20. Fetch Quests
imgur.com"Boy!" you exclaim as you stroll through the nuclear wasteland/fantasy landscape/generic setting #281, "I sure do wonder what we'll find in this place! Perhaps some exciting new quests that'll reap many rewards?". Nope. Instead you'll talk to some randomer who'll tell you something you instantly forget and you'll set off on a mission to literally the other side of the world to recover a spoon or something else equally pointless. You wouldn't mind, but your character only asked where the bathroom was. NPCs don't give up information for anything you know!
19. Watching Non-Gamers Pretending To Show An Interest
tumblrAs a gamer, you've already accepted that you're playing a mass-murdering adventurer or a crazy assassin who has a penchant for parkour. Unfortunately for you, others in the household don't accept this as a given, and when bored may well enter the room to see what you're up to. Thus begins the awkward moment where you really want them to leave as you prefer to game alone. After several seconds of silence, then begins the barrage of questions that rip the game you're playing to shreds. Despite your best efforts to explain, the non-gamer just looks at you blankly with pity in their eyes. You may then proceed to shout at them and banish them from your gaming domain forever.
18. Trading In A Game, Then Immediately Wanting To Play It Again
oneplus.netAs part of the ever-ongoing problem of gaming being one of the most ridiculously expensive hobbies on the planet and they're being so, so very many games out there that must be bought, we sometimes have to sacrifice that which was once held dear. Often to get a new title you'll find yourself rummaging through your gaming collection for things that'll still hold some value. With nothing available, you'll then take a game from years ago even though they'll give you a pittance in the store. You'll use this to get some much-needed money off the latest title, but almost instantly you'll find yourself inexplicably wanting to play the games you've parted with.
