That brings me back to an interesting conundrum I've thought about for a while. The last number of lives before a gamer reaches a game over in some games is 1; while, it's 0 in other games. Which way is better? I personally think it should be 0, because the life currently in use isn't an extra.
I completely agree with you and for the same reason.
Although when my nephew was playing Super Mario Galaxy awhile ago, I was secretly hoping he would get a game over at 1. Why? Because he was being a brat. The only reason I even let him play is because his mother called to tell us to stay put so she can pick him up and I was getting sick of his "subtle" hints that he wanted to play the game...
"Boy, Super Mario Galaxy looks really fun."
"I''d really like to play Super Mario Galaxy."
"I sure hope I can borrow Super Mario Galaxy sometime."
Imagine hearing this constantly. That kid isn't allowed to play my Wii anymore and I'm certainly not going to lend him SMG either. Besides, he has a lot more games for his Wii than I do.
Wow. I just wanted to reply to a message and I ended up ranting about some 7-year-old. The ANGST Thread does that to you I guess.
