Vulgar Hide-And-Seek

this is the aftermath post of last night.

i was playing shadow hearts 1. but you don't need to know shadow hearts 1 to know what i'm talking about.

you know the game hide-and-seek?? basically some smart ass thought it was a good idea to load the game hide-and-seek inside shadow hearts 1, some macabre RPG. then, there are four kids to find, and they are in each different room. and there are only 5 rooms, one of each is the starting point. you are to find the kids within 60secs. considering the size of the rooms and the locations of the kids (predictable to boot), it shouldn't be a prob...

CURSES!

my PS2 is about 6yrs old now, and so it's a little laggy.

some smart programmer decided that it was a good idea to let the timer run even when going through doors/screens!!! (if you've played RPGs, you will know that going through screens will make the screen fade to black and require some loading time for the next map)

just getting out of the first door took me 15secs. and it varies from anywhere between 6secs to 22secs.

i swear... this is the most vulgar hide-and-seek i've ever played. (bolded for dramatic purposes.)

i' played a full hour of this bo liao game!!!

now you're probably wondering... why don't i just give up? if it's so irritating and bo liao and you know, just unnecessary, why give myself high blood pressure for more than an hour over something like this???

that's the thing. it's necessary for a very important sidequest.
if it's a sidequest, is it important???

you bet.

i have to play this sick game to get the Emigre Document/Manuscript.

now this Emigre Document is darn important.
the Emigre Document is one of the 3 magic books from the Vatican, the other 2 books namely Pulse Tract and the Codex of Lurie. they were stolen by Cardinal Albert Simon, a man who summoned God to cleanse our rotten putried Earth!!! full of elitists like Rasputin, Nicholai and Banana!!! (actually i forgot who's the last bad guy) the Emigre Document can revive the DEAD!!! (though the NPCs have only managed to revive monsters)

that's how important it is!!!

and the fate of the world lies in the hands of a stupid laggy uncouth game of hide-and-seek!!!

this is basically the vulgarity involved
"LJ!!!"
"KANIN..."
"wAH LAOOOO!! F*CKKKKK"
"get outta my #*(&49*#@&$ way and just let me get the fracked up Emigre Document!!!"

i was like a crazed possessed frenzied demon, trying to tear the kids apart and hurling abuse at the timer...

i was in such despair, that i considered dropping by the game shop and begging the uncle to just let me borrow the new ps2 systems for 10mins...

i was overwhelmed... "will i...be defeated by some silly nostalgic game of 60sec f*cked up hide-and-seek?" i was so sad i went to talk to the lady standing around the starting point, even though i knew what she'd say... "I decided to take care of the kids cuz i love kids" or something like that. but no. she said,

"I'm so happy you came to find me!" (or...something like that.)

my first thought: "are you mad?"

then i realised: one of the random hide locations is in the starting room!!! (incidentally, another room would sometimes have no kids at all and i couldn't understand where the kid was......)

that was after about 1hr+ of hide-and-seek.

it was like, renewed hope.

i can save bloody 10secs with this new knowledge!!!

i loaded, loaded and re-loaded for the kid to appear in the room. yes, she's there! i made mad dashes to every other rooms... i dared not look at the time... and i ran back to starting point, molesting the behind of the woman who loves kids (basically the kid is hiding behind her if you haven't realised that yet)... and talked to the snobbish idiot who's blocking my path to a super duper important book (looks the Vatican would have to go through the same horrors as me to retrieve their stolen treasure...)...

i still had 6 secs left!!!

WHOOPEEE!!!!!

i'd never quite expected myself to be the type to explode with joy at something stupid like getting 50% off the shops in games or even winning a game of hide-and-seek, but i guess i am. =_= never mind i screamed in joy. i threw my fists around like i just scored a goal or something. sigh.

embarrassment aside.

I BEAT THAT F*CKED UP EXCUSE FOR A HIDE-AND_SEEK GAME HAHHHH

this is something i've been thinking to update about for the entire day. imagine the sheer joy in getting that piece of bone like book (the Emigre Document is basically a retarded book in the shape of a skull).

not even laggy ps2s or scratched discs or smart ass programmers can defeat my will to beat the damned game. i am amazed by my diligence in games...and only games. #$&(#@&%#%
