I thought that being emotionally involved was part of really enjoying the game ??[/QUOTE]Yeah, but i don't go smacking my monitor when things don't go as i want, unlike some other people i know ! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

That game actually left me close to having a few tears roll down my cheeks. It was actually really rather sad....

I have thrown the PS2 joypad half way across the room in temper when I have either died for the thirtieth time or have found that something is too hard for me to do.

The names I have called my characters in some of my games are unprintable, especially in BGII SoA where the characters have totally ignored what I have asked them to do.

My boyfriend is used to me yelling at the monitor, DO AS YOU ARE BLOODY TOLD WILL YOU!!! at em. or SILLY B..... WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING.

LOL I am sure my neighbours think I am shouting at my boyfriend. They look at me funny when I say I was playing a game and shouting at it.

Never got upset or cried at the storyline or anything, I just get frustrated at my own ineptitude sometimes. So I take a deep breath, make a cuppa coffee and go back to it later. Invariably if it is something I am having trouble doing, after the break I go back and do it right.

You do get very immersed in the storyline though.

Matter of taste, I suppose... Some people think diablo is great and planescape is sad, and others (like me) think it's exactly the other way around. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
