like why do you buy games, or even play games? the types of losses that start making you think about real life losses.

just got knocked out cold in fight night champion in round 12 and i'm like 'this can't be life' :(

I played that part in Super Mario Sunshine on the theme park world where you have to climb the back of a rollercoaster and the camera gets real jacked; basically was a step away from hanging myself.

I don't rage unless I feel the game is badly designed, when it gets bad I sell the game. (MW2 and BO)

When I'm sober I rarely 'lose' and when I'm drunk I don't really care.

I don't start reevaluating life, just why in the hell did I get the game in the first place. I do it far less because I usually rent to own, at least on the consoles. They immediately go back in the mail. No love lost.

Chief among things that will immediately make me stop playing a game is bad controls and /or camera.

No, I have a life outside of a silly hobby and don't take it for more than it's worth :P

Though I did die to the first Goomba in Super Mario Bros 1-1 last night... I am quite shamed.

Kind of. Sometime after 2006, there was a point where I realized that I wasn't getting any younger, my reflexes weren't getting any better, and I wasn't able to keep up with the amount of time that the rest of the multiplayer world was putting in. Not long after that, streaks and unlocks started showing up in every single game, which didn't help matters. I wouldn't go so far as to say I reevaluated my life, but it certainly killed off most of the interest I had in multiplayer.

True story. :lol:

But yeah, if a game does end up owning me pretty bad, I rage for a bit & go do something else for a bit to cool off.

Yeah, When I played Kingdom Hearts 1 I was like 10 at the time and got to Sephiroth. I was speeding through the game not killing enemies and not leveling up so I wasnt a high level and got killed in like .00123 seconds. I've still yet to recover even after beating him.

OMG, Kingdom Hearts made me rage so hard when I was a kid. I got stuck on the Alice in Wonderland world for MONTHS and I didn't know what to do, I literally threw the game in the garbage and never looked back.

Sephiroth aside I got stuck in Monstro because my t.v was messed up and the brighness was too dark so it was pitch black.

Then I got to Riku boss battle and got stuck for like weeks playing every day.

After I won I finally ran into the chrnabog for months I was stuck.

I started when I was 10 and I didnt beat it untill like the beginning of 8th grade so like almost 3 years. Im 18 now and still get intimidated replaying it.

I'll tell you when you should start reevaluating your life. When you earned a bachelors, and it's pointless. Then your stuck working at Burger King.

No because I don't let my gaming triumphs and failures define who I am in real life. You shouldn't let things like that get you down. Instead of getting upset about it, look at it as a valuable lesson. Learn patience and look at your gaming problems from different angles, then with a peaceful and focused mind you can break through the walls that hold you back!

I used to play FFXI and was obsessed with getting some stupid item to drop from some Notorious Monster. No matter how many times I would kill the monster the item would never drop. I would get angry and furious over it. And then one day I thought real hard about my life and canceled my subscription. I've been an awesomer person ever since then.

I almost NEVER play competetive, when I do, I get more annoyed by stuff like people always using Ken in SSFIV, over actually losing. I play games to chill, and I do a lot of chilling.

I started FFXI a few times, but somewhere around early to mid 20s, I would always quit. I liked the game, but I felt it needed more modernization. Too bad FF14 was so bad.

I mostly get that after I beat a game (sort of like "wow...I spent all these hours playing a game when I could've done something...meaningful." :P). Then there's those moments of self-loathing when I reach the level cap in an MMORPG where I look in the mirror and reflect on those moments where I could've been a doctor, or a lawyer...but no. I'm sitting in my room all that time spending all those days behind my computer accomplishing the kind of pride that's utterly fictional :P.
