Granted, I’m extremely tired – but there is no excuse for what has just happened.

I ran out of lives while playing Sonic The Hedgehog. Yes, the first one.

I can’t believe it. I feel like I need to defend myself, and say that I don’t do anything like build up my lives on some easy level – but it doesn’t matter.

I still died.

And that’s not all. It gets worse.

I died… in the Marble Zone. The MARBLE ZONE!! THE FRELLING MARBLE ZONE.

Act One.

Maybe in my current state I could accept dying a bit later on, but the Marble zone? I can never look another gamer in the face.

I’m sure a lot of you are wondering what all the fuss is about. Maybe you have died in the Marble Zone before, but stuff like this happens to OTHER people. Not me.

I’m a Sonic fan. I have beaten all the games. I don’t lose all my lives by the Marble Zone.

My world is in disarray. I’ve spent so much of my life playing games that I expect to be good at them, especially ones I’ve played before that were released in 1991. My life, is meaningless.

Anyway I need to go and cry myself to sleep…
