What a pitiful waste of a human life

"So I'd run out of lives and the game would get very fucking cute and say, 'Would you like to play the level with an additional life in return for taking half-points?' Firstly, Feet of Strange Roar, why didn't you tell me that was an option before I went out and embarassed myself? And two: Save your charity for fucking tax season! I know myself, and I know what would happen if I had one extra life: I'd get overconfident and swiftly lose it by doing something stupid, like falling off a ledge or forgetting to breathe."

"Now, I never reviewed Dark Souls, because other titles were out and my playtime was limited — and every time I sat down to it, it was like walking into a dark shed full of rakes, immediately treading on one and getting BLAT!-ered in the face. Other people with more time on their hands started telling me it was the greatest thing since tummy rubs, so I'd go back in the shed thinking, 'Well, maybe there was just the one rake', before BLAT! in the face again. So I left it for awhile, but this week, with plenty of free time in my schedule I thought to myself, 'Last chance, I'll just keep tanking the rakes and maybe I'll somehow become really psychotically into being rake-faced just in time to be prepared for the sequel.'"

"What the fuck just happened? (Happened)
Great now I’m stuck here on the ice!
And my coat’s fucking gone (it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone)
Fucking dammit, I just froze to death"

"Skippy sank in lava, Corwin turned to slime,
They could both see what was coming but they couldn't pray in time.
Pinky fought a soldier ant that crawled out of his backpack
They were all in love with dyin', they were doing it in NetHack.
Bertha swung Mjollnir like a Valkyrie in the rain,
Then she lost her mind in Sokoban; a flayer ate her brain.
They were all in love with dyin', usin' every keyboard function,
As they tried to find the Amulet, somewhere in the dungeon."
