Game point!

Yesterday was a very enjoyable day. One of those days I looked forward to. I got a call from one of my friends saying that their exams were over and we could meet up and have some multiplayer fun. I agreed to the notion and was looking forward to it. The plan was that they head to my place by 1 PM. They did. Met 2 good friends after a very long time. Time to have a blast.

When they came over I was busy playing Onimusha 3. One of them was like "Dude! Give me this game!". (Both their names are Vishal; let's call them Vishal 1 and Vishal 2; so here Vishal 2 asked me for the game.)

I hadn't configured project64 so started doing that. I couldn't find the proper plugin for Mario Tennis, since it was on my old computer and I was lazy to connect the hard drive here. I thought it would be easy to get it on the net, but nope. So we decided to play some Mario party first.

Booted up Mario Party. I chose Mario, Vishal 1 chose Wario and Vishal 2 chose Luigi. If you're looking for a fun party game, Mario Party's the name; Trust me. Loads of fun and laughs. One of the plus points of offline multiplayer is that you can laugh out hard at friends when they are screwed and vice versa. And we sure had a lot of laughs. A lot! Laughter is the best medicine. (There you go lol; I always wonder why people use proverbs in statements; Is it to show how smart they are? Or just showing off?) So were busy for around 1 hour trying to collect coins, stars, steal some and overthrow the other fellows. I was going to win, but Peach (computer opponent) got lucky and won.

After that, Vishal2 revealed his 8 GB pen drive (virus included) and plugged it in. He took some stuff from me. While the data was being copied, we watched a bit of Bruce Lee and Shaolin Kung Fu and a bit of Dark Knight as well. We also had some nice hot tea while we watched.

4 PM. Time for a power cut. MSEB didn't forget. We expected the power to be restored in about an hour, but it came back in 15 minutes. We decided to go out to get a snack. We met up with another friend, Sameer, who also joined us as we headed to Foodland. Burgers? Rolls? So close to my place? Wow. Had no idea and hadn't bothered earlier until now. So went inside and ordered 3 veg rolls and a chicken roll. Sameer and the Vishals got into a discussion about CS and LAN. I told Sameer to bring his laptop after my exams and we could have some LAN gaming. Ah, our rolls were ready! Yum!

Next, the plan was to have burgers. 3 veg burgers and a chicken burger that would be. I went to collect my burger. ~Static~ Ack! The moment I touched the plate I got a static shock and I let go of the plate. Damn. The burger fell with cutlet and stuff on my jeans. Damn what a mess! I lost a burger there. :( But the owner was kind enough to get a me a roll in place of the burger. Lol this time I was a bit hesitant to take the roll from him. "Don't be scared. Take it." I was bit embarassed about the incident though. Might have been the plastic chair I was sitting on. He was kind not to charge for the wasted burger. Next time I want a burger or a roll Im gonna get it from Foodland. Its so close by. Anyways...our tummies filled, we went back to my place. I again looked for the plugin for Mario Tennis but in vain. After browsing through my CD wallets, I finally found a backup CD. Ah good! We finally enjoyed a few matches. It was real fun. Lots of laughs, solid gameplay, multiplayer fun, funny comments and 100% enjoyability; everything that Mario Tennis offered. Awesome game. Vishal 2 wanted Populous: The Beginning badly so I torrented it and found it. 308 MB. Downloaded in about about one and a half hour. Wow. My net's speedy nowadays. We played some Smash Bros rounds while it downloaded. Vishal 2 played as Kirby while I played as Mario and then later, Link. Vishal 1 chose to watch. After the download completed, we gave Populous a try. Pretty cool game. At first I found the sounds and voices funny but its a pretty good game. Mission accomplished for Team Vishal. 8 PM. Planning to have more multiplayer fun and LAN gaming after my exams. After they left I had dinner. Aamti, rice, fried papad and batata bhaji with onions and garam masala. I was happy. I look forward to more multiplayer mayhem after my exams.
