Respawning from reality: because dying in video games is so last season
You've died in the same old spot for the fifth time. It's not your fault, it's the game's. The game just can't handle your greatness.
Or, you know, you're just really bad at the game.
Whatever. The point is, you respawn, and you're back in the game. Like a phoenix rising from the digital ashes, but with less fire and more lag.
Or maybe the game's just respawning, and we're all just NPCs in its world, reliving the same 10 minutes over and over.
But don't worry, the respawning will stop once you beat the game. Or maybe when you get a better controller. Whichever comes first.
