The Golden Ring

There it is.

Floating.

Spinning.

Completely unattended.

Normal person:

“That’s strange.”

Gamer:

“MINE.”

No hesitation.

No questions.

Collectible acquired.

Why Are We Collecting Them?

Friend:

“Why do you need rings?”

You:

“I don’t know.”

“What do they do?”

“Important things.”

“Like?”

You pause.

“They’re rings.”

Friend:

“That doesn’t answer question.”

You’re already running toward next one.

Conversation over.

The First Ring

DING.

Nice.

Second ring.

DING.

Third.

DING.

Fourth.

DING.

Suddenly brain has discovered new purpose.

Collect all shiny circles.

Nothing else matters.

Twenty Rings

You’re feeling good.

Look at that collection.

Beautiful.

Thirty.

Forty.

Fifty.

You are unstoppable.

Then…

One tiny enemy touches you.

CHAOS.

Rings everywhere.

Your carefully accumulated fortune launches across screen like somebody detonated jewelry store.

NO.

NO NO NO.

GET THEM BACK.

The Panic

You have approximately three seconds to recover everything.

Character runs left.

Rings bounce right.

You jump.

Miss.

Turn around.

Grab three.

Lose twelve.

Another disappears.

You:

“COME BACK!”

Friend:

“They’re imaginary.”

That isn’t helping.

Don’t Lose Them All at Once

There are stressful moments in life.

Job interviews.

Deadlines.

Unexpected bills.

Traffic.

Then there’s watching dozens of golden collectibles scatter in every direction because you clipped one tiny obstacle.

Different kind of trauma.

Gamers understand.

The Speed Problem

Normal platforming character:

Carefully approaches ledge.

Looks down.

Plans jump.

Blue hedgehog:

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Maximum speed.

Full commitment.

We’ll figure out landing later.

The Hill

You see downhill slope.

There are two choices.

Walk carefully.

Or…

Accelerate to completely unreasonable speed and trust game physics.

Obviously option two.

The Loop

Friend:

“Is that loop?”

“Yes.”

“How are you supposed to run upside down?”

“Speed.”

“That doesn’t explain physics.”

“More speed.”

Still doesn’t explain physics.

Doesn’t matter.

We’re doing it.

The Ramp

Ramp ahead.

Gamer brain:

Go faster.

Logical brain:

Maybe slow down.

Gamer brain:

GO FASTER.

Logical brain has left conversation.

The Spring

You find giant spring.

Friend:

“What does that do?”

Only one way to find out.

BOING.

Character launches approximately seventeen stories into air.

Friend:

“Was that intentional?”

You:

“Absolutely.”

It was not.

The Hidden Path

Main route clearly goes right.

But there’s suspicious platform above you.

You stop.

Look.

Jump.

Nothing.

Jump again.

Still nothing.

Third attempt.

Secret path.

You:

“I KNEW IT.”

This is why gamers trust nothing.

The Wall

Normal person sees wall.

Gamer sees possibility.

Can I jump over it?

Break it?

Run through it?

Climb it?

Find invisible passage?

Attack suspicious brick?

There is no such thing as “just wall” anymore.

The Checkpoint

You finally reach checkpoint.

Relief.

Safety.

Progress preserved.

Friend:

“Why are you so happy?”

You:

“You don’t understand what I’ve been through.”

Three minutes ago you fell into pit seven times.

You’ve earned this.

The Bottomless Pit

You’re running.

Fast.

Very fast.

Too fast.

Suddenly:

Gap.

You jump.

Almost.

Almost.

Almost…

Nope.

Down you go.

You stare at screen.

“That jump was completely possible.”

It probably wasn’t.

You’re trying again anyway.

One More Attempt

You:

“One more try.”

Twenty minutes later…

Friend:

“You said one more try.”

“This is still same try emotionally.”

Gamer mathematics.

The Boss Fight

Boss appears.

Huge.

Intimidating.

Dramatic music.

You have one question:

Where is weak spot?

Every gamer immediately begins searching.

Glowing area?

Suspicious eye?

Giant button?

Exposed machinery?

Something is getting hit repeatedly.

The First Attempt

Boss destroys you.

Fine.

Learning experience.

Second attempt.

Better.

Third attempt.

Almost.

Fourth attempt.

You know pattern.

Fifth attempt.

Victory.

You stand.

Raise arms.

Friend:

“You defeated computer.”

Correct.

And computer needed to learn its place.

The Speedrunner

Normal gamer:

“I finished level!”

Speedrunner:

“I finished it in 38 seconds.”

Normal gamer:

“How?”

Speedrunner:

“Well, first you jump backward into wall, clip through floor, bounce off enemy, skip half map—”

Normal gamer:

“I’m sorry I asked.”

The Retro Gamer

Modern game:

Massive open world.

Complex skill trees.

Hundreds of quests.

Cinematic story.

Retro gamer:

“Cool.”

Then sees brightly colored platformer involving running, jumping, and collecting shiny objects.

“NOW WE’RE TALKING.”

Sometimes simplicity wins.

The Arcade Mentality

Objective:

Go right.

Collect things.

Avoid things.

Jump over other things.

Occasionally defeat large thing.

Seems easy.

It is not.

The Collectible Problem

Game:

“You only need 50 rings.”

You collect 50.

Then see another.

Do you leave it?

Of course not.

51.  

Then another.

52.  

Why?

Because it’s there.

The Missing One

Level completion:

99/100 COLLECTIBLES.

You stare.

No.

Absolutely not.

Replay level.

Check every platform.

Every corner.

Every suspicious wall.

Forty-five minutes later…

Found it.

Peace restored.

The Completionist

Friend:

“You finished game?”

“Yes.”

“So you’re done?”

“No.”

“But you finished it.”

“I only found 87% of collectibles.”

Friend:

“So?”

You slowly turn.

“So?”

Friend realizes mistake.

The Controller Lean

Character jumps.

You physically lean right.

Why?

No idea.

Does it help?

Scientifically questionable.

Emotionally?

Absolutely.

The Childhood Strategy Guide

Before walkthrough videos…

Before instant online guides…

There was:

Friend who claimed cousin knew secret.

Handwritten notes.

Playground rumors.

Magazine tips.

And completely fabricated cheat codes someone swore worked.

You tried them anyway.

The Retro Gaming Memory

There’s something about colorful levels.

Simple objectives.

Fast movement.

Collectibles.

Secret areas.

Ridiculous enemies.

And that feeling when you finally cleared section that had defeated you all afternoon.

No giant explanation needed.

Sometimes you just want to:

Run.

Jump.

Collect.

Repeat.
