PES Effect

The common act of everything going tits up at once, as seen by increasing the difficulty of Pro Evolution Soccer to anything above 3 atars. Usual signals of the PES Effect include: Pschic powers of opponents to read your mind Telekinetic powers of opponents to make every bounce go their way Powers of teleportaion so that whenever you do get a lucky break, they are there to steal the ball The inability of your players to pass The absolute certainty that when you do get a chance on goal, your centre back who can't hit a barn door is there to take the shot The internet packing up as you try to write this kind of rant It usually results in turning the difficulty down to one star and giving the computer a good thrashing "to show it who's boss"; hitting anyone/anything within reach or assaulting anything within throwing distance with a playstation controller It can also happen in many everyday situations such as during brain surgery, when you drop your scalpel into the patient's head and trip on a bit of brain on the floor at the same time. Then, after you retrieve the scalpel from the cranial cavity...they die; this results in you throwing the scalpel/the patient at any nearby nurses proclaiming "you did your best"
