I think the difference is you and me. My 11-year-old is perfectly
happy spending hours getting the exact right angle on some "casual"
cannon firing Flash game. I'd try it twice and then give up, because
frustration is no longer something I consider entertaining :-)
(I actually tried general Raam about 50 times at the end of Gears 1,
read all the walk-throughs, and *still* couldn't get him. I even tried
it in co-op with said 11-year-old. Shame on Epic for balancing it so
poorly!)

Sincerely,
