In my dorm room I don't have a TV screen, and so to play on my Gamecube I have to use this really small GC-specific screen. Mostly it's okay, but when playing Ikaruga it's very difficult because everything is so small-looking and so it's a little difficult to make precise movements.
Anyway, in the class-room where I go to there's a projector, and at times I'd connect my GC to it between classes to play a bit for fun with a big screen. So while playing Ikaruga at one point I manage to reach the final boss without dying more than once (might have even been no-miss until then) the other students come back from getting their lunches. Now, when playing there I have to turn off the lights so that I can see what's going on. So one of those that enter suddenly pipes up, saying that he can't eat without the lights turned on, so he turns them on. So I can't see about half the shots coming at me because of the lighting. So I ask him if it would be possible to keep the lights out for about 5 minutes while I finish the game, and if he really needs the light to eat. Of course, he says that indeed he must have the light.
Cue the worst performance against that boss since my 2nd encounter with it. That was very annoying, because now I'm wondering if I could have finished it without using a continue if it hadn't been for that person.
The worst part? The class is about game-design, and he's quite the avid gamer himself.
