game completion: getting your dollars worth

Spending 60 dollars on a video game is a serious investment for (most) college students. That's 400 packages of gourmet ramen noodles. It doesn't take a rocket science undergrad to realize if you're spending that much on a game, you should finish the damned thing. Think of the starving children.

Unfortunately for little timmy ethiopian I have a hard time finishing most games I start playing. Oblivion? I'm stuck between various kill quests and trying to determine where to go to actually progress the story. Halo 3? The flood made the 2nd to last level maddening, and I haven't picked it up since. The list goes on.

The reason I don't actually finish these games is simple. I get bored easily enough, and when the barrier of starting again is too high -- Oblivion I am looking right at you -- it's easier to go to the next greatest thing.™

Should I feel bad about wasting so much ramen?
