Trauma by Video-Game

Dear Blogger,

I did one of the most stupid things in my life today. I searched, and watched the videos for, these following sentences on YouTube:

> Top 5 worst game endings
> Top 5 gruesome game endings
> Top 5 saddest game endings
> Top 5 game deaths

You'd be surprised at how advanced game graphics are nowadays. I used to think myself unsqueamish in the face of blood.

*watches videos*

. . .Squeamish. Definitely sqeamish.

It didn't exactly help when the man killed his own daughter. Or when, in a different video, the giant babies ate the crazy-sh*t lady. Or, in Saw II (which you'll be delighted to now is being made into A FRICKIN' MOVIE) -- when the guy got his head splattered in a metal venus fly trap. Or when the same guy had just finished carving out his eyeball - graphically - with a scalpel.

Not cool, dudes and dudettes. Not. Cool.

(I feel like I'm going to be sick)

That's not even getting into the sad/depressing scenes. (you know the kind, dying in each other's arms, little kiddies trapped in testing facilities, mind-screwing plot twists, finding out that your whole life has been a lie and you were actually dead the whole time and now you have to leave the love of your non-life behind etc etc etc.)

You get the picture. And now I want to curl up into a ball and eat Tim-tams. Or not. I don't really feel like eating anything...TT^TT

I didn't even go into that other game, the one where there's this machine that sticks a needle into the guys eye and he goes blind.  :(

And that isn't the worst of it. You, aka The Player, has to be the one to guide it into his eye. If you fail...

*thinks back on how bad the idea of looking up screenshots for the scene was*

...nope. Don't fail.

I can't believe I did that. Once I found that the video for the death scene was blocked on youtube due to it violating YouTube's laws of being 'shockingly graphic and disgusting', I decided to look it up on google images - ignoring the R18+ warnings all the way.

I do not want school vaccinations. At all.

If you miss with the needle, it goes straight through the guys head, along with the machine behind it. Long story short, there's a whopping hole in the guys head, blood and brains are splattering everywhere and meanwhile the guys thrashing about and yelling.

Seriously guys, adhere to the warnings. They are there for good reason.

I'm going to watch and listen to happy things for the rest of the night. Rainbows and unicorns. Rainbows and unicorns.

What crazy psychos think up this crap, anyways?
