When you are in the middle of playing an intense video game, and something forces you to quit. For example your mom, girlfriend, bad connection, or asshole friend. You feel like shit because you didn't get to finish the job.
Dude I was just about to get my nuke in modern warfare 2 but my mom turned off my xbox. Total video game blue balls.
I was one kill away from getting a killionaire in halo and my connection timed out. Left me with a case of video game blue balls.

The Gaming Blues is a term used to describe the feeling of not wanting to play the games you usually play. This can often be considered Burnout, but whereas Burnout is what you feel for a certain game, or type of game, the Gaming Blues is essentially a Pause in your gaming routine.
If the games you usually play start to feel like a chore, or you don’t feel as satisfied to complete them, then you could be in the beginning stages of it.
Getting the Gaming Blues is not the end. Because you might need a detox, or a new experience to get you back into enjoying games again.
Friend: Hey bro, wanna hop on, do some Duos?
You: Nah man. I think I’ve got a case of the Gaming Blues, so I’m not really up for that.
