I spent months trying to beat Battletoads as a kid when it came out . Literally months . I eventually succeeded and , to this day , consider it my crowning achievement in gaming . I played it again recently when Rare Replay came out , and I have no idea how I could possibly have ever finished it . Even with months of effort . Practice makes perfect , I guess . <| sep |> This pretty much happened to me . My dad didn ' t want to have children but my mother wanted to , and to save their relationship my father gave in and they had my brother and I . In the end , what for ? They divorced anyway , and I ' d prefer not to have been born . You dodged a bullet OP , really . Stick to your principles , best thing to do . <| sep |> Layer Cake Ordinary World scene . I know it ' s not uplifting in lyrics but the juxtaposition of the violence and a Duran Duran radio hit is oddly mesmerizing .
