Can't Let You Do That Star Fox!

Rob left a few days ago. Haven't really done much since, aside from get my phone ruined and act like a raging douche bag to telemarketers. Yeah, dropped it in a pool. It didn't work at all, so I took out the memory card and put it in my old phone, the one I used in high school. Works great, now I just need to find a charger.

Saw Hancock. First half hour was great. The rest was shit.
Wanted was better. Will probably see Hellboy II soon.
Still don't have a job. Haven't filmed in a while either. Being productive is overrated.

In 4th grade, I got an N64, two controller and two games of my choice. At the time, this was the greatest birthday present ever. The games I picked were Star Fox 64 and Wayne Gretsky's 3d hockey. Both were excellent, but Wayne Gretsky's 3d hockey was only good multiplayer. As a result, I played a lot of Star Fox. This got to the point that I was literally play the single player mode 5 times a week just because I had nothing better to do. Where were my parents? Lets just say without them, I never would've stopped. That's how much I loved this game. Hell, I can quote practically every level of it. Its both scary and pathetic at the same time.

The other day, Steff was over and in our immense collective boredom, we decided to pull out my N64. Initially we were going to play some Mario Kart, but I couldn't find the fucking cartridge anywhere so I popped in Star Fox. She plays the first level, dies twice, then finally kills the boss. This is the easy route boss mind you. The one with the AT-ST looking thing with the oh-so-explodable legs. While she managed to save Falco from getting shot down, she somehow didn't fly through all the arches so she couldn't fly through the waterfall since Falco didn't find it necessary to one up Fox by "finding the target". Anyway, I played through the asteroid belt, and somehow missed the warp before easily killing the boss. We took turns going through it up until Macbeth, the tank level with the huge-ass train and the incredibly queer southern sounding boss that never shuts up. At that point I turned into a douche and insisted on finishing it up. To make a long story short, the game time with Steff playing a few levels was about fifty minutes. After walking her back, I immediately got back on the console and did the quickest route I knew of. Forty minutes. Back in 6th grade I could play through it in half and hour. So I tried it again. Forty five minutes. Fuck. Finally, on my forth play through of the night, I got 32:16 for my time. It was three in the morning at this point so I rounded down and called it a night. Star Fox is serious business.
