'You're not supposed to fly into the walls, Kev…'

alternateorg on July 20, 2001

From the ‘Things don’t ever change, do they?’ department… I sort of unoffically took this week off, as my projects all seemed to be in a waiting period or didn’t need to be started for a few days. So what did I do with me semi-time off, the first I’ve had since, ahem, October of last year? Well, I found myself re-enamored with the whole ’emulation’ syndrome.. you know, using an app called an emulator to play games that you have no business playing on a 32bit processor and a 32mb video card… Games like.. Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3… Super Dodge Ball, Castlevania, Baseball Stars, Casino Kid, Super Mario World, Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, Blades of Steel, California Games… the list goes on and on. And what I noticed? I instinctively thought of calling up scott and asking him where the ‘magic fairy who gives you a better boomerang’ was in Link to the Past.. I found myself still adept at Captain Skyhawk, but atrocious at Starfox, which was to be expected. Things never really do change, but I can still kick all your asses at Quake 3 Arena, no matter how many times my cousins beat me 20-0 at Baseball Stars.

    the dorkiest/coolest thing i’ve ever seen was baz’s complete map of the zelda 1 overworld on his wall. i realized i should print out the zelda 3 overworld map, considering how i am the true master of that game. poor kev, you’ll have skill at some video game someday. oh yeah, get chrono trigger. you’ll thank me later.
