I had to have my friend beat Jabu Jabu's belly for me in OoT because I was too scared of it.

I wanted to play Resident Evil real bad as a kid so I got one of my friends who had lovely parents who didn't care what he did at all to rent him the game so I could play it. Then I was so scared that when he turned out the lights I started screaming that I need the lights on so I can see what buttons I need to push even though that wasn't even remotely true.

Even worse is that after he did that I don't think I played the game for much longer.

Maybe this isn't bad but I played ESPN 2K5 on PS2 for the entirety of middle school/half of high school constantly role playing the possibility of me being drafted as a defensive end/wide reciever and so on well past getting completely out of shape and having no ambitions to actually play real life football ever again, to the point of spending hours every few days simulating the number of seasons it would take for me to, in the future, be drafted to the Raiders and sometimes the Falcons, and sometimes the Cardinals, since you can edit draft rosters, where I made myself a Modest 78-80 skill rookie.

I've found the last few Digimon games way better than Pokémon in every way and this has been really loving up my worldview lately

Pokemon had been on a decline since Gold/Silver, peaked or at least hit the same level of greatness with Diamond/Pearl, and went back to poo poo after that point.

I got so scared by the ghost that starts haunting you in the original Link's Awakening that I stopped playing it and didn't beat it until DX came out.

Sometimes I fantasize about having my hands or arms crippled in a bike accident or machinery malfunction so that I could have an excuse for not being as good at gaming as 25 years of it ought to of produced.

I've gotten up to the point right before the final boss rush in Final Fantasy 7 on two separate occasions and quit playing there both times.

I quit playing Wonderful 101 because I got stuck on the first boss, a giant robot. I just kept going through the same animation loops over and over for like an hour before I got frustrated and quit. Then I played it off as a joke in another thread.

I also have severe gaming ADD and I'm pretty sure I've spent even more than Wormskull at this point on games I'll never play.
