Isn't college great?
It's the end of a long hard day of traveling back to Boca Raton from Tampa Bay, and I just wanna wind down.
What could be more calming than trying to beat your own personal record on your favorite video game?
The Legend of Zelda; Twilight Princess, on the Wii is such a fun game. I just restarted my game, intent of finishing the entire game in less 74 hours and 12 minutes. That has been my goal for the past year. Usually, when I started to get to about 64 hours of gameplay, I've let my little brother do his favorite dungeon, the Ice mansion one. Problem is, is that he's always added about 10 hours to my time, thusly obliterating my chances of completing the following 3 or 4 dungeons in less than 4 hours without cheating by using walkthroughs.
What's the fun in a game when you're following instructions off a laptop? No thanks, I'll beat the record my own way. Which entails saving at the beginning of a dungeon and if I get lost, just wander around, figure it out, then turn the Wii off and then back on and Zooming through it.
And no, that's not the same as using a walkthrough. Wanna know why? Because I'm doing it myself, AND I gotta memorize it, not just pause and read up, step-by-step.
It's dark out, and I'm pretty hungry, but my hair is undone and I'm already in my pajamas. What's a gamer to do for food in times of need?
Why turn to my personal stash of cup ramen and other snacks of course.
Looking through my snack cabinet however, I realize that my resources are seriously depleted. I've got 3 cup ramens left, a pack of fruit cup snacks, 3 trail mix bars left, a pack of saltine crackers, and a bag of mini wheats cereal. Normally, the cereal would be the best option whilst gaming, but I have no milk at the moment, and have no desire to find pants and money to go and get some. At the back of the cabinet though, almost completely obscured by the trail mix bars and saltines I found my savior.
A can of chef Boyardee, from an age long since past.
The Snack Gods have smiled down upon me.
Now to end this dungeon in 45 motherfucking minutes or less.
I'm ready for my next challenge college, what'll you throw at me next?
