In gaming, happiness is...

[Melf]

To me, gaming happiness is:

- Playing through the entire second level of Halo and having my Warthog gunner survive to the end.
- Booting up Castle of Illusion.
- Watching the intro to Soul Calibur.
- Long car trips with my GBA.
- That call from Gamestop to let me know my preorderd game has arrived.
- My wife and I playing Animal Crossing. She's hooked!
- Finding a used game in mint condition at EB or Gamestop and having them scan the price only to find that the game is actually $5 cheaper.

Anyone else have some definitions of gaming happiness?

That too. Unfortuately, they come in the span of 4-5 years. Too bad.
