Well, to put it simply, while nothing is more satisfying than clicking with a great game, suddenly realising that you know exactly what youre doing and sailing from then on, nothing is quite as indescribably frustrating as getting stuck, failing repeatedly or otherwise having your progress abruptly halted for whatever reason.
