(At least in my experience)
This is a classic battleground that I have watched many times inside of the past, slaps, yelling, phones, and above all death. Ok maybe not, but this is still pretty hilarious to watch. Everywhere is a potential battleground, ever place a potential battle. In fact this very evening I sit, having watched a epic clash having gone down, thankfully everyone left of this battle happy.
Tonight we had, Charlie-i-don't-know vs. Michael-game addict. Tonight Charlie comes in from, a good hour or so away. Michael comes in from the band practice, and the fight is on. The night starts easy enough, Michael and Charlie go out to get something to eat, and come back to myself playing Metal Gear Solid 4. The suggestion is made by him to play some brawl, Charlie does not wish to play herself. A good three matches in, which is roughly 10-minutes, Charlie simply is staring at Michael, and the gauntlet is thrown...
"What do you want me to pay attention to you know?"
"No"
A quick start off, Michael declares at the start of the next match it will be his last, promptly, finishes and asks Charlie what she wants to do. She doesn't know thought, so Michael throws the next strike.
"Want to play?"
A trick ment to include but really is just another excuse to feed the habit. She says no, so he says what do you want to do than, and again she has nothing. Michael picks up the controller once more. About this time, half way through the match, Charlie leaves and goes into another room.
I feel obligated to cut in, I tell him straightly, he is inept. Also somewhat of a dipshit. After words, Michael leaves and meets the locked door, of anger. He than wins the battle with one quick word toss " If you don't unlock it i'll just go back to playing video games". The door gets unlocked shortly after.
Everyone appears to have one somewhat, (slash the loser seems to be somewhat alright)
This is not a uncommon event, I have witnessed it many times before. In the Past a friend of mine, lets call him Oleg. Oleg is a damn good looking fellow, works out and plays hockey, a big pretty boy. Naturally he hangs out with me, because thats my type of friend (HA). One night, three weeks after Resident Evil 4 is released, a challenger approaches. This time its Oleg's girlfriend calling on a friday night, the cell phone rings and its a duel she doesn't even know about.
Oleg has lightning fast reflexes, opens the phone and gets right to work. Oleg quickly goes into the small talk before she suggests hanging out, instantly he has his response. "Uh, crap, sorry I can't I have hockey practice tonight". Just like that he has won, she never had a chance. She was good looking, a little short on brains but that was sorta Olegs type. The awesomeness is not known to most people, Oleg never even pressed pause or stopped playing.
I have never understood this part of the Gamer, the utter rejection and hiding inside of video games. People are replaced in order to play another hour or so, not to lie I've come into the Arena close before. At one point in time, a particular girl showed up slightly earlier than I expected, I played the remaining three minutes, to the cringe of this particular female. To be fair, I was playing that game for over half an hour and just needed to end. I've really never had this problem before, most girls I have been involved with would beat the shit out of me I think if I snubbed them for a video game. I'm glad about that.
