Hi Nicol,
Well, i do understand what you are saying about using more force than 
necessary on your keyboard. I once broke a couple of NES game 
controllers that way while pusshing the buttons far to hard. However, as 
I have aged, gotten older, I have learned one does not have to beat up 
the game device to get the desired effect. The extra force does nothing 
to iimprove your chances at any given game.
That said I think you might want to be careful how much you hit your 
keyboard while others are around, and explore other means of getting the 
desired effect. After all most keyboards can do the same effect with a 
light key press as a forceful one.
I guess if you want to explain it there is no way to explain it to a 
non-gamer. It involves explaining your feeling how drawn you are into 
that particular game and your emotions sort of take over. A feeling I 
know all to well.
When I play Shades of Doom and the mad scientist takes off with someing 
of mine I feel honest rage and anger. Needless to say I often destroying 
anything and everything on the level trying to exact my vengence. When I 
find that scientist I kill him slowly and with deadly force. I knife 
him, saw him, or drop a mine and let him step on it exploding his guts 
eferywhere, etc. I usually kill him in spectacular and deadly ways.
One time I was playing, I think this was SOD 1.0, I shot the scientist 
and he let go of the mines he took, and kept on running. I aimed on the 
mines and fired. The Mines exploded, and blew the scientist up and the 
wall they were near. It was effective, and well he payed a heavy price 
for taking them.
Anyway, the point I am making is I can be so drawn in to the game 
keyboards, headphones, and computers seam not to exist and I am 
emotionally caught up in the action. If it wasn't for the desire to keep 
my computer keyboard last I try not to use to much forece on the keys 
but I could as easly bang keys left and right.
