Now i love games, i spend a lot of my money on them, infact i waste a lot of my money on them, i buy new gam,es, they are bad, but i take them back late and loose so much money, well i havn't lately, i have been good.

I go through spells where i can't get off a game, play it all the time, think about it etc, but then in games there are those little annoying things that make it not fun, firstly why are they in there, it mkaes no sense, like on MOH when you get to the end of a long level and die, you get put off.

It is not just getting annoyed but sometimes i just don't play my Ps2, GBA or GC, either i have no games or i am knackered from school etc, do any of you find that you go through spells and at times find you come back to your console and it has dust onit, well my mum cleans it heh, but mine do sometimes go unloved for a while.

They should sort these little things out, i.e. put checkpoints in MOH:F and other things like not making bosses too hard, it takes the fun out and then i go off the game, happen to any of you?

With new age machines this is not really as much of a problem as it used to be, what with the introduction of memory cards. This is irritating for me when I play on the older machines on platform games like Sonic and things like that. In order to complete the game you had to play it all the way through without turning the machine off. That's all well and good as the games only had a few hours of gameplay, but even then it got boring and you just didn't want to play for that long. So you turn the TV off and keep the machine on. I've done this a few times...never again. By doing this I nearly set my room ablaze several times, as the transformer overheated, shortcircuited and pretty much blew up. So I think we should count ourselves lucky now that at least we can save the damn games.

Happens all the time, not because I don't enjoy them but I know I can't put aside the few hours I want to throw myself into a game. Its ashame and I don't want to go sit on something like Resident Evil for ten minutes, its not worth it. Thats why there should be 35 hour days and humans should evolve to only need sleep for 4 hours.

For me ever if the RPG game is brand new I would play it as soon as I got it but if there was a part that I could not get past and tried many times I would go nuts and turn the computer of leaving it for a couple of days to come back fresh adntry it again.Also if you are really far without you saving and die by some easy little monster that normally you would of destroyed first go I go into a vioent rage at the computer normally the combo of kicking and shout foul lanuage at the machine.
