level ) and get a Wii U immediately to counter the depression.

Also, OP, I strongly recommend you stay away from ArcheAge as the only people who play that are insane pedophiles such as Tokaii.

a good cure for game paralysis is to just jump into a game and play until you cannot play anymore, or try a different method of gaming if you have a portable or console or something

Get Ground Zeroes or work on your backlog. Do not buy another console or else your gonna have like twice as many backlogs.

I can't afford a Wii U but I really want one because I skipped the Wii, so being backwards compatible gives me two generations of games to play.

If you have a computer you can play the entirety of the Wii library with ease.

Just make sure you delete the ROMs within 24 hours :)

After surely buying it for dirt cheap during a Steam sale or something, did you ever get around to playing FTL? You should perhaps do that.

This is an unorthodox opinion which may get me banned but consider doing something non gaming with your free time. It's not because you have too many games. It's because you don't really want to game at all. Do something else for a while.
