This article is hilarious. Especially when I read the part 4, I just cann't help bursting into laughs.
Top 5 "Made Me Mad" Pains when playing games
From Hello, Benjamin
1) BSOD (Blue screen of death)
You experienced this before didnt you? BSOD could easily piss you off, probably making you out of mind and behave as a psychopath especially when you are playing games. Maybe at that time you are just going to get your loot, casting a debuff to your enemy, trading with someone else or even flirting with a nice girl/guy, the screen pops up on Microsoft in a sudden, delare you can get a break now. You absolutely do nothing wrong, even Bill Gates knows it, anyways unfortunately you have no choice but to reboot your computer. You also have to learn anger manaement so that you can get over the unreasonable accident to cool yourself before doing something bad to your keyboard or monitor...
2) Power Off
it happens just unexpectedly, your house gets murky in a single second and all your excitement and passion on games lose the possibility to hang on so quickly that they brake inside your heart then explode from your mouth, like WHAT THE F*CK !!! You probably dont know how to react to the emergency at frist, what you care is like, hey, have I saved my progress so far? Are you kidding im raiding the instance!
3) Save loss
Another high rate of pain ever, especially for a video gamer. Each piece of the saves means a lot, it may be a milestone of your combos record in a fighting game, it can be a memorable ending of an epic RPG game. No doubt Lost means shame to a hardcore gamer, the pain that you never regain a chance to go over your brilliant records again will bite you heart time by time, at least for a long period, it won't disappear...
4) "It's Time Now, Tom"
- It's time now, Tom
- Just a few seconds, Mom.
2 minutes later
- Tom?
- I'm coming-------(come on, where's the save spot!!)
3 minutes later
- You really don't want to piss me off, do you? (appears in front of the door)
- Just a few seconds....Oh, Ohh, Ohhh w...wait, Mom!! (powers get cut...)
5) ill buttons
These small errors exist sometime, it's no big deal to get fixed, you just repair the keyboard or joystick, even change a new one. But it really drives you crazy when you get back from school or work, try to have fun, you find out there're some problems with your keyboard or joystick, what you get is the endlessly unconfortable control of your gaming character. However we always ignore the reason why it happens, even worse, we abreact the anger of unconfortable controlling again and again to josystick or keyboard, that is really a vicious circle..
1.) BSOD is usually indicative of a hardware issue or bad driver (I have not seen one for about 9 months on my machine XPpro)
2.) Buy a UPS, I have one for every PC in the house (more than 5)
3.) I mostly play MMOs, I can't save
4.) I'm 42, my mother lives in a different state, I can play till I fall asleep (and have)
5.) I have extra mice and keyboards, and usb devices can be swapped "on the fly", I only have one joystick (3 years)and one gamepad(4 years), but haven't had any problems in the time I have owned them.
