Why i've stopped playing video games, so much.

[wolven7]

Sponge - [Plowed]--- They anger me. And i don't mean frustration, i mean, repeated failings, and anger. I allow them to get to me, and i have, since i was little, and couldn't beat areas on Super Mario Bros. games... I want to beat them, and i want to move on, but the constant fucking up... Slaughtering death. That kind of thing. Always hated losing, especially when people were watching.

This may be a day of mixed emotions, WOLVEN. On the one hand you are likely filled with a strong sense of wanderlust. There's a great big world out there, and you are anxious to see more of it. On the other hand, there is something to be said for "nesting" at home with your loved one. It is possible to fulfill both these desires. Why not try and find a cozy inn in some part of the country that you've been eager to explore? Get a room with a fireplace and let the "nesting" begin!

Static-X - [Cold]--- On the other hand, meaning having nothing to do with the pathetic premise of this entry, this is the first time my horror scope has been that near to correct, in a long time.

Voltaire - Hello Cruel World

Oddly enough yours is way closer to the day I had than mine was. I spent all day feeling like crap and staying in bed, but half wanting to go out and do things. I still want to, my brain keeps telling me to steal the car and go to waffle house or something. Of course I'm highly medicated and this is a silly suggestion.

As far as games are concerned, I used to be a very dramatic player. I would get so upset if I died/lost and while I still am that way, I've definitely toned down a lot. I do still loathe losing when people are watching me though.

Next friday, if/when I pass my driving test I'll drive you around a ton. I have a big van, it can go forever. I sincerly want to paint it like the Mystery Machine but my mum would cut my head off.

Thanks, but it's not the same urge as wanting to Go somewhere. I want to DRIVE. I want to get in a car, and drive.

Different set of relaxxations...

Ah, understood. I actually prefer being driven myself, more relaxing than having to deal with traffic/bastard drivers in GA.

I'm not talking about during the day... I want to drive at night, on empty roads.

It makes me feel very at peace.

Yeah, I stopped caring about the actual difficulty of games long ago. I just wanna beat them, now.

Unless I actually like the way the "challenge" is implemented. Then I'll actually put forth the effort to keep playing. Not many games seem to be able to do that for me, lately. Yu can really only play so many types of games before you burn out on 'em. 'Swhy I still play Wipeout XL more than any other from the series. You can only play so many FPSs/racers/platformers before you think to yourself, "why am I trying so hard?"

Ninja Gaiden is fucking Aggravating. Really. Fucking. Aggravating.

That's all i have to say, there.

I got past the first boss, and then...Got to the second and learned that the system was designed such that you could run out of recovery items and simply not be able to acquire any more.
