Video Game Addiction?

I sit here finishing hour 5 of playing Super Mario 2 – The Lost Levels.

After playing level 5-1 through 5-4 for the last hour and a half I am setting my controller down and retiring for the night..err.morning.

This game is hard as shit and gives the player a false sense of hope and very little gratification.

The idea that this game takes the hardest parts of the original SMB game and implements them as essential game play in every level is total BS, but somehow addicting as crack cocaine. Or so I have heard.

My feelings re-enacted.

Fat kid on Billy Madison : ” I can’t wait to play the real Super Mario Brothers 2″

Psycho Frisby version of Billy Madison: “Don’t you say that. Don’t you ever say that. Never play SMB2 The Lost Levels. Play the original as long as you can. You have to cherish it.”
