gamer's curse

The excessive urge to complete as much of a game as possible, in order to obtain achievements, trophies etc.

More often than not, the task involves completing a specific stage on a difficulty level that one normally struggles with, and due to the achievement, they push themselves to get it, often repeatedly failing at one point, and eventually getting beyond frustrated over it, becoming difficult to interact with during this moment of anger.

Jack: "Hey, what's up with John? I was going to ask him if he's going out today but he was obviously pissed off in the way he responded."

Joseph: "He's experiencing gamer's curse."

Jack: "Oh, please...how people get so worked up over games is beyond me."

Joseph: "Hey, if you'd spent over an hour trying to clear something that can be done in under 10 minutes, and you STILL hadn't done it, I'm pretty sure you'd be pissed off, too."

The Superman Curse

A strange coincidence involving various misfortunes involving people who have played the legendary superhero "Superman" in popular media.

The first example of the curse was Kirk Alyn, the very first actor to portray Superman. Shortly afterward, he found himself unable to be associated with anything other than Superman. He later passed away from Alzheimer's Disease.

While there were at least two other examples of the curse, it did not become more apparent until 1995, when Christopher Reeve became completely paralyzed after being forcefully thrown off of a horse and died from cardiac arrest nine years later, aged 52.

Is the Superman Curse real? The world may never know. But one thing's for sure: These two actors are dearly missed.

"Hey, bro, did you pull up that video yet?"
"Nah man, I found an interpretive dance to the Pete's a Pizza audiobook."
"It's literally been five minutes since I left! You must have the YouTube curse."
