I regularly suffer burnout when it comes to a hobby of mine. I quit writing for my first fandom (fanfiction) after a year and a half - cold turkey. I just got bored. I quit doing fanart after almost a year - same thing, sudden boredom and I walked away. I expected to get it with amvs within my first year, but I think this one may last longer since I have a wide range of anime and songs that I'd like to see certain amvs made for. But I still expect to get bored eventually and just quit. That's how I do a hobby - I drive it into the dirt and walk away while the dust settles.

I'm not burned out; I still have a number of ideas. I just can't get motivated enough to actually <i>work</i> on them often enough that they actually get finished in any amount of time. It's so much easier to just blow time playing Yahoo! MahJongg Solitaire or Settlers of Catan for DOS.

Specifically, that collaborative video that Cyanna and I have been talking about for the past two weeks -- I'm having trouble getting started on it.

Perhaps it's for the same reasons that I'm also having trouble getting started on my 2-credit independent study this semester.

I burninate the countryside whenever I feel a lack of ideas. I wonder if that counts.

I can't remember exactly where I got my version, but it was ported from the German. Try this page, it looks like it's probably got it: http://txe.swa.com/games/catan.htm

Now then, where can I find this online version you mentioned?

I was suffering from an editing burnout just a few moments ago. Whatever I edited just seemed boring and worthless. I was thinking of concentrating more on my studios' matters.
But then a huge inspiration striked me from the shadows and I got over it.
