A study in how not to do it, probably.

I broke a mouse playing quake.

the button stopped working, so I tried the technical approach to fixing it.

I upended it and smashed the crap out of it on the chair arm.

it worked long enough for the game to finish (where I got my ass whupped, I suck at quake more than percible does. But then I don't normally play it anyway. *excuses generator is online*
