Chapter VIII: Playing Other Consoles is a No-No


So there was very little activity on this blog this weekend. That is my fault. I'd like to say I had a good reason for this, something along the lines of helping those in need by climbing Mount Kilimanjiro, or helping elderly ladies cross the street.

But in reality I was taken in by another console, not just that....a SEGA MEGA DRIVE!

*Cue dramatic Danny Elfman music*

For my housemates 21st birthday me and Dan bought him a Sega Mega Drive and 11 games for £30 off a friend.

Now naturally, if you have a new (ish) console in the house, you are going to play it.

Boy did we play it.


Mainly the pure beauty that is Sonic the Hedgehog 2. (we have Sonic the Hedgehog but that got by-passed. No super charge? WTF?)

Several times over the past 3 days that game has been put on, and each time we play the same levels, getting to the same point, before we are distracted and have to start all over again. (no saves= gay)


Super Street Fighter II we also have; funnily enough easier to master than IV.

We also have some random games like Two Tribes? Mig-29? and some crazy Dungeons and Dragons game where you are attacked by bears with shields.

All the while I have played about 2 hours of XBox all weekend (mainly Saints Row 2), have no achievements to show for it, and my progression is getting seriously hampered.

So in conclusion, to take something away with you from today's rant:

Don't live in a house with 2 XBox360s, a Super Nintendo, a Wii, a PS2 and a Sega Mega Drive II.

You will get distracted.
