Someone shoot me.

Oh man. Okay. So I went to go hang with a friend of mine today. And we went out to eat, which was nice and filling. Then we stopped by Gamestop, and I told them how much I wanted to work there. Of course, not because Burger King sucks. Because I want to work a game place. Yeah. *cough* Anyways, while we were there, my friend shoved a game into my hands called "Elite Beat Agents", and he told me I needed to play it. I frowned and looked at it oddly.

"It's a music game."

"Is that one of the games I have to play?" ((See my list.))

Well, I got it on the condition he'd play with me ((and all of you thinking to call me a hypocrite here can go die)). So we did. And then I had to go home, and I picked it up and played it at home. Now, lemme tell you, I'm horrible at rhythm games. Really, really suck at them. It's bad to watch and I just failed horribly the first few times I played (sorry! ^^;)

But now, I still suck, but I'm having a LOT of fun playing this shit. You play the game as the Elite Beat Agents (surprise) and you interfere in various people's troubles. For instance, the first level (I think?) is a babysitter has the guy of her dreams (football star lawls) over and she wants to ask him to go steady when she gets a buncha kids dumped on her. Then they ruin everything and the football player threatens to leave if the kids don't. The babysitter then screams for help in the following way:

"HEEEEAAAAAALP!!!"

I think that's actually how it's spelled, or close. Anyways, then the Elite Beat Agents are sent in to help the babysitter and they get the kids all to sleep and the babysitter and the football player have a happy ending. OR SO THEY DO IF YOU DO WELL. The outcome of the person's situation depends on whether you do well in the song or not. So if you cock it up, they get screwed. Don't feel any pressure now, DO YA?!

Anyways...I must confess, I have fallen in love with the simplicity and insane fun of the game. And there's a stage where these two celebrity divas get stranded on an island and use their looks (and breasts) to charm the animals into being their servants. It's ridiculous.

It's set to the song "Material Girl" and it's one of the most fun songs ever. Say what you will about it, if you picked it up and played it, you would be saying the same thing even though the little story events are ridiculous, because the really insane timing you need to get it right is a lot of fun and...and...

Oh fuck it. I'm going to go play it again.

Want to tell this author what you think, but you don't want anyone else to see it? Think she's full of it and need to set her straight? Want to worship the ground she walks on? Well, good luck with that last one, but you can email Chrys at catharticgamer@yahoo.com and at least tell her what you think.
