Character A is killed by a monster, right before character A dies character A says "Lag!!!".
Character B stares at character A's remains and goes "Huk huk huk ^_^". Character B procedes to take character A's gold and walks away.
Diablo at its finest.
If you played the game you know what i'm talking about.
I think one gaming skill that is very important is patience. If you don't have it then chances are you may need to use codes or cheats. However, most of the time if you keep trying enough times you can usually solve the problem. This is very evident in some of the older nes games like Ninja Gaiden. Usually on your first time playing through you will die, but after playing it enough times you will eventually know where everything is and where enemies are going to come from. Whether this is good game design or not is a different matter though. In small modurations difficult challenges are ok, but when there is an overabundance of them its just annoying. I think one thing game companies need to do is make sure games stay fun and avoid trial and error type things. When you walk into a room, fall into a hole, and die without having anyway of knowing the hole was there. Thats just poor game design.

They lack the trouble shooting skills that one gains from running a PC.
