If I feel like shooting something, that's exactly what I do. Give me a game with a gun, and I'll be better in no time.

Of course, when I feel like life sucks, I create a new one and play around with Harvest Moon for a while. Virtual Lives rock until your cows die.

But what do you play when you're in a bad mood or bummed out? What game(s) can you count on to bring you out of a funk?

For me, it's anything 8-bit Megaman or (more recently) Warioland.
8-Bit Mega Man would honestly put me in a worse mood.

I like playing fighters all the time, but especially when I'm in a bad mood.

Except for Online MVC2. Again, that'll just put me in a REALLY bad mood.
MVC 2 is ridiculous... That game is rapped by top tiers... If you aren't Storm, Cable, Magneto or Sentinel you have no chance... I myself was a Sentinel abuser and ashamed of it..

I would hate you and your ilk if I didn't totally understand the predicament, lol.

After a sh**y day at work I do one of two things-

1- Get online and kill as many 13 year olds on any random online-enabled console FPS.
2- Relax with a story driven RPG.

I actually had to put Megaman 9 on hold (at the end) because it made me so agitated at times i ended up fighting with my fiancee for some reason :lol:.
