Butt Kicking Fun
We've introduced WildChild to the joys of X-Box. So far his favorite game has been Final Fight....primarily I suspect because it's one of the few games he can actually play. Sorta. It's hilarious because WildChild talks to the game just like it could hear him. And he sounds like some badly dubbed dialogue from a Japanese kung-fu movie.
"Oh, you want a piece of me? I will give you a piece of me."
And Mike made the mistake of telling him to punch more because they were getting their butts kicked. Then it was "Pa, why do those bad guys want to kick our butts? Pa, why are we kicking the bad guys' butts? HaHa! Come over here bad guy and I will kick your butt! Ma, come watch me kick the bad guy's butt!"
*ahem* Pa will have to be more careful with his choice of phrases I think.
Alas, WildChild hasn't quite grasped the concept of not hitting your partner, which in this game makes the partner die. And since his primary battle plan is to punch wildly in every direction, it can be frustrating to try to play the game with him. You die. A lot. Through no fault of your own.
Anyway, he & I finally beat the game yesterday afternoon and rescued 'his girl'. He was suitable impressed, or so I thought until I was trying to get him to play Street Fighter II with me.
"What's that game?"
"We fight each other," I said.
"Nah," he said. "That's not enough challenge for me."
Funny, that's kinda what I was thinking about him.
