How Many Times In a Video Game

Can you try your luck at something in a video game? Try as many times you can, before you inevitably explode?! In unrelenting anger?!! Especially if you were one step away from the feeling of supremacy, but joined the fallen from one clever AI. Welcome to the world of first-person rage. Make sure you don't equip stronger weapons if you want to keep self-bragging rights when you finally accomplish everything on THAT level. Because if you can't take the difficulty then you have no right to bear the arms awarded by fictional army men and women. How stubborn are you to beat this level? How stubborn was I? Stubborn enough to feel the letdown when trying again the next day. And when I finally heard the sounds of "Mission Complete", I couldn't breathe a sigh of relief any harder than I did right then and there. Now I put down the controller, and wait for my next cold crushing challenge.
