I am not a happy guy.
I bought a GameCube. Yes, I know what you're thinking. "Your Lordship! You've just acquired a GameCube!? Wiis are the in system now!" True. But, unfortunately, my bond to the old school is stronger than most. Until now, the only system I had was a N64. Old-school, but it was what I had.
Unlike most people, I had to work for mine. I had to make many sacrifices, just so I could have it. I had to make and sell 131 embroidery cards, this I did last year, and then only until now, could I have it.
Well, there I was, in high spirits, hurrying home to play it, and then we did.
They were quite different from that of the 64. I watched a promotional video of SSBM, but seriously it didn't prepare me for the display the GameCube brought forth. MY younger brother and I hooked up Smash Bros. Melee, and I played first as Zelda, and he was Fox. It was plenty of fun. The first few games, I was trying to learn which button does what, and Paulie beat me. Then, we played Shadow the Hedgehog. MentalMyles mentioned in one of his posts on SheezyArt that it is a law that whenever you buy a Nintendo console, there must be a Mario game. Well, I have violated this law.
All well, and good, but our fun was cut short when Paul noticed that there was smoke coming from the power cable. And so I pulled it away, after only three hours of play.
Little did I know then that was only a sign of what to come.
I spent all day, thinking about what I would do, mastering the controls of SSBM, then having all-out battle with Paul, and also adding to my collection of games. But alas, that was not to be.
The next day, my cousin John Paul came over, and I was busy bragging about how I had a GameCube, and how I had all kinds of cool games. Then we hooked it up. The power light on the deck kept flickering, and would picture would flicker too.
then all of a sudden, it went out.
During our many ingenious schemes to get the thing working, I finally learned the awful truth.
The power cable was fried.
And that really angers me, because I worked for this system. I had to make and sell 131 cards, give the money to a friend so he could buy it, wait for someone to bring it over, and the thing just blows on me just like that!
So it means that it's still old school for me. All that hard work, and the !@$%$%#%# cable dies on me. So, it looks like it's still the old school. And what's really bad is that I haven't even had time to play the games I bought. I was looking forward to seeing for myself all the wonders of Twilight Princess, Shadow the Hedgehog, and others.
Did I mention that I got a headache after playing the GameCube? I guess it was I wasn't used to the graphics of the GameCube.
So, I guess I will work on High School Murdercal 2, and get annoyed every time I think of the GameCube which I sacrificed so much to obtain.
