Got shot inexplicably behind a wall, even though you know for 100% certain you got behind cover in time? Got dropped by LESS than the required amount of bullets to kill a typical character? Death the very instant you turn a corner and see an enemy who is aware of your presence?
The Answer? Internet latency, especially if you live in areas where the connection is subpar. Probably also accounts for more than half of all of the "OMG HAX" complaints you'll see online.
Raiding an massive dungeon in an RPG or playing Lo L with the expectation that you have the next hour to yourself...And then getting assigned an random chore in the middle of an fight.
Answer no master, never the slave Carry your dreams down into the grave Every heart, like every soul, equal to breakHoping your day of school or work finishes as soon as possible so you can get home and start playing the game you just got.
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!Being so used to the arrow keys that you struggle with WASD controls. Even worse when you're stuck with WASD controls. Thanks a lot, Grand Theft Auto V...

FC: SW-1445-0294-1719/PSN: TekkenGirl4Lyfe/Currently playing: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos HDReal life examples of the Tetris Effect in action: After playing a lot of Katamari Damacy, I found myself "sizing up" objects in real life and wondering if I would be able to roll them up in a katamari. Also, in Batman: Arkham City, there's a sidequest involving destroying every security camera in the city with a batarang - sure enough while I was actively playing it, I started noticing real life security cams more often and feeling as though I needed to aim a batarang at them. Finally, my Player Tic with any Grand Theft Auto game from Grand Theft Auto III onward is walking on top of parked cars, and sure enough, for a while when I saw a row of parked cars in real life I started almost wanting to do the same thing.
Being The Medic in any online game is always hard. Most if not all folks eventually get bitter due to dealing with horrible or ignorant players overtime.

Still a great "screw depression" song even after seven years.The times when you'll have to leave for work/school in half an hour, and you're thinking "just one more match/raid/chapter/whatever you have", and the next time you look at the clock 40 minutes have passed.

Still waiting for someone to break him free...

For me it's making a noise when making a hard jump in an action or platform game, especially when it's over a pit, and seeing little blocks every time I close my eyes after too many block-related games in one sitting.
And needing a save point before you can quit.
