Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: Fag blames his inability to learn trigonometry on being into RPGs

[quote name="Choson"][quote name="<a href="http://www.pixelpoppers.com/2009/11/awesome-by-proxy-addicted-to-fake.html">RPGs are the cause of my failures</a>"] After panicking for a while, I came up with a plan. There was no point blaming anyone else for the state of things - I was the only one who could turn it around. So I would do so. I would instill a mastery orientation in myself. The first thing I did was stop playing RPGs. I was addicted and I had to quit. Then, it was time to retrain myself. I started small: I began playing action games. If RPGs had reinforced my bad habits, then action games could reinforce good ones. [/quote] I was even worse than this guy, because my favourite games were shit like Monkey Island, and I got tired of RPGs about half an hour in, no matter how supposedly awesome they were. Finishing Metroid was probably my biggest achievement in videogames. That said, I mastered both calculus AND trigonometry.[/quote]
