Extreme shenanigans
A new console launch is an exciting event with many gamers joining the queues outside their local game store to be one of the first to get their hands on a shiny new console.

Apart from coming away with frost bite, a bladder infection and a vastly depleted bank balance – or maybe even a gun-shot wound – extreme gamers will most likely tell you the experience was well worth it.

Long term, they’ll get over the tiredness and be left with a warm fuzzy feeling of smugness.
