Dead Or Alive at High Noon

Right. Dan's ex-roommate 'little Dan' is over for a visit, meaning one more person in the house to beat at X-box game "Dead or Alive." Had a one on one match with Big Dan (irony intended) this morning, after giving up on finding material for my cultural studies assigment due well, today.

On the upside, I kicked his ass through five rounds. Yes, you heard me, five- zilch. On the downside, hey, just realised. there is no downside! I kicked his ass through five rounds. And the balance of power is once more restored and all is right in the world. I surprised myself by being a good winner this time though. No maniacal laughter, no war dances. I even offered him a bit of the sausage I was symbolically (oh, life is good) eating whilst playing - but no, he was pissed off.

Some people are born great (me) , some people acheive greatness (me again) and some people have sausages thrust upon them. It's just one of those facts of life when gaming. If you can't take the heat, go buy yourself a tea set.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

The glory was short lived though. After playing, we (Big Dan & Me) went to the store, and played this swedish game "Herren på Täppan"= "King of The Hill" It's a game where you have to try to hold your fort (at the top of a Hill) by pushing down everyone who tries to conquer this lucrative position.

Well, I lost. On the upside, I learnt how to roll gracefully.
Think it helped [Big] Dan releive some aggression though. Apparantly, the one question you should never ask while someone else is playing Amped (snowboard game) is : "When you fall down like that, is that a good thing, or a bad thing?"

Note to self: if you have nothing good to say, write it down instead.
