A few years ago my friend and I used to play this shitty, free-to-play baseball game called Dugout Heroes. It was pretty janky, veering towards broken.Where the ball went if you actually managed to make contact as a batter was basically random, and the fielders were utterly useless. Just ridiculous unpredictable, and therefore frustrating to play, but for some reason we kept coming back to it. And things got really competitive, really fast. Eventually, to stop myself from punching a hole in my wall every time we played this horrible, messy, frustrating turd of a game I had to develop a whole routine. I would put on some relaxing music (Sigur Ros, typically), have a stress ball ready beside my mouse, get a tall glass of cold beer, and settle in with a pillow at my back.
What a dumb game.
