Let me just say first that you have awesome music taste. lol.

But yes, I go through this often as well. For me, I tend to find shows or games that I will become totally obsessed with for a period of time before moving on to a different show or game. I feel like I need to do it. I don't know, maybe just to escape my every day thoughts and feelings. It can become kind of ridiculous, because I could have a million important things to do and feel like I don't have the time because I have to watch the show or play the game. I just can't pull myself away or it causes me a great amount of distress. A lot of the time, most of the time actually, I will have the show on in the background while I play the game. Even if I've watched the show over and over already, just having it in the background. Something about the familiarity and the noise makes me feel not so lonely. Even when I'm bored of the show or the game I will still do it just because I don't want to go through the effort of trying to think of something else to do, or even find a new show to watch or game to play. In fact, when I'm really deep into it I find doing anything but that can be very distressful... Until eventually I get so sick of it and depressed by it that I am forced to come out of it and do something else... like talk to other human beings. :/

Which is kind of where I'm at right now. Just spent the past couple weeks cycling between Skyrim and SimCity Societies, and Kitchen Nightmares and Orange is the New Black. I'm bored of them all and taking a break to try to actually do something constructive. I doubt it will last long though. My sister got me into watching Intervention the other day. That **** makes me cry like a baby, but I think it might be my next binge... ._.
