[[Go on with life|go on with life]]You decide on a relaxing game of 'Mushroom Story'. Nothing is more relaxing than to grind for 2 hours for little to no gain right? Mushroom Story is the perfect game to turn off your brain.
[[Go on with life|go on with life]]You try to calm your nerves with some 'Fall of Duty'. But with all they raging and swearing, it only serves to irritate you. You only manage to play for 20 minutes before it becomes unbearable and quit.
[[Stop playing|Go to your living room]]You decide to play some 'Light Rain'. Playing through the trials reminds you about what you are doing right now. Is this guy planning to drown me with rain? You shudder to think about it.
[[Finish playing|Living2]]You decide to play 'League of Lizards'. This game seems to make you toxic whenever you play it. It makes you wonder why you come back to the game at all. It's such a mystery.
