Say, you got a pizza and squirrels run you out the park and made you abandon the pizza to them.

The story is way better than the pizza is. Sometimes people tell me stories they're frustrated about and I'm just thinkig about how the story is way greater than what was lost. You either ate yet another uneventful pizza, or you have a funny short story for life.

Those stories are what life is about. The pizza is just pizza.

They'll see it in time, once the emotional trauma of losing that pizza has passed

True. I guess Im being kind of insensitive to the initial feeling of losing a pizza.

Sometimes being frustrated about it is an important part of the story though. If they just told you in a calm monotone that they had to abandon a pizza, you'd think they were weird or lying or something.

I'm sorry, but 10,000 of ANYTHING on a PS2 would absolutely destroy your framerate. It'd be like playing chess through the mail. ~johnboy1

The better story would be the rat poison and antifreeze pizza the squirrels got next time.

As I've grown older, I've come to realize that characters are far more important.
You can have a complete dog shit story, but having compelling characters will keep me invested

How high are you right now

Kobe > LeBron. It's only internet stat nerds who think Lebron is better. Watch the games and stop calculating Lebron's PER with your wristwatch calculator.

You do make a good point though. I'd be a lil less angry with that mentality.

I live it. Everything is funny to me. Other guy was also right tho, sometimes your initial response being angry makes for an even funnier story later on. It's more so that you eventually find the humor in it, it doesn't have to be on the spot.

Yeah, I think about that too.

You ever watch those youtube videos where a challenge is trying to be completed. Imagine if they were able to first try the challenge. That wouldn't really make for an interesting video, would it?
