"Warrior has shot the food..."
Ah...the last time I actually played "Gauntlet" I was undergoing a voice change and discovering hair in unexpected places. To quote Ryan Stiles from "Whose Line is It, Anyway?" - "What's wrong with me!?"
Last night after the Guad, J-mo, Kyle, Stacey, and I all embarked upon a quest in Gauntlet via the Nintendo Gamecube. That was a LOT of fun. Though, I'm sure that Kailyn may be traumatized by the constant screaming: "Go left!" "No, up, up..." "Look out...it's Death! Death!" "Stop shooting me." "Who's got the key?" "Who's got a potion?"
Ah...of course, it was nice to play without having to scramble for tokens to 'continue game.'
Lately, the Gamecube has filled a big niche (normally filled with much boredom) in our lives. Whether it's Monkey Ball Golf, Mario Kart Double Dash, or Gauntlet, we be having fun. We played Sunday a week ago. We played Sunday night. Who knows, maybe we'll play again soon. All this gaming brings back a LOT of memories of - not just childhood - but also the gang at Mountaintop, where we'd drag the church's Nintendo 64 and projector around to play Mario Kart 64, FIFA soccer, or Goldeneye. (I still hate you, Odd Job). Those were the days...especially when we hooked up Michael's PS2 to the projector at our old house and projected it on a white sheet literally pinned to the ceiling. Nothing like playing SSX on an 8 foot screen.
In other news, I've been cutting back drastically on my soft drink and food consumption. Unfortunately, I've got a whopping headache to go with it. D'oh. Still, I've got to get through this headache phase this time without resorting back to the 'fix' of Mountain Dew.
On a sour note, Kailyn's thrown up twice today. Nothing like a spewing baby to put a damper in your day...still, it's worse on her than it is on me, so I can tough it out for her. (I'm such a jerk-dad, I guess).
KEY PHRASES: "You know how your cell phone can accidentally call someone..." "Warrior is about to die." "Death!" "I'm sorry, did you say something?" "Did Jordan just tell us to get out of her house? Where's the love?" "She's 12 months pregnant." (Funny, Jordan didn't get that joke...maybe that's a good thing).
