A little variety of screams

Oh hey! Look at that. My wish came true. While I was in my Theology class, the prof announced that classes were suspended starting at 1PM. Which meant that I didn't have math class anymore. Yay! So what was the first thing I did when I got back to my condo? Of course I took a nap. I mean, come on. I didn't sleep well the night before, so I might as well catch up on a few z's.

What's funny was that most of my friends didn't stay at my place. I'm guessing it's due to the fact that we hid our copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl (see my previous posts for more info), so they had nothing to do here. A few of them came over either way, probably just for the air conditioning in my condo. They ended up watching a few episodes of House instead of playing. After a while, they decided to play a different game to pass the time. While they were playing, I fell asleep, so I have no idea how long they played. I kinda got worried that they might get addicted to a new game, but I didn't let it go to my head.

Even though only two days have passed, It's still fun to see my friend complaining about how much they miss playing Super Smash Bros. It makes me realize how addicted they really were. When they couldn't find the game on Monday, they started opening all of the game cases in my condo, thinking that maybe I just hid it from them. When we broke the "news" that his little brother was looking for the game, they decided to just watch a movie instead. Since we weren't with them when they found out, we couldn't see how they reacted. Too bad. It must've been a funny sight.

When I heard of how they responded, it triggered the part of me that is kind of sadistic. It felt fun to watch them suffer. I mean, they HAVE been kinda abusive when it came to my condo just to play, even when I wasn't around. So I figured that they deserve a break from playing Super Smash Bros., even if it's just for a while. Our plan is for just a week, but seeing as how they reacted, I MIGHT extend it.

What's the most fun with our little game of hide-and-seek? It's when my friend and I can play Super Smash Bros. all we want at night, and they don't even have a clue. It seems more fun to play something that they can't play. It's like a child enjoying their toy because his/her friends don't have it.

During the night, we even ended up inviting a few of his friends over to play a few games. It seemed more enjoyable when it isn't the same voices screaming about the game, since my friends' screams were getting a little repetitive. We ended up playing well past 12am. I guess I prefer variety when I hear screams from my friends.

"Campers" at my place.

You guys know the game Super Smash Bros.? Of course you do. I mean who doesn't? They have various versions for the different consoles available, like Melee for the Gamecube and Brawl for the Wii. The Super Smash Bros. series is a pretty big name for Nintendo, considering the fact that they combined characters and items from different games and mashed them up to create one fighting-style game that meets the tastes of almost all gamers.

Many characters came from well known titles, like Pokemon, Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Metal Gear, and of course, Super Mario. But aside from those, Super Smash Bros. introduced us to the not-so-famous characters like Ike, Marth, Pit, R.O.B., and the classic Mr. Game and Watch. Items and stages also came from various games, such as Animal Crossing and Ice Climber. So to sum it all up, Super Smash Bros. is like a hotpot of Nintendo titles for gamers of all different walks of life.


Sound interesting? Well it is, especially to my friends. Okay, maybe "interesting" is an understatement. My friends are complete ADDICTS. Trust me when I say this, I am not exaggerating anything. We had our hell week last week (which consisted of four quizzes. Talk about hectic.) and instead of studying during our breaks, they ended up visiting me in my condo just so they could play. And I'm pretty sure that each and every one of them has woken me up early one day just so they could practice in my condo.

It's easy to tell if they're playing in my condo. Once you get off the elevator on my floor, you will start to hear screaming and yelling coming from your right. That's my friends. I don't really get why they get so hyped up over this game. I mean, yeah, it's exciting. But after a while, the excitement dies down. Well I guess it's an exception for them.

Because of how addicted they were, my friend and I decided to "play a little game" with them. We hid the game in his condo (which is just upstairs from my place) and we told them that his little brother was looking for it so they took it back. So as I'm writing about this, we're in his condo while the rest of our friends are downstairs in my place. We have no idea what they're doing right now, but I'm gonna have to guess that they are either bored or they found a new game to play. I guess we'll just have to see. But a week without it shouldn't be too hard, right?
