I don't cheat as for me that takes away all the satisfaction I get from seeing a game through from beginning to end however as I have gotten older I no longer try and force myself to continue playing games that I am not enjoying. I have enjoyed gaming on the whole a lot more since I started doing this. Sometimes I'll go back if it is something I really want to like and sometimes that works but I no longer get hung up on quitting a game if it is doing nothing for me.

My graveyard of abandoned games grows almost as quickly as my library.

I recognize this as novelty-seeking behavior, but I think I'm discerning enough now that I get my money's worth, generally speaking.
