Brave Little Toasters (Blog #14)

Oh, hello, Jacob. Ready to play through some more New Super Mario Bros. U? Nintendo Land? Oh, you want to go to the Internet Browser? That's fine with me; you're probably just going to make your daily checks of Cracked and Zelda Informer. Alright, now that that's done, it's time to- hey, wait, why are you switching the TV display (using my controller no less)? Why are you switching on your old Playstation 2?! Hello! I'm right here, next generation of gaming and all. That piece of junk is older than the Wii! What can it possibly have that I don't? Oh, Persona 4? Sure, whatever, not like I won't have better Japanese Role Playing Games a few months from now.

Oh come on! You mean to tell me that you're ignoring me in favor of grinding (leveling up by killing many enemies for a long period of time)? Oh, no, I see, you're using my controller's screen to watch Youtube videos on the side. Great, I've been relegated to a video player in favor of a console from two generations ago. Don't you have a laptop for this anyway? You could use that inste- Wait, really? You're reading articles online with your laptop, using me as a video player, and grinding in Persona 4?! If grinding in Persona 4 was really that mindless and boring to you, why didn't you just play Nintendo Land?!

Oh, man, it's been almost ten hours. Sure, there were a couple of cool story moments that popped up, but I swear to God if I have to play one more College Humor or Dorkly video that you just saw yesterday, I'm going to find my own way to "Red Ring." Please, just let me rest. You have a laptop that's already open, just rely on that for now; I'm begging you. How much time have you invested into this game anyway? Sixty hours?! Jeez, these kinds of games really suck you in, huh? Well, at this point, the game should almost be done, right? And you'll be back to playing me in one or two days... right?

(Note: the game actually took me a little over one hundred hours in total to beat)
