I laugh at myself all the time for that reason.

Every time I dust off the ol' Sim City, I end up rolling around on the floor, laughing and crying, while the city burns under a cloud of toxic fumes, the advisers have fits, and red messages fill the screen.

I stink soooooo bad at that game. I just can't stay in control. Once things start in a downward spiral, all I can do is watch helplessly. Eventually it all just burns to the ground.

A few weeks later I forget how bad I am and start a new city....
