Hype Effect

An effect which occurs when one is anticipating an upcoming game. The need becomes so great that other games become dull and boring in comparison. In more serious cases it can affect the viewing of television programmes, making them seem less interesting as well. In the most severe cases it can affect the viewing of pornography in the same way.

The hype effect is kicking in. Nothing is fun anymore. Not Netflix, not even Pokémon. I can't go on like this.
