Yesterday, Nick Senn contacted me on I.M. claiming that he'd been reading my site. It's funny how in the past week or so I've had a few random people admit to me that they visit. Thanks for the anonymous support guys!
Anyway, last night I ran out with Jack, Jared and Jenny to get some dinner and a slurpee. Jack and Jared have these rediculously large 'mugs' that get them 79 cent slurpees for some limited time. I had to laugh.
But that's not my real story.
The real story for me revolves around the fact that I've fallen as one of the respected 'elders' of the Super Smash Bros. In fact, Jared has risen up (an event I saw coming back in August), but also Erik Bergset! I mean, really, who would have thought that guy could ever become so proficient with Yoshi of all characters?
As for me, my place now lies on the fringes, the 'second tier' if you will. Jack's there with me and he's damn decent with Link, so I know I have some support. These young upstarts just need to start recognizing who was playing this game while they were still driving on their permit. Can I get an Amen, Jack?
Jack's Amen:
Yeah man, these crazy kids and their Smash skillz...I'm so up and down, usually I lose or get 2nd or 3rd, but sometimes I just waste the shit out of them...it's funny. We'll be among equal company when it's Tim, Luke, you and I next semester. The Elders will rise again.
Posted by: E BERG at December 9, 2003 8:58 PMDude. I had no idea you used to be good at Smash Bros! Based on your skill level from our last battle I thought that must have been the first time you had ever played the game, or the N64, or witnessed video games in general. I half expected you to faint when you realized that the knobby things we were holding in our hands controlled the characters on the screen, and we weren't just watching some perverted cartoon where whatever character you had chosen got its ass handed to it. Don't worry though man, I'm sure all it will take for you to come in first is for Jared and I to physically leave the country / hemisphere. I have a feeling you'll be back on your knees in no time! E
