So let's have some fun - it's story time!
I didn't actually think about the fact that I was pointing at that emotion when dmunkee said that, but it
works.
Totally brah. Poor dmunkee couldn't take part in our group hi-5 action. :]
And then I GOT MAD. AT IO'S KID. RARRRRRRRRRRRRG.
And with less lag than Brawl!
This is one of the things you do at about 1 in the morning and you know it's stupid, but you are still laughing your ass off because at the sheer lunacy of finding something fun to do with the little actions you can perform in AC.
And then dmunkee had the idea to go on the bottom half of the cliff...
And so then I went, as I was protected with my mighty umbrella. At which point dmunkee made a great observation.
This, my friends, is where shit got
real. We had all commentated earlier in the night that Elvis "is scary" and that "no one likes him" because of his "battle scars" because he was always lookin' for a fight.
We try to contain the threat - to no avail! He kept comin' right for us!
dmunkee> Strell uses bubble! IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! (I missed taking the picture)
Now I missed a picture before this next one, but we proceeded to corral Elvis onto the little outlet, and then trapped him with shuvels so he couldn't come after us anymore. And this was great fun in and of itself, until he pulled out a net. Someone (Janet or Dmunkee, I am sorry I missed the pictured) yelled out
HE'S ARMED
And I spent, literally, the next ten minutes laughing my damn ass off. I literally couldn't keep playing - had to put the controller down, couldn't see, tears streaming down my face - the whole thing.
During that time, he just started staring at me, which began an epic showdown.
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?
WHATCHU WANT OLD MAN? HUH?
HUH?
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonoooooooooooooo I GOT MY POSSE UP INS NAW.
MY HOUSE! THIS IS
MY HOUSE!
Uh uh.
UH UH! O NO U DIDN'T
YOU KNOW IT! SHUVEL2THAGRAVE.
In the interim here, Daisy went off and grabbed a pitfall seed. I saw her bury it behind Elvis, and we had the great idea to push him into it. Well I guess it turns out that NPCs can't fall into them, and all of that resulted in
me falling in.
I was understandably angry, which my emoticon clearly conveys.
OF COURSE YOU AREN'T,
DORK! Roflroforlfroflroflrf.
Dmunkee's comment reduced me to tears
once again. Seriously - watching four people make a half-attempt to coordinate their moves. I think we really WERE playing Wii Music.
And as such, we needed to have parts.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaah. We jammin' now.
Daisy> Hey let's go on a raid.
Everyone else> Indeed!
Daisy> ED'S.
I took a great shining to his lighting fixture. Ho ho!
Shining! Li...
Lighting fixture! I kill me.
Dmunkee teaching Io's kid things he won't understand and will surely ask his father about later, thereby embarassing our mod.
I tried to get a picture of people running into each other when you roll around on the bed, but I kept missing it. Pictures really ought to be saved directly to the SD without the need to authorize it, because it slows down how quickly I can take/save them.
These pictures don't include group efforts to capture mole crickets (we got four!), the fishing competitions we had (dmunkee got a koi, Daisy caught a tuna), musical chairs in the Roost (hilarious), and a game of Pacman in the museum (which - if you got enough shells and had someone hid them and designated one person Pacman and the others ghosts - you could totally set up). We also tried to play Paper-Scissors-Rock with Shovel-Net-Pole, but we couldn't figure out who won. :/ We need to right rules for that. Note: you DO need someone to audibly call out 1 2 3, because you can't type and select an item fast enough for it to work the other way.
Again, this is all the product of playing the game with people who
clearly want to make it fun. I had a blast, and honestly, I didn't expect to. You look at AC and it DOES seem extremely limited, but then you play it with fun people and the possibilities are endless.
Thanks dmunkee, Daisy, and Io/Io's kids for last night. Was truly stupid amounts of fun.
