Getting bored with all the games I have

STALKER.

Turn up the difficulty. Try to survive.

This for sure.

Very accurate illustration.
 
Also, what could I do in place of gaming? I usually have a 3 hours gap between working out and falling asleep at night....and I just troll reddit in that time.
I recommend fapping.
OR, read a book or listen to ebooks. With three whole hours every day you could get a lot of books done. I've been listening to ebooks on the road and at the gym. Makes good use of otherwise boring wasted time. The only downside of road listening is I dont remember everything I hear. Too much concentration on the road.

I read a lot of books for homework, so I am sick of doing that by the time I get to that point of night.


And I can't fap for 3 hours straight...its I would look like pop-eye if I did.
 
out of my price range! lol jk...maybe ill take a peep

Neverwinter Nights 2 is much better than Dragon Age or Neverwinter Nights, but its not nearly as good as Baldurs Gate.

I recommend cheating, giving yourself a dozen blank wands and a bajillion gold, and set everyone up with Cure Light Wounds and Magic Missile. Makes the game a ton easier.
Also, take Qara back down to level one, and rebuild her with only combat spells. Dumb broad has a bad habit of casting Armor when theres a gang of orcs across a chasm.

Also, the expansions are good cuz you can start off with cooler stuff on a new game in the original campaign. New classes, feats, skills, and spells, and I think new Spheres for your cleric (as if there werent enough).
 
Ok, ignore all the other replies. I hear you on games getting boring I am in the same boat.

heres what you do

re-install Baldurs Gate 2 and Throne of Bhaal. If you have never played it then I envy you.

Now do some research and look into the following mods
Widescreen resolution
G3 fix and tweak packs
Banter pack
Song and Silence
rogue rebalance ( forget the name exactly )
There are more good ones but those are must haves in my opinion.

Then, attempt the glorious No-reload challenge. Some folks started this on the Baldurs gate forums. Essentially you play hardcore you cannot reload after a death. If your NPCs chunk ( die to the point of no ressurection ) they are dead. Pick up a new NPC or go solo. I just did this and having a blast. Talk about tactics! Thought about starting a dedicated thread for this on these boards but, I think the following would be too niche.

This will NOT be boring. You may die partway through the game, get frustrated and say f*** this but it wont be boring!

Pulling 22 credits brah. Including a bio chem lab. I go to school 9 to 6pm mon-thurs and lab is saturdays noon to 4. No time for a job bra. Not including the 13 hours a week I have to log for this internship.

No time for job but time for games, eh? ; )

Nah, dont get me wrong. What you do is your business. Not like I'm judging or anything. Just saying. If you have time for games, clearly studying isnt all that hard or you aint studying too hard. ; ) I am busy literally every day, 13 hours except for Saturday. So yeah... It is not pretty, but I am doing it.

Oh, btw, I felt just fine playing STALKER. I dont know why someone put up that picture.
The 1st one, Shadow of Chernobyl was absolutely horrific the first time I played it. The feeling of dread in some areas is indescribable. But really, the game is just very interesting and pelasant to play. I keep coming back for more every now and then, and I beat every one of the 3 games. Bought a copy of each too.

I have 3 hours at night between the time I go to bed and after i've done all my homework and studying and fapping. I don't know anywhere in the world that would hire someone to work for 3 hours only 😉 I bought stalker, but wasn't able to get into the game...i bought it when it was like 99 cents or something.
