Lost my nerve

[Solari]

I think I've been playing too many MMOs and stuff like Simcity 4.

Fired up Doom 3 the other day and found that I just couldn't sit there and play it as it scared the carp out of me.

I used to play nothing but FPS games and was never bothered by things jumping out on me, so how the hell do I get my nerve back? I feel like a right big girle

play it more, with the lights off

If I have a heart attack, does that make you guilty of manslaughter?

Silent Hill was ace - made me jump but I could play back then

Actually, one of the scariest games I remember from bygone days was "Aliens" on the Amstrad CPC (not the US Edition). Mind you I was a nipper back then.

Anyhow, will get the other half to come sit with me or something so she suffers palpitations as well.

Glad to see I'm not alone in having trouble dealing with this - highly annoying though. Playing RTS, MMO and God games obviously turns you into a shandy drinking softie
