"The pain of gaming"

Lets face it.....sometimes playing games can be more than stressful.
1. When you're playing a game, you're doing really well, and then some stupid idiot comes a long a spoils it for you by killing you (in the game) or destroys a key item.
2. Again, you're doing really well, but you just can't get past a certain bit and you start shouting and hitting yourself.
3. When a game can just be too hard, you never see the light of day again.
4. When you're playing a button bashing game (hrrmmm...Mario Party comes to mind) you're finger starts to crack and bleed, making it seriously painfall (not a rare occurance for me).
5. When a friend beats at a game (probably the worst)
Does this mean gaming could scar you for life, or maybe it just scars you damaged console.

Yeah...I had of my friends round yesterday. He just kept getting killed in Perfect Dark. Every time he died, he kept hitting his head really hard. Dunno why, stupid really.

Hitting yourself?

GAH! Never even heard about it. Hitting yourself pah. I just normally shout, throw the control down, or turn the power on and off really quickly for some reason..

I know what you mean....cut scenes are good...but they get too long, just like in No One Lives Forvever.

Tell me about it dude...The Bouncer had such long cut-scenes that it kept me itching to smash my PS2 into little pieces.

Tony Hawk really tore my fingers up and Silent Hill made me break a controller.

Regarding The pain of gaming, well...my fingers hurt a lot.
Why? Well that's because I have been playing Devil May Cry all evening. Just the simple combos of swords and ammo can be fustrating. Not boring, don't get me wrong. It's merely because I try so hard to make the best looking manoeuvre look so good, that I had so much trouble whilst performing them. At the end, I finally got the hang of it, and as for The pain of gaming...IT HURTS!
