Sinful Sunday: Dealing with frustration

One of the things people always told me is that you should always keep calm, ignore the frustration and just move on. Of course this is easier said than done and the worst part is that the frustration will stay inside of you making you miserable from the inside. Maybe you deal with frustration every day, do you think it's a good idea to just ignore it or wish it away? I don't think so!


How do you deal with frustration?


First of all I'm not an expert and I definitely don't qualify as someone to tell you how to live your life or what's best for you, but I am someone that has dealt with a lot of frustration in my life and I can tell you that it has never done me any good if I ignored my frustration or tried to put it away. I let the frustration out, if I'm upset then I get mad and let the anger out. Of course not against other people, it's not that if someone frustrates me that I'm going to spit in their face and scream in their ear. No I let the frustration out in games, preferbly games where you can blow off some steam by destroying things or just do something else you can't do in real life. It really makes me feel better after a bad day at school and/or work. I'm not saying that this takes all your problems away but I think it might help you feel a bit better, because keeping frustration bottled up inside you isn't a good idea!


But what if you ignore your frustration?


Then it will eat you up inside, it will tear you apart until you can't take anymore and you burst out in rage. This is something you want to avoid at all costs! I know it's not easy but what also helps if you talk about it with someone you trust, this can be a friend or family member. But maybe you want some professional help, this also helps for some people but it's important that you let this professional help you because if you don't open up he or she can't help you. If you don't feel like talking then perhaps it's a good idea to write or type about it, kind of like your own personal diary. We all process things on our own way and what works for one person doesn't have to work for another. Just don't ignore the frustration, deal with it and it's good to let it out every now and then. You'll feel better afterwards and you can move on with your life.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
