Allow me:
"Two of the biggest items ever, a fork and a knife, aren't and never have been even the slightest bit interesting to me. I almost feel bad for not caring about them; It seems that almost every person is planning on buying them or already has them, and I'm sure that they have both sold, and will continue to sell millions. I can't make myself care, however, because I know that items of that type always seem to disappoint me.
It never fails: every time I get an item that's not bolted down, I use them like they were designed for for a bit, but then wind up ignoring their intended purpose and simply run around testing the limits of the world. When playing with a spoon, I tend to just see how hard I can jam it into myself and then survive as long as I can. That's fun for a few hours, but after I get done, I really feel no reason to pick it up again.. The same goes for straws. I made it through a juice pack, and after a few sips, chewing on it a bit, and twirling it in my fingers, I felt like I had done everything with it. I still have fun sucking juice with it, but it's so simple it really isn't any real challenge.
Maybe that's my problem with these utensils. I like to see how much of a challenge I can set up for myself very early on, and once I think I can make it out of any situation, any problem that the utensil throws at me in the form of it's designated use becomes uninteresting. How many times can you cut a steak with a knife and still be "cool"? I'll tell you: quite a few, but there is a definite limit.
The types of utensils that have any sort of lasting appeal to me are the ones where it's actual use by itself is fun. I enjoyed the original glass of water because you were almost constantly filling it up, and had a ton of different modes of transportation, but again, I put about 8 hours into it before getting bored with the drinks.
I took some photos with a camera for dozens of hours, just because the snapshot mechanic was so ridiculously fun. The same goes for painting. Once your canvas gets really beefed up, it's literally a blast to go visually jumping across the paint for a few hours, looking for details and touching it up while you do it. (expert tip: play Metallica's new album, The Death Magnetic, alongside painting to make it even more awesome.)
So bringing this back around, I know I would only enjoy fork and kinfe for a short period of time if I got them. Sure, I'd have fun for a day or so figuring out all the cool things the developers have thrown in and discovering the limits of these items, but therein lies the problem: once I find all the limits, the utensil would stop being fun for me. I'd quit doing their designated use, play around for a bit, and then move on to a different item without ever really getting anywhere life-wise.
I understand why people like utensils like Fork, Knife, Spoon, etc. I like them too. They're fun, but for me personally, the experience that I get out of more closed, blunt items like an industrial meatgrinder is always worth more in the end.

Ps: I'm a moron."
See, this makes exactly as much sense as the original post. Dude is complaining he gets bored of the game he isn't playing because he can do other stuff in the game he doesn't really have to... It's like complaining someone gave you a million dollars cause now you felt like giving up your job, friends and family, and now you're bored.
