My brother Tim was famous for turning off Atari games like "Joust" and "Breakout" if he was losing. My buddy Quinn would give up by the third inning and hit reset if his team was down big in "RBI Baseball." Poor sports both of them in the world of video-game athletics. The thought of sticking around for the inevitable was like torture to them evidently.
I wasn't quite built that way. For me, if I was down big in a video game -- or a game of one-on-one or P.I.G., etc. -- I would fight like hell to come back and win.
