rubahHello, Livejournal!
My dovely has joined me for the break. We've started replenishing my stock of NES games, so that means playing some NES games.
We finished Dragon Warrior at level 20! Basically killed the final boss form with the last hit we could withstand ;)
We got Shatterhand, Super Mario Bros+Duckhunt, and Super C at one of the game "thrift" stores. With Shatterhand, he was playing, and made it to the final level, which obliterated him a couple of times, so he was out of lives and would have to continue, but there was no check-point in the level. He was frustrated, and I was frustrated with him for being hung up on something so simple, so I went to bed in a huff, and when he didn't show for a while, went back out as he'd lost his last life.
On the continue? screen, he turned the television off and apologized, putting the controller down, so we kissed and made up.
The next morning, we turned the television back on, to see that not only were we not on the continue screen, but were at the place he'd been the night before...
Fate rewarding those who take the time to learn and grow from their experiences?
SMB was hella difficult to get loaded. My replacement console is finicky, but eventually the selection screen came up, and we got through the first three worlds and the graphics... went to hell, basically. Then got worse.
But we got video footage of it!
Anyway, I ended my semester on a strong note, feel pretty good about my relationship, and have [most] my christmas presents boughten.
And my sister got married today! To a guy that my nephews seem to adore, so I'll trust their judgment for now ;)
