Whining about shadow_games

[scott_w_pilgrim]

You didn't even ask if I was interested. Totally not fair. I wanted to be a super secret agent too.

There is nothing secret about you.

[scott_w_pilgrim]

I do so have secrets! Did you know that in Mega Man X if you that if you defeat all eight bosses, get all the E tanks, all the hearts, all the armor upgrades, and you go through Armored Armadillo’s stage without getting hit and jump onto the ledge above the boss’s door and exit the level 5 times in a row you get Ryu's ha-dou-ken? All you have to do is the fireball motion and hit the fire button. It’s one hit kill. True story.

Bet you didn’t know that. How’s that for a secret?

[350pointsmile]

Way to go double o geek. It's not a secret if you tell everyone.

[scott_w_pilgrim]

Oh. Well, I kinda did learn that in Nintendo Power anyway. But I could totally be a spy. I mean I played Spy Hunter for hours and I figured out how to beat Spy Vs. Spy without any help.

[350pointsmile]

Yeah but you're a lousy liar.

And you're as smooth as sandpaper.

[scott_w_pilgrim]

You mean the smooth side, right?

[350pointsmile]

....no.

And then this happened. xD

[mechromaniacal]

Man they won't let me go anywhere either.

[scott_w_pilgrim]

How are our muns overlooking us? I could qualify to be an infiltrating spy guy. You-

uh...

You could too...?

[mechromaniacal]

Hell no. I'd be the person they call when it all goes south and shit needs to be blown up!

[scott_w_pilgrim]

Yes! With rockets and grenades and metal...arm...enhancement...cyborg...

Yeah...

[mechromaniacal]

Damn right! No better exit strategy than Deathtrap!

[scott_w_pilgrim]

Now how is all this cool stuff not enough for secret spy agents??

[mechromaniacal]

You know. Because "blah blah blah subtlety" "blah blah blah mission cover" "blah blah blah unnecessary loss of life" etc etc. [she waves her hand around dismissively to illustrate the point]

[scott_w_pilgrim]

Yeah, I guess. I just hate that I wasn't considered at all. When you start a new video game, you look through all the selections before you start, right? You don't just put a quarter in and select Cyclops! You look through all the X-Men.

[mechromaniacal]

You've seen a cyclops?

[scott_w_pilgrim]

Uh, yeah. Cyclops, the earth 616 one. I dressed up for him as Halloween. It was hard to tell if people just knew it was me or were calling him by his name.

[mechromaniacal]

[there's a long pause and then;] OH! I get it. You're talking about an echonet sim. A game right? Of course you haven't seen a cyclops because you don't have it's eye for a trophy or anything.

[scott_w_pilgrim]

I-wait

...uh

What?

[mechromaniacal]

You were talking about a game but I thought you meant you'd actually seen a real live Cyclops. [she shrugs]

[emotioneffulgence]

You're hardly qualified, Pilgrim.

[scott_w_pilgrim]

What!? How would you know? You don't even have a code name.
