This is more of an existential despair quit than a rage quit, then. Stupid random rule! After that, I calmed down a bit, and have tried to limit the amount of hardware I throw or break. And as a younger man, for a terrible non-PC example, I even broke a friend's PSone because I lost my Ifrit card in Final Fantasy VIII's Triple Triad mode. Where to start with my history of rage quitting? I uninstalled Rocket League at least four times in a tantrum last year, which is embarrassing for a man in his late 20s. Samuel Roberts: The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Steam tells me I've played the game for 142 hours, without beating it. Yeah, I could have looked up the console command for God Mode, but the sad thing is, I don't have a desire to go back. I rage quit Fallout 4, and other than benchmarking, I stopped playing. I was angry-angry at the game, angry at myself, and angry at the world. The entire building had taken a while to clear out, and my previous save was from a couple hours earlier. I reloaded my last save, which was right as I exited the building, and promptly died again. My sliver of health was gone in a second. I ran to the exit, and on appearing outside there was a group of raiders waiting for me. I fell victim to this in Fallout 4, where I was in a battle inside a building and was nearly dead. You can get comfortable not worrying about saves, but occasionally you go a long time in a game without triggering an auto-save, and/or you rely too much on quick save. Flash forward to the modern era and we have a different problem: people relying too much on either auto-saves or quick saves. You failed to do so at your own peril, which naturally everyone did at some point or another. The mantra in the 80s and 90s was 'Save early, save often,' coined by Sierra On-Line. But irrationality is the very essence of a good rage quit. My time with Dark Souls was over at that moment, even though I knew I was being an irrational baby. I know there's a fairly easy way to cure this, but I was overcome with blind fury and switched the game off in a sudden rage. And almost as soon as I stepped into the stinking Depths, one of them cursed me, reducing the size of my health bar. A dank, unpleasant sewer full of giant frog bastards called basilisks. And it worked.įull of adrenaline, I immediately dashed to the next area of the game, the Depths. Side note: the music in that boss fight was stressing me out so much I had to put Kenny Loggins on in a mad attempt to make ol' Capra seem less threatening. A minor achievement, sure, but a massive one for me. But I persevered with the original Dark Souls, getting as far as beating the Capra Demon.

Any game that involves repeating something over and over again to get good at it really turns me off. And not because they're difficult it's because I have no patience. I finished the third game, and I'm not quite sure how I managed it, but the first two? Not for me. The poorness of Magma Rager has inspired various tributes and efforts, such as attempts to create a competitive deck containing Magma Rager.I don't get on with Dark Souls.However, the definition of power creep requires a better version of an already good card, while Magma Rager was and always has been a weak card, seeing no play in any competitive decks. As directly superior version of Magma Ragers, subsequent Ragers such as Ice Rager and Shadow Rager have been cited by some a clear examples of power creep.The elemental forces are ageless and unchanging. Still others appear independent from any greater master, acting as individual beings. Others are native to the world of Azeroth, bound to the state of their surroundings as representations of the elemental spirits. Elementals are an incredibly varied group Some are bound to distant realms known as the Elemental Planes and are usually servants of the powerful Elemental Lords that rule over each plane. Elemental cores seem to retain some semi-sentient properties after being defeated. Other elementals (albeit fel-corrupted ones) have been born solely from demonic magic. Other elementals have been created by mogu sorcerers who prefer more solid companions over beastly familiars. The exact origin of these innately chaotic entities is unknown, though some have been accidentally created when bits of magic seeped into coals, over the course of a few decades manifesting in a small elemental being of immense fortitude. Elementals are manifestations of volatile energy - elemental spirits that have attained raw physical form with the spirit remaining as the core.
