Well, I guess I've outplayed everything there is to play. I've done everything there is to do for MCXBLA, even built a 100x100x20 + 75x75x20+50x50x50 underground city, and then turned it into a maze, and then back into a city. The redstone stuff I have used to be so awesome, now it's just, "meh", like a computer, or a 3x3 double door that is activated by a t-flip flop half the map away that can be indicated if it's open/close next to the button by a simple block switcher with green and red wool. Or a main world that I literally built everything there was to build, a remake of a zombie map, a city, a forest full of tree houses, an underwater city, and underground city, entire map covered by bedrock so there is no day time just nighttime, and then deleted it and did it all again... All CoDs have become boring. I still play zombies, and still am trying to beat my round 216 solo record for zombies (that was back in black ops 1 shi no numa)... I've done all the achievements for skyrim and have 3 level 100+ characters... I have every achievement for black ops 2 except for that campaign one where you complete all the challenges, I've played the original bioshock on hard about 10 times. Gotten all the achievements for Fable 3. Achieved prestige master and unlocked every single thing there was to (all challenges, camos, etc) and then set my K/D back to 0.00 using a rpg on myself thousands of times. Then reset my stats and have almost done the same thing again. Battlefield 3 premium just feels like the same thing everytime I play it...
I am so BORED... I've wasted hundreds worths of hours in my life on all this, why does it seem so un-interesting now?????????
Anybody have ANY idea of what I can do? I like doing things that aren't videogames and often aren't, but, I like videogames a lot and just, now it's seems all boring.

Religion, has actually convinced people, that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of the day, and the invisible man has a special list. Of 10 things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do ANY of these ten things he has a special place, full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and will send you there to suffer and choke and scream for all of eternity... But he still loves you.
Get outside and play some sports and maybe 'occasionaly' play MC again
Incase you didn't read my post, I usually am not playing video games,

In case you didnt read your own post, there is no way anybody could acheive even one of those things unless all they did was sit infront a tv for thousands of hours. I highly doubt you even did most, if any, of the things you stated above.
Somebody above suggested "find a new game". Well, what about "find an old game"? Some of the 1980's classic games were great, and can still be played in DOSbox or with emulators, such as the Atari800. I can recommend some great older games like Alternate Reality, the Ultima series, Temple of Asphai, and many more. Check out RetroGames.co.uk for a huge list of older games.
Hi, I'm Augur and I'm from New Zealand (NZ). Just call me "Augur". I'm an older person playing Minecraft Xbox 360 Legacy Console Edition without Xbox Gold (no online gaming, sorry), so please don't hate on the old. 😄
Boredom is an internally generated state of mind solvable by yourself but seldom solvable by others. While boredom with a single thing is quite natural, boredom with everything can indicate onsetting depression and become a serious problem.
I don't know how old you are. If you're older, this article might be of help:
"How, then, can we change our mindset so that the boring becomes interesting? It begins with a recognition that every circumstance, every activity, contains within it the potential to yield value, either to us or to someone else. If we insist on always being passively entertained by life, we'll find ourselves bored by much of it. On the other hand, if we can transform that expectation into a determination to make an effort to create value at every moment, we can begin to make even the most mundane experience interesting."
When learning something, it's easy for me to get interested in it... even obsessively; but when that time passes and it seems like there is nothing else to learn, I can start to feel really bored with it. At that point, teaching what I've learned to someone else often breathes new interest in the activity for me. In addition, teaching others often leads to me learning even more "stuff" about the thing I thought I knew everything about because learning is actually a life-long experience.
I Wish! I had that kind of time.. Just finally hit prestige master. Had the game since when Nov? on BO2. I got a 7yr old. A Job..
You, good sir... I semi Envy your ability to play the crap out of these games.. but at the same time I don't.
With other responsibilities.. gaming will always be a good escape from all else..
Take a break from all video games for a few weeks and once you do, go back to playing, but only play for an hour or two a day, so you dont burn out so quickly.

No.. for those that read your post.. you appear to ALWAYS be playing video games..
A couple edits, but basically I couldn't have said it better
Im going to advise if your of an age to understand. Get a girlfriend i mean you'll probably spend all the time you can with her to the point you wont even think of videogames unless your completely bored with nothing else to do.
Ya maybe lay off games for a bit, a lot of bit. Get a job and only play games for an hour or two. Get into a nice long game thatll take awhile but still be entertaining, and play it in moderation
1. If you are looking for a video game response, then if you don't have already, get Borderlands 2. I heard that game has great RPG and the multiplayer is quite fun. Plus, you might like the idea of leveling up. Skyrim is the same thing. Just single-player restricted and more in the medieval time kind of thing.
2. Take you Xbox 360 and whatever you play on. Unplug everything and put in the closet. Close the closet. There you go. Now you still you got a great day in front of you. Take advantage of it instead of trying to complete everything. If you are tempted to play Xbox in your free time, and you know that you will get bored in a matter of seconds, then just resist and go to sleep. Then when you finally think you have faded away from video games...come back and enjoy them.
2- destroy everything. Your xbox, games, accounts etc. Set a new goal for an activity that you have never done before. Get your pilots license or take a class hand dig a well. Then go back to your games. They will be fresh and new.
or
3- spend some time in a country where life expectancy is 35 and disease runs rampant and your next meal is a difficult obstacle everyday.
or
4- cut your power off, get rid of the TV, cut off the water, etc. and live like that for 30 days. That will give you a new perspective.
All those suggested half-way measures are not going to work in the long run. Bored people in rich developed countries just need to know what the rest of the world faces daily. The miracle of having water coming from a faucet in the kitchen should not be underestimated. 99% of history has not had that one miracle and most of the world still doesn't.
Ever listened to music? If not that, try other games, like Smash Bros Brawl (Wii), Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater (X360, PS3, Vita, PS2, & 3DS), & Bastion (X360, PC). Cave Story (Wii, 3DS, DS, & PC), & VVVVVV (3DS & PC), are some other good retro style games as well.

Look for a new game.
Sounds like you need a new challenge, a new Goal In Life.
How about getting shot by an irate husband?
Naw, forget that. It's too painful.

Here's a key quote from it:

1- play drunk
