When asked by people why do I game, my usual and simple (easy) answer is because they are fun. Playing videogames however can be a turbulent ride and not always of the fun kind.

A couple of days ago, i got stuck at Super Mario Galaxy and had to repeat the same planet 3-4 times. At some point, right before another imminent death, i yelled at the TV, "PETAKTOU MALAKA!" (JUMP YOU A.......LE). I am not sure if videogames' most iconic character heard me but he still fell to his inevitable death.

Last week we heard about the woman who murdered her husband with his own cricket bat and a kitchen knife. Monty couldn’t help but wonder which came first? Did she stick him with the blade and then drive his head over the boundary for 4? Or did she knock him down with the bat before going to work with the carving knife? Perhaps she went akimbo and battered him with both at the same time.
