Let’s be honest, dying is a part of gaming almost as much as dying is a part of life. In the last 35 years, the avoidance of death has been the primary motivator in the vast majority of games, regardless of genre — be it “Halo,” “Tetris” or Mario. But what happens when you take that away? Or what happens when you make a game so difficult that you’d practically need a helium factory for all of the extra-life balloons you’ll need?http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/279420.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=SIQsuRVOGAM:3KigZmxhLuk:yIl2AUoC8zA ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/279421.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=SIQsuRVOGAM:3KigZmxhLuk:F7zBnMyn0Lo ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/279422.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=SIQsuRVOGAM:3KigZmxhLuk:V_sGLiPBpWU ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/279423.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=SIQsuRVOGAM:3KigZmxhLuk:qj6IDK7rITs ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/279424.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=SIQsuRVOGAM:3KigZmxhLuk:gIN9vFwOqvQ ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/279425.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=SIQsuRVOGAM:3KigZmxhLuk:QXVau8BzmBE )
