This is definately true for me as well!

I think what is most challenging about VV is that it challenges the player...in real life. There are parts of the game that aren't "instant gratification". There are parts that are slow getting to your next goal but this can cause creativity on the players part...there are other things to be done during these times...read a book, write on the forums, read fan fiction, create something for fan art, help other players...on and on.

I suggest during these 'down times', don't feel obligated to sit and watch the game:

I agree, that could be like watching water boil or grass grow! Don't torture yourself \:D
