I killed two mice playing X-Wing, then broke down and spent $100+ on a Flightstick Pro to play a game I spent $50 playing. Yikes.
I recall one harrowing mission early in the B-Wing campaign, defending the prototype B-Wings as they flew agonizingly slow from their docks to the mother ship while being assaulted. I was so messed up early on, structure in the red, low energy state, I zoned into "Everybody dies, BUT YOU FIRST IMPERIAL DOGS!" state where I just wanted to inflict maximum damage before becoming space junk. After a 20 minute death grip on the joystick, the mission was over. Mission success would be 50% of the B-Wings making it. They all made it.
