Frustration

By Paul | August 16, 2006

Gaming is not perfection every time you pick up a controller, but how do you get past the frustration, the irritation of making all the wrong moves? Some days can literally be the top of your game, pulling off moves on the Mario Kart track that would make Michael Schumacher proud, and others can be just the downright crazed hell that is Tetris past level 20.

It gets late, you get tired, you start to make mistakes. Any normal person would just stop and go to bed or something, but, well, I know how us gamers are. We’ll push through it, we’ll bring it to the next level.

What do you like to do to get past that brain fart, when a game just either is really damned hard (Ikaruga anyone?), that other CS:S player is an “AIMBOT” or something just isn’t meshing between brain and fingers? What’s your best way to get the frustration out?
