I have a problem with my keyboard

NSGers, when I press the left arrow key and another key, I cannot press yet another key. For example, I can be pressing the left arrow key and the Z key, and when I try to hit, say, the S or down arrow key, the S or down arrow key will not work. What can I do to fix this?

(This may be the result of my left arrow key taking vengeance on me for my right-wing economics. Darn communist keyboards.)

Buy a new keyboard - most keyboards can only take so many key inputs at a time - three is usually the number, but it looks like you picked up a cheap keyboard. Sorry, bud.

Ah, crap. It's a laptop keyboard, unfortunately, so I can't switch it.

Do you know of any good keyboards with extra key inputs?

I get weirdness from my apostrophe key every so often. What fixes it is shutting down, and turning my computer back on.

Why do you need to be pressing so many keys? I'm guessing you're playing a computer game...

Buy a gamepad - it's so much better, and you can use it for other systems / games, as well.

Sounds like a plan.

In his defense, he was making sweet, sweet love to it.
Kinda like a text version of writing messages in invisible ink on your phallus before someone you're thinking specially about fellates you.

Games. So that's what the kids are calling it these days. I guess it's a natural move from playing with one's self. :p
