That's not a bad idea. We should totally work out some details sometime. <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>

Indeed! Sometime after Christmas, ideally. Mom and I plan to go up Cincinnati-ways to do some chores, so maybe we can take Mike along and meet some of you folks halfway for shenaniganery!


Speaking of which, it is noteworthy for the purpose of group entertainment that I have recently invested some money into purchasing a Sega Genesis. For $15, I've acquired the system complete with hookups, a controller, and three games--Sonic, Sonic 2, and also "Last Battle."


"Last Battle" is an incredibly awesome side-scrolling beat-'em-up full of variously-colored ninja. There are also green things which explode rather spectacularly. These are your enemies and you--apparently--are the only one who can save the world (assumedly from variously-colored ninja and green things which explode rather spectacularly).

However, this isn't just any humorously-translated side-scrolling beat-'em-up with a slap-dash excuse for a plot. No--this is a humorously-translated side-scrolling beat-'em-up with a slap-dash excuse for a plot and a Fist of the Cho Aniki style main character. Yes, I think Cho Aniki meets Fist of the North Star is a good description for...for this thing I am trying to describe.

This digital man of pixels knows how to pose. He jumps, he poses. He punches, he poses. He kicks, he poses. Jump kicks? Why, yes, he poses. And, of course, like any good man out to save the world, his shirt routinely bursts into pieces as his muscles suddenly bulge with righteousness. You can trigger this using the quaintly termed "power-up ability."

The power-up ability is truly awesome because it lets you punch and kick more quickly. Since your kicks sound like gunshots, powered-up kicking sounds like you're operating a machine gun. Rattattattattat!

I speculate that the inclusion of this (fantastic) ability might has something to do with the ridiculous number of enemies thrown into your path. However, sheer numbers is really the only chance the enemy has against you--you are such a righteous dude of world-savingness that your punches and kicks send both your enemies and their weapons flying off-screen by the merest sliver of contact.


In conclusion, think we need to pool our efforts into fully exploiting the awesome of this game. Also, Sonic, and maybe other Genesis games, if I or any of you folks find any others in the Goodwills and such.


I also got the thingy which'll allow me to play DS games online. :H I haven't hooked it up yet, since these aren't my computar machines. Though we did bring our laptop, come to think of it. <p>
