One thing that always torments me in a small way is that often when I'm playing a game and I hit something, i.e. a boss, that I'm having major issues with, I notice a pattern:
Part 1: I try, try, try, try, try...-five days later- try again, and fail no matter how much I try it, no matter what different methods/tricks/what have you that I use.
Part 2: I start getting pissed off at the game and yelling at it, calling it a "cheating piece of s**t."
Part 3: I chuck the controller or handheld onto my bed or just close it/turn it off while trying not to burst a blood vessel and don't play it for a while afterward, sometimes anywhere from days to months to even years.
Final Part: I play it again and get hooked once more, hit that very same spot/boss, and have NO TROUBLE BEATING IT WHATSOEVER.
I don't understand how I can have hell beating something one time, then suddenly go back, try it again after a while, and beat it without a flaw. It

I've had that happen to me so many times it's not even funny. I've also had it reversed - I'll finish a game easily without any problems. A year or so later I'll play it again and have the hardest time with it! Mind boggling

Professional Raver I've had that happen to me so many times it's not even funny. I've also had it reversed - I'll finish a game easily without any problems. A year or so later I'll play it again and have the hardest time with it! Mind boggling I know, right? It's insane. One of the mysteries of gaming, I suppose.

one game where when I came back to it and it was harder was golden eye rogue agent. Also dragon ball z tenkaichi 2, but thats because its controls are complex and original. Also on 007 nightfire I used to win constantly, I even did a 180 noscope with a sniper rifle when my brother was a dot on the screen once lol. But now its whoever gets the rocketlauncher wins lol. I loved being a kid though exploring new games trying to best someone when you dont know the environment well.
Also once I was crazy and playing final fantasy 9, I swear my bro tried to get it to work (cd is scratched) like 20 times and On my first try I act wierd putting it in then it worked lol. And I was crazy at the time, so mind you, I was using zidane saying 'What's That!!!' to bosses even if it didnt work. And I thought after the levels started to get trippy and s**t was that all of the abilities were changing over time making it an impossible game, like jelly prevents stone or something as an auto ability, and I thought itd change over time to something like, reduces physical damage, or something. God I was whacked lol, but Im sure now itd be easier lol.
Also me being older, of course games like ninja gaiden 2 and 3 are going to be much simpler for me, same with battletoads. Yup nintendo games those are. I can never beat level 11 or 12, 11 is harder. But as a kid I could never make it past level 3. Not in a thousand years as a kid lol.
