There's nothing worse than getting stuck half-way through a game, and then giving up. It becomes tedious, but no more! Introducing Dial-A-Gamer, the revolutionary step forward in completing video games!
Let's look at some scenarios:
Scenario 1
Barry: Argh, Damn you John! I finally get past that damned level, when you stick an even harder one in my face! It's the last time I play Die Hard!
Friend: Whoa Barry, hold on, give Dial-A-Gamer a call!
*Rings*
Barry: Hi, I'm stuck on Die Hard Vendetta, and I need H-E-L-P!
DAG: Hold on Barry, we'll be over in 30 minutes, or we'll buy you a pizza free!
*29 minutes later*
DAG: Hi, we understand there's a disturbance in your leisure time. What seems to be the problem?
Barry: It's that Goddamned tuna factory level. It's just too hard!
DAG: Hand me my instrument…
*Hands over controller*
DAG: Stand back, and let the pro's handle this one!
*seconds later*
DAG: There we go, problem solved! I'll be seeing you, then!
Barry: Gee, thanks!
"That's what's so good about Dial-A-Gamer. I called, and within 20 minutes I was kicking butt on the next level. No more unfinished games for me, Dial-A-Gamer saved my life!"

Armed with trusty moped, knowledge of games and a free pizza coupon in the unlikely event that he's late, one of our specially-trained staff will tackled your problems head on, and give your games a lease of new life! Let's have a look at Scenario 2!
Scenario 2
Sheldon: Er, excuse me sir, I'd like to return this game.
Employee: What's the problem with it?
Sheldon: It requires quick reactions and repeated button smashing- something my nerdo fingers cannot handle.
Employee: Ok, hold on a minute…
*In a quiet part of the store*
DAG: Hmmm… Microsoft Train Simulator or Metroid Prime, hmmm… WHAT? Did I just hear the correctly? *Legs it across store*
Sheldon: I've never been this long away from my computer before, I hope it's alright… *Shakes*
DAG: Withdrawal symptoms?
Sheldon: Argh!
DAG: Never fear, give me that game and let's head back to your house, where we can finish that game of yours…
Sheldon: OK then, Neato!
*After a while*
DAG: There you go, carry on with your game, son! And remember, to avoid blisters, always wear gloves! My job here is done!
Sheldon: *Slides glasses up nose* Neato! Thanks!
"Dial-A-Gamer turned my life around! I went from little-interest geek to video game expert!"
DAG: Remember kids, always complete your games. If, however, they're too hard, give me a call!
===========
In all honestly, I don't actually know what to say. Let's just class this as boredom…
Thanks, if you read it, and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't… :D

Thats as far as I got with it, I traded with with Ashman for NHL Hitz, a much better game I recon!

If I can admit that it sucked, you can too Gerrid!
:D

So poor.
But not really.
Well a little bit.
But not really.
Well a little bit.
It is strange, the chaair. I always remember reading things out in class, I feel more releaxed sitting on a chair rather than standing up. Less attention, I guess.
Glad to hear it went well FFF. Good luck with the rest of your GCSEs. :)

Twas funny, a bit.

Not too bad thankee Chipseh.
I sat on a chair, which made it much less nerve-racking for some reason.
*Crosses fingers*
Hopefully I'll never have to do that again.

Interesting WS. That's actually a really good idea.
Either that or grab some random people off of the streets.
And FFF, how did the speech go? :)

Unfortunatly I think you've been beaten to it.
By these things called 'cheats'.
Now what would be good, is dial-a-mate. So you could ring up and get 1-3 people sent round to play multi-player with you, or just to fill in as a fourth if you have two friends round. That and I would actually get some competition, I'm so much better than my friends...

This is suprisingly realistic for me.
I often rent out my gaming services becuase most of the people I know are moronic casual fanboys.
A deal's goinf down now - £5 to the The Driver in Vice City.
Easy money!
