Superpowers
Darkness.
Icy coldness.
No! I don't want to get out of bed!
Can't I sleep another 5 more minutes?
Stupid clock is not working again. Why's it showing 8.45 when I set my alarm at 7.45 and it hasn't made those god awful noises that literally wake the dead?
8.45
OH FUCK! I need to be at work at 9!
I sit down at my desk.
It's 9.10
I've got superpowers.

Oh what fools we mortals be
I've been recently hooked on my DS playing this new game called Suikoden Tierkreis.
So there I was playing. As you can see from the box art, it's for ages 12+, meaning it isn't particularly difficult most of the time. Also, the experience system means you can level your characters pretty fast if they're underleveled. I wasn't having any problems with the game till then, happily progressing the story and gathering charaters. Saving was an unwelcome disruption and a severe jerk from the gaming experience.
Which meant all in all, I hadn't saved in over 3 hours of game play.
And then I met it.
It, in this case was some gloriously overpowered monster. It knocked out half my party with one blow. I tried to run.
FAIL.
The next blow came and I was dead.
The dreaded words floated on my screen.
GAME OVER.
I wanted to just curl into a ball and cry right there and then.
How cruel the RPG gods can be.
