Dammit Eugene! Defender, Stargate
« on: May 26, 2020, 06:20:10 am »
Why do I love to play games at which I suck so horrifically?
Like defying the laws of physics and sucking and blowing at the same time-

In fact... I keep making control panels that include these faithful button layouts that could only be considered ergonomically appropriate for an orangutan-
Do I need therapy?

It's like being in love with the little red haired girl, and she will never know that you are alive-
Or having Lucy without fail pull the football out from in front of you- and yet you keep trying to kick the damn thing...

Or it could be the Jim Beam Peach that a friend of mine gave me for helping him put new flooring in his house over the weekend.
I may have had too much already- or maybe it was an hour ago.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools! I can fix it.

Hehe. I set up my cocktail cab to play Defender and I only play it once in a blue moon. Because I too suck at it, but...

Funny you say that, because it was two hours of self-flagellation at my cocktail cab that caused me to lose it last evening.

To make it all that much worse, afterwards it finally occurred to me that replacing the (adjustable) drum stool that I HAD been using with a regular height chair altered my perspective so much that I couldn't shoot straight- greatly exacerbating the masochism.
