"Why do I even bother?"

[Evonisia]

You know what's tougher than all of these games? Tetris.

Spoiler: Seriously.

This guy was the sixth person in the world -- and the first outside Japan -- to get the Grand Master [http://tetris.wikia.com/wiki/Tetris_The_Grand_Master_3_Terror-Instinct#GrandMaster_Requirements] ranking.

I loved Tetris once. Now I feel I'll never be able to play it without feeling inadequate.

I'm a big fan of Dark Souls. I'd even consider myself as fairly good ad the games, but then I see THIS

Spoiler: Guitar Souls

But wait, there's more!

Spoiler: Voice Souls

Spoiler: Drum Souls

I remember seeing this a number of years ago


I tried to copy them once. It went about as well as you'd expect

MMO videos about guys soloing raid bosses or something equally tough. Or that Metal Gear Rising Revengeance LP from Chip Cheezum, where he makes the whole thing look really easy and cool.

Most of the time I don't do challenge runs anyway, although I like watching them.

I can relate to the MMO bit. I've been playing Star Trek Online for a little over a year and a half now, and I can confidently claim I do my part - and even occasionally carry - during normal raids with a small team. However, there are DPS wizards out there with super builds that can not only single-handedly breeze through them, but also tackle special "Advanced" and "Elite" difficulties that are pretty much designed to be impossible to beat without a well-coordinated team with top gear.

Mofos gotta be channeling Sisko and Janeway or something...

I remember when I showed my cousins how to beat one of Krew's impromptu missions with a Hellcat Cruiser... Apparently, anyone can do that, anyway... But honestly, just watching all those Kingdom Hearts-based speedruns and, especially, watching perfect DDR runs on the highest difficulty can just make me drop the mic and just walk off the stage with my hands up in total surrender...

Other than that, going pro with Super Smash Bros.... Now, that's a final destination I ain't bothering to touch seriously...

The important thing to remember about videos like the one I posted[footnote]Or the others in this thread, for that matter.[/footnote] is that what you are seeing is the final product. Behind that video is someone who spent hundreds if not thousands of hours playing Tetris over several years. Being inferior to them is kind of inevitable.

Besides, if being significantly worse than a Grand Master at Tetris is an indicator of inadequacy, then there is roughly 7,399,999,994 inadequate people on this planet. =P

I usually get that feeling when I check out a game's multiplayer.

Same, especially CoD and Battlefield.

Tharsis was sort of giving me that feeling last week.....hours later, was still playing it, still didn't reach Mars, didn't really care, was just enjoying eating crew members.
