Holy crap, those cats are incredibly good at Jenga. I'm not that good at Jenga.Dirty Hipsters said:Take a moment to reread your OP. You're upset because you couldn't win at a video game.
Now repeat that to yourself again, you're actually upset because a video game because there were 2 guys who beat you at a video game that you play for FUN. Your self worth shouldn't be tied to how well you play a video game.
Now, don't you feel pretty goddamn silly?
Your life must be AWESOME if the worst thing to happen to you recently is losing at TF2.
Now to cheer you up, here's cats playing Jenga:
If I'm being honest, I'm a little upset now. I work really hard at Jenga and this stupid kitten is just naturally better at it after like 3-4 months of being alive. It makes me feel like I've wasted my time. I feel completely inadequate.
Can someone please post some funny pictures of cats failing at things so I can get my mojo back? Thx.

Be fair to yourself. The laws of physics and science in general are suspended for cats and kittens by way of them being secretly Force-users. Sith or Jedi matters not, they ignore traditional boundaries we mere humans can only dream of escaping. Think what they could do with thumbs.BloatedGuppy said:
what you have there, Sir, is an honest-to-goodness Lorax, seen in the wild. quite a beautiful thing to behold. the last picture is particularly interesting. to an untrained eye, not much seems different, however, having spent two years living amongst the Lorii of Micronesia, I am somewhat of an expert on them. As the male enters mating season, he can be seen presenting with a top-hat and monocle, in hopes of luring female Lorii. it's not immediately obvious, but you can notice the subtle differences.Pallindromemordnillap said:
this has been another episode of Factual Safari, brought to you by Tiger Nuggets. The only nugget guaranteed to contain 100% fresh Tiger meat.
I was expecting something a little more...serious. Like, I dunno, your mother had died or something.
All I get is the fact you can't beat some guys at TF2.
...
Look at it this way. You have a better quality of life because you can't beat two sweaty tryhards.
Take pride from that.
Take pride that you haven't wasted years of your life perfecting your skills at a game which will help in no way whatsoever unless you want to play TF2 professionally.
Christ, this thread is the very definition of first world problems.

Maybe that's what caused it, but maybe it isn't. Maybe it's a singular incident, or maybe it's the straw that broke the camel's back, as people say. All we know about it is what chooses to tell us himself. I can't say it matters much to me - someone is feeling down and wants to feel up again, and I think I can help them with that.Sassafrass said:
Here's something game-related that I found pretty funny -
Also, OP - if this is the result of several issues and the final straw was the incident mentioned above, then it's okay to be upset about it. If the only thing that caused this was what your post mentions, then try not to take such things seriously. Look at it this way - you play games for entertainment. If playing it is more trouble than fun, then simply move to something else that you like. Don't let something so minor affect your happiness.

http://www.cracked.com/article_19389_the-8-most-badass-make-a-wish-foundation-wishes.html. It's not on the list but I swear I remember reading about a kid whose wish was to meet Hellboy. well the story reached Hellboy actor Ron Perlman, who put on the make up and full costume and spent a full day with the kid.
Furthermore, as you watch that video, don't forget that, in the original canon, corgis are the only thing that Lara Croft truly fears.TheSYLOH said:

Dude it's TF2.
The guys porobably put in 50 hours a week or some shit and have nothing else to do, watch Bobobo-bo-bobobo and play something else.

Well, seeing as you need a pick-me up towards kawaii sensitivities, I present you with a dancing Meloetta (probably one of the few good things to come out of the 5th Gen of Pokemon).

Pay no attention to the "its just a game" and "first world problems lol" crowd. Dude's an escapist, I generally get along with escapists, dude's feeling down... I don't have a problem trying to help lift his spirits.
Well, I don't have a problem the idea. Unfortunately I have a tendency to be much better at spreading misery rather than happiness. But it occurs to me that maybe if I describe one of those situations that recently happened to me, perhaps some happiness via shadenfreude may be experienced.
My pals and I were celebrating the upcoming nuptials of another friend of ours at the traditional establishment of burlesque entertainment. Naa, seedier than that. This place was dirty. I mean really filthy. The kind of place the health inspectors won't shut down for fear that someone might find out they actually WENT INTO THE BUILDING. My cloths hamper still smells vaguely of stripper... after over a week. That's the kind of place this was. As we were leaving, the brother of the groom asked something bizarre of me. "Dude," he says, "do or say something that will make me hurl."
My reaction was similar to yours I suppose. "Why?."
"Because if I puke and then drink a ton of water I won't be hungover tomorrow. And I have a lot of stuff to do for (the groom) tomorrow. I don't wanna have to do all that feeling terrible."
I'm not exactly sure of the validity of his claim to a hangover cure... but at this point I'm thinking to myself "hey, if it works for him... And of course, how could I refuse a pal.
"OK," I say to him, "easy enough. Just think about this. We all did the thing tonight where we put the dollar bills up on the stage. And the dancer would take the dollar, put it in our mouth, and then use various parts of their body to take the bills from us?" (And yes, no matter what image this conjured up it's probably correct.)
"Sure," he says.
"Again think about this for a second," I replied, "and then remember that we didn't bring a lot of singles WITH us." At his quizzical look I elaborated. "Where did we get most of those bills... that we put in our mouths?"
It took a second, but it was successful enough to achieve his hangover cure.
Feel better now?
