Console Gaming Buddies, Part 2
Merry Christmas to all! I won't be online for several days so I'd better get that message out while I'm still able. :)As promised, Fritzkrieg was over to play games yesterday. The actual gaming must have went on for between six and eight hours--it's hard to say exactly. When it was all over, neither of us could fully remember all of the games that we'd played.
There was Street Fighter III: The Third Strike, Resident Evil 4, We Love Katamari, Burnout: Revenge, Gradius V, Parappa the Rapper 2, Amplitude, 1943 Kai, Gun.Smoke, Ghosts and Goblins, Ico, Zelda II: The Adventures of Link, and, oddly enough, over a full hour of Zelda: Majora's Mask to round out the evening (we stopped after the game crashed.) I may have missed one or two titles. There was no Soul Calibur III or NBA Street Vol. 2 this time, and we didn't crack into the Dreamcast titles, although that was suggested at one point.
As you can see, we were just all over the map--playing whatever, whenever, however. It didn't matter the genre, era, or platform; we just let our whims run wild, and the results were spectacular. It's really a shame that the two of us couldn't make a full-time living out of playing video games for 40 hours every week. It's also a shame that I won't be seeing Fritzkrieg again for a long while.

It was sheer uninhibited madness. We needed sugar/caffiene and another ten hours at least.
Majora's Mask was surprisingly addictive. The more focused story (at least at the beginning) made it more interesting to me than Ocarina of Time.
It's a damn shame that we won't get to do that again for a while. it was awesome. by the way - i think you forgot to mention Mega Man.. um... 4 and 6, I think.
Interesting note: at my parents' house, we dug out our old Texas Instruments TI/88. Space Invaders. Nice.
Yeah, Mega Man 5 was definitely in there, and I think Mega Man 7 or something. We didn't play Mega Man 4, but we talked about it possibly being one of the weaker ones. :)
