'Exploding Ghosts' or 'Two Great Skeletons in one Week'
So Tom, Dan, Lanyon and Andy are playing Halo about 3 feet from me.
The day started off at about two o'clock in the p.m., when Tom came over for a bout of C.O.Norrath. After finishing Act 2, which had a lot of bullshit confusing quasi-puzzles (you don't put the cell door key in the cell door - you put it in the pedastal in the middle of the room), we made it to a tropical island and everything started going right. First, I got a two-handed sword of ass-kicking about the height and width of my character (it looks like Cloud's sword). Shortly after, I levelled up and got the power to SUMMON A SKELETON THAT HAS A FLAMING SWORD AND FOLLOWS US BY MOTHERFUCKING TELEPORTING AND TEARING OUR ENEMIES TO MOTHERFUCKING FLAMING DYING SHREDS. Goddamn, that guy is sweet. So the game just got like twice as bomb. We might play some more tonight - we'll see.
So after a bit of that we drove to Lanyon's place in Bumblefuck, IL, and have been mass gaming since. Mass in the sense that there were fourteen people playing games at the same time at one point and in the sense that we've been at it for like 5+ hours. We hit up some eight-player Halo, which was fun but would have been fun moreso if everyone had been taking it seriously, and if it hadn't of frozen every nineteen feet (well, only twice, but still). But, twas still a quality time. There was some Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and some Need For Speed Underground and some NES emulation going on, and non-stop Halo on one TV for like 37 hours.
Lanyon says Halo only froze from having retards step on the cable, but I blame him for having retards in his house.
Anyhow, it's wrapping up, but it was good times. Eye-searingly, thumb-destroying good times. And now Lanyon is going to sleep, so we're off into the wild blue yonder.
