Those games you tend to play when your life gets tough and you need that video game comfort food... whether it's an immersive escape or just a game you can dominate and feel powerful, what do you play when you need a pick-me-up?
I usually go to Super Metroid. Problem is, my grandma died today, and I just finished a Super Metroid playthrough yesterday. I'm taking off Thursday and Friday for the wake/funeral after working Wednesday night, then I'll have the weekend off, where sleep will likely be problematic. Maybe a Mario game or Fortune Street. I wish my GI Joe pcb didn't have a sound issue. Kind of in the mood to play it.
Any games you do in tough times?
