What to Do On a Rainy Day

Games, games, and more games. That's what you do, anyone would agree. With my extra day off from school, thats basically all i did. First, there was Quelf, the best board game you will ever play in your entire life. It's basically a random mixture of different cards that you have to obey to get to the end. I've mentioned this incredible game on several different blogs. Either way, this time I played with Mikey and His friend, Will, who kept insisting that he was "too cool for this game" when he lost. One of my favorite cards was the one that procliamed "Every time a phone or doorbell goes off, everyone must stand up and say 'Pizza Party!' The last player to do so must pay the penalty". I also enjoyed Will and Mikey's Pantomimed Airplane Safety Demonstration. It was pretty hilarious, to say the least.

The next game id like to talk about is "Just Dance" for the Nintendo Wii. It's an odd game, i will admit, because it looks a heck of a lot easier than it actually is. The goal is to score as high as you can by selecting a song and imitating whatever dance move the character on the screen is doing, all while holding your remote so the sensors can detect it. The key is to really suck at dancing. Seriously! lol  My mom would barely move at all, she was off-beat, and she randomly spazzed out when the dance got a little faster, and yet she scored off the charts, often in the 500-600 range. Meanwhile, Dad and I would hit every step perfect, in perfect rythm, and we could barely scrape by with a measely 100-200 score! It's a workout, though, and by the time youve finished a few songs you're sweating, exhausted, and hungry. lol

Spyro 2 for the Playstation 1 was my final game, though i definitely spent the most time on it. I perfected every level in Summer Forest and all but 2 of the levels in Autumn Plains, all in one day. I havent played the game in years, so everything was still new to me. I think some of the hardest quests ive done today were completing "Ocean Speedway", keeping the semi-suicidal baby turtles from jumping into the strange bird's soup in "Sunny Beach", the trolley quest in "Breeze Harbour", and pretty much everything in "Magma Cone". Im really getting into the game, though, and so far i've rediscovered how easy it is to fall in love with a trustworthy Playstation 1. Sometimes it's the simple things in life, like board games and older gaming systems, that are the must entertaining.

Stay Fun! ;)
