Screw It: Geometry Wars


I've never said the F word more times in my entire life. This game is f*^king impossible. While I have gotten noticeably better since I've started playing, I am probably a good full month's worth of practice away from reaching a million points. So I'm bending my own rules a little bit and taking the advice of a fellow blogger. I'm gonna put Geometry Wars back on the shelf for the time being, play a few more games and come back to it fresh.

I realized tonight in between cursing my head off and permanently damaging my controller (due to multiple spikes) that I wasn't having fun anymore. Up until now, I've had fun playing every game - even Donkey Kong Country in a kind of backwards sadistic way. Geometry Wars is enjoyable until you crest 100,000 - then it becomes a survival test. Like a real life survival test. Will you actually kill yourself due to frustration? That's what Geo Wars threatens you with.

So for now, I'm moving on. See you in a couple months Geometry Wars. You f&*king bastard.
