Pictures...so much louder than words.
I'm so PISSED right now because I'm working on a painting that isn't coming together. For some reason, I can't see it properly in my head.

The Smiley Face from
Berzerk.
Impossible Mission. And they don't tell you that it's actually twice as impossible trying to solve COLOR PUZZLES ON A MONOCHROME MONITOR.
Trying to disarm every mother-frazzin' stick of dynamite in
TMNT for the NES.
Dumping twenty dollars worth of quarters into Terminator 2: The Arcade Game, and still LOSING.
What's the sound of 70 hours of gameplay being flushed down the toilet because of a faulty CD and game card? Silence. You never even notice it passing.
Getting murdered
repeatedly in
Dragon's Lair, because I GOT SUCKERED BY THE GRAPHICS.
Oh god, don't even get me started on the
Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy text adventure.
Getting wasted by Princess Mariko in
Karateka. AFTER BEATING UP FIFTEEN ZILLION FREAKIN' GUARDS AND ONE DETERMINED EAGLE.
And finally...
THAT DOG! THAT MOTHER FUCKING DOG FROM
DUCK HUNT!!!
Haven't heard of that emulator, but to be fair, I'm not very savvy in that world.
