Just when you thought that you had a quiet thirty minutes to yourself to play a game, your worst nightmare comes true!
Through the door and with only one thing on its mind, the vacuum cleaner piles towards you screaming its annoying shriek and trying to put you off of your game!
Built merely to annoy you, this machine has no other purpose. Your mother will get great thrills from running this thing around the house all day, trying to wake you up in the morning and disturb you at night. The most active time of this ‘predator of fun’ though is when you have some quiet gaming time to yourself…
You sit down and start playing; you get to a part that involves great skill and concentration. Just as you are about to get to the end of it, with your eyes bleeding from the strain of not being able to blink and with your mouth dribbling due to all of your concentration being on the game, this thing will pile in around the door and head straight towards you. There is no point in trying to save yourself; this evil creature will use one of its many attack methods to make sure that it does the ultimate in damage.
Be it the almighty battering ram attack or the gentle ‘suck off your feet’ attack, you know this creature is going to wreck total chaos on your game and ruin any chances you had at completing it! Most people come out of the attacks to tell the horrible stories of missed chances and failed missions but a few have paid the ultimate price and have had to receive counselling after receiving up to 90% full console lost saves.
There are ways to defend yourself again this creature though, the best method is to sit by the plug socket and as the creature gets near to you, flick the self destruct button on the socket, the creature will run out of its energy and will grind to a halt in front of you. Another way, although this can result in the creature using its secret weapon, ‘mum,’ will be to repeatedly hit it with a metal pole. Although this will disable the creature, you will have to fight off the ‘mum’ that will be released to hunt you down and kill you. The ‘mum’ is very protective of this creature and the chances of survival of surviving this horror are slim to none.
If you ever have to encounter this though, may all our hearts be with you because it will be a truly traumatic experience…

LOL!!
Torticollis - the first time I read your reply I read it as, "It was really tense and a zombie jumped out of his mum"

I know what you mean.. I was playing resi at my friends, at a really tense moment, then instead of a zombie jumping out, his mum came in and started hoovering... Gave me the fright of my life.
I hate doing this but...
P...P...P....P...Pop...

Its worse when its a TV programme you really like and your mam goes in front of the TV with the hoover and you can hear it.
