Gaming is supposed to be a relaxing, fun activity that lets us take a load off from the world around us and immerse our selves in an entirely other one, right? Most of the time that's true, but life in all its forms has a habit of getting in the way, be it the responsibilities of keeping a roof over your head or the people around you, making the ideal of gaming slightly less ideal. Almost all of us will have suffered through all of these problems at one time or another, and though they're virtually the definition of "first world problems", that doesn't do much to stem our fast-rising anger (especially at the time). Yes, we're lucky to live in a world where one of the things that induces our rage the most is a black box parked underneath our TV, but given how much time we invest into it, and how many years we've been doing this thing for, these minor annoyances may very well add up to be a significantly irritating part of our lives. Whether it's the "misguided" decisions your gamer pals make, the financial woes of wanting to build up a huge game collection, or the stresses of daily life impacting upon your ability to play through the latest games, here are 10 problems that only gamers will understand. Did we miss any major gamer problems you've been struggling with lately? Or got any solutions for any of these problems? Let us know in the comments!
