I blame the casual gamer for your predicament, myself.
The casual gamer is such a drag. They seem to have all the good games while we have stuff like Guitar Hero and Bejeweled. /not the most extreme sarcasm but still sarcasm
I blame nature on the issue. As Classic Game Room once said, "Gamers don't go well with nature." Even if I was able to make plants flourish as I listened to terrible metalcore. I wonder if plants grow better when heavy metal is played around them now.
I seriously made my mom's plants grow better by playing crappy metalcore. That is weird. I still want to grow a venus flytrap. I love those fly eaters.
