It’s Thursday again, four and a half hours of consecutive breaks. I don’t hate breaks, but I can’t love that four and a half hours break too. Originally, the plan for today is to watch Tom Cruise in the cinemas doing some killing (from film – Last Samurai). That didn’t happen. Instead, we went to Zhi Yuan’s house and watch Zhi Yuan in his room doing some killing in Tekken 4 with his game console.
The plan was nearly perfect, asides for playing Poker, Dai Dee, Blackjack, Playstation 2 games, FHM (For Him Magazine) and watching Ben over-reacting while playing games. Anyway to summarize, we went to his house for Poker, Dai Dee, Blackjack and Playstation 2. I don’t get this Poker game actually. Neither Blackjack too. I just don’t see the fun in it at all. As for Dai Dee, well, it’s alright I guess. I’m not into card-based games.
So I ended up playing console games. Zhi Yuan popped in Tekken 4 and initiate a competition with me. What’s Tekken 4? I am clueless before playing, it’s some fighting game that is like Dead or Alive 3 and Soul Caliber 2.
The game started – Zhi Yuan vs. Me. Wait, let me recall when’s the last time I held a game controller. 5 months ago perhaps? Oh, it’s a Playstation 2 controller, I never touch it before. I touched the XBOX one at a gaming store 5 months ago. My virgin try on the Playstation 2 controller.
I gripped the controller tightly. Zhi Yuan gave me some advices. The others stop playing games and start watching the game. [All has never play this game before.] I tested the buttons out. Okay, so this is kick and this is punch and this is kick and this is also kick and this is also kick. Now how the hell am I going to play?
I slide my thumb across all the buttons of the right. My character jumped, kicked and punched. Wow. I start pressing buttons at random. I wasn’t even looking at the screen all the time, I was talking to Yong Liang.
Zhi Yuan’s character seemed to be badly injured after subsequent blows from me. I don’t even know what I pressed! Soon, he’s dead. He can’t believe he lost!
Round 2. I did the same method as before – pressing buttons randomly. Our character’s lives are depleted very quickly. Zhi Yuan made the deciding move in the end and my character is lying on the ground motionless. Final scenes are replayed. Zhi Yuan was overjoyed.
Round 3. I looked at the screen carefully, still determined to use the random pressing method. We exchanged heavy blows. The K.O. (Knock-out) sign flashed on the screen, ending the game. The others laughed and cheered.Zhi Yuan can’t believe his luck. Neither could I believe mine.
