"It's not about the end, it's the journey." A wonderful saying that tells us that life is to be experienced not simply marched on without passion, love and joy, yet whoever said that probably never thought about video games, as it doesn't always hold up.

I'm speaking of course, about secret bosses that will, in the most layman terms, absolutely batter you like an industrial deep fat fryer.
