too serious Katamari

I just wanted to point out here that I’ve been playing a lot of Katamari lately — I bought Katamari Forever when it came out, and on a forum I frequent, we’re doing a competition for Katamari Damacy, the first game. If you don’t know about the game, it’s a game where you have a ball and you roll up small object in order to make your ball bigger which in turn allows you roll up bigger objects, leading you to eventually roll up the moon.

The game is amazing.

Anyway, I have been getting way too serious when I’m playing this game, and it’s kind of freaking me out. When I play Grand Theft Auto, if someone shoots me, or the cops show up, I start fucking murdering bitches, which makes sense, but with Katamari games, I tend to seriously tense up when I start bumping into things and pieces of my katamari start falling off.

I was just playing a level that I died in twice (I don’t know what was up with it — just couldn’t get my rhythm in it) and a car shaped like a swan was in my way and I got stuck. I couldn’t get around it and it kept bumping into me and pushing me in bad directions and making my katamari smaller. So I finally got away, thought to myself that I was going to go get bigger to go get my revenge. I rolled up some stuff to get bigger and came back to the street where that stupid swancar was and rolled that thing up.

It made me feel so good. I might have a problem.
