The Thrill of Making a Comeback

As you have probably surmised, I play Lexulous a lot.

I've played several games where either I or my opponent hit a big word and suddenly jumped ahead in points. Oh, the thrill! It fills me with excitement. YES!!! A couple of my recent games were like that. My opponent suddenly hit a big word that put him/her ahead by some points. Can you imagine how they felt? They probably pointed at the screen and yelled, "I gotcha!!! You're DEAD!!!" I have definitely felt that way numerous times and actually did that as well as sang a little song - "You're gonna lose again... you're gonna lose again... you're gonna loooosssee aaagaaiiinnn... you're gonna loooooosssse aaaaggaaaaiiinnnn..." Only for me to hit bigger points and that's the end of the game.

Of course, I've lost many times. As a matter of fact, my stats tell me that I've lost 133 times in 626 games. You win some, you lose some but it doesn't dampen the thrill nor the disappointment. Story of my life...

Ah, ah, ah, I'm staying alive... staying alive!
