| Well, I figured out what I'm sick with, finally. It's just a head cold, thankfully, and not all that bad of one either. Yesterday my nose was itchy and plugged up for the whole day and it looks like more of the same today. At least it's not so bad that I have to breath through my mouth, though. I always hate having to walk around with my mouth hanging open, lol.
A friend came over yesterday, and then we gave him a ride to the Friday night Bible study that I go to. We had a couple hours in between him getting here and having to leave for the Bible study, so we played some videogames. Despite having a GameCube, my Nintendo 64 is still the king of multi-player. I only have two multiplayer GCN games so far, and one of them's Animal Crossing -- which can't actually be played by two people at the same time. I can't wait till I get Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Wasting simulants in Perfect Dark was fun, playing matches with us on blue team, two easysims on red team, and an easy and normalsim on yellow team. (Yeah, I know, really easy matches. I've never been all that good, and he hasn't played very much, so shaddup lol). Rocket/granade launchers are always fun in the G5 Building, heh. That and automatics in the Warehouse. I found an awesome place to set up Laptop Guns in the Warehouse level.
We also played Gauntlet Legends; dang it'd been a long time since I played that game. We went through the valcano levels, him on a new character and me on Ganon, my level 40 wizard (who went up a few levels while playing). For what it is -- a basic hack and slash game -- it's a lot of fun when you're playing with a other people.
If I had more opportunities to play with others, I'd try and get Gauntlet: Dark Legacy for the GCN. I could probably get it used for not too much, since it's pretty old by now, but I doubt I'd get to play it with other people very much. Being busy with school, I can't get together with friends all that often, and my brother probably wouldn't be that interested.
Sigh...such is the life of a solo gamer. Back buring the N64 days, I had more people to play with, so I actually have almost all multiplayer games. Now with the GCN, it's just the opposite. Times change I guess... I wonder whether single- or multi-player games will make up the majority of my library for Nintendo's next console? Maybe they'll have online games by then. | |
