The other day I had the day off work, so I was sleeping in past 1pm as I so love doing. So I am in bed, half awake, and the phone rings. Turns out to be a freaking telemarketer. So I am about to climb back into bed when what do I hear from the other room?
GAME!!I go into the family room and there is my mom, playing Super Smash Bros: Melee adventure mode. Getting her ass beat too. So after watching her for a while and tring to give her tips she blames the character on her sucking so she goes back to the character select screen. Turns out she was playing on the Very Hard setting.
"Well I was have to easy a time with easy mode, but that hand guy was a little hard."
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY MOTHER!!!!
Turns out she had been playing since 9am, and she kept playing tell 4pm. Only reason she stopped was to cook dinner. I am amazed she made it through a whole run of SSBM. I mean she didn't even know what a smash attack was. So we play a little vs the AI, good times. Few days later she was playing again, and I was like "Hey this monkey ball game has some fun multiplayer stuff in it" So there we are, playing monkey billiards for 3 hours! So much fun.
So tonight my dad was watching some car race (as my dad always does) and my mom couldn't play on the big tv in the family room. She comes into my room asking how hard it would be to hook the system up to her TV up stairs. After a few seconds to wrap my head around that shocker I tell her it wouldn't be worth the time. (it wouldn't the AC adapter brick is behind all the components, annoying to dig out)
So right now it is cool. I can play Cube with my mom. But soon the Puzzle collection will come out. When that happens, and my mom finds out about it, my gamecube will be lost to me forever. This woman is a Dr Mario adict. When I had the original Gameboy I got a copy of Dr Mario. For almost three years I didn't get to play my gameboy. My mom
starts on level 20. Have you ever seen anyone get to level 28 in Dr Mario? I have. It is crazy sick. I know that if I get the Puzzle Collection my mom while take over my cube and I won't ever get to play.
I am torn. I get Puzzle Collect, which I really really want, and I lose my gamecube the the Dr Mario beast which is my mother. Or I could not get Puzzle Collection and enjoy some muliplayer gaming with my mom everonce and a while. Argh! Choices!
I might break down and get another AC adapter to put in her room. I already have a video cable. At least that way there will be minimal cable rat nests.
