I absolutely hate dying in video games, so much so, that I will go so far to turn the console off or 'soft reset' just before the moment of death, so I don't have to watch through the game over or death sequence. If I'm too late to do that and my reflexes aren't quick enough, I still turn it off as soon as possible, and play another game for at least a week to block out the painful memory

I always avenge a death. It's almost as if I hold a grudge against the game for killing my friend.
