For the longest time in my life, I’ve never felt this kind of emptiness inside me. It is like I have lost a part of me, a big part of who I am. I know I was not this boring before or never was I melancholic as I am now… Until last Saturday. I just realized it when Rod, Ryu and I went to Shao’s house for the unveiling of the “surprise” (at least for Ryu and Rod since I knew what the surprise was). And can you believe we did not go there to drink… Well Ryu, Shao and I had a bottle of Red Horse each anyway.
I digress… To get back on where I was going, Shao told us a few months back he will be getting a console supposedly last week. The surprise was the kind of console he would be getting, we talked about what would suit Shao best and we kind of decided the X-Box 360 would be best for Shao, so I think Ryu and Rod assumed that Shao would be getting a 360. So when we went upstairs to Shao’s room, Shao handed a controller to Rod. It was wireless and the Playstation logo in the middle. Rod did not understand what was going on at the moment until I showed him the console itself… Playstation3.
I could not wait to try it out, so I tried out Shao’s only RPG he has, which is Enchanted Arms. It was pretty good but not the type of kick-ass intense graphics and game play I was expecting from a PS3 game. I handed the controller to Ryu so that he too could try it out. He played Call of duty 3 which was not a far cry from the PS2 version. It was better alright, although not that much. Oh, I forgot to mention that Shao was downloading the demo version of Devil May Cry 4 before we came to his house. Now that is the kind of game I wanted to play ever since I saw the trailer in youtube.
After a few hours of waiting, we got to play Devil May Cry 4. I’ve never felt so alive and kickin’ in my life. Once I defeated the boss in the demo version, I felt so euphoric. That was when I realized that I’ve not played a console in like a year, more or less. Sure, I’ve played Ryu’s Nintendo DS but a portable console is still different from a real console (not to degrade the DS, I love it). I guess the thrill I felt from playing the DS was only to cover the void my PS2 left when she conked out, or cracked her lens, whatever. I guess the DS was just a rebound console that I have come to love with the absence of a console at home. I have now found the reason for living… TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!!
Thanks to last Saturday, I want to buy a PS3 and a Nintendo Wii. Now I know the reason for my sadness and pain the past year. If I could just have a console at home, I could give up loving the DS that was never mine and move on to other things, hopefully better things. Although I would still want to borrow it from time to time Ryu. Hehehe…
So, thank you Shao for giving us the opportunity to play with your PS3, let me know when we can go to your house again, I’ll be courting your PS3. Nyahaha!!! Oh, and Shao, feel free to post updates here about your PS3 like new games, gadgets and stuff. Until next time guys, CYA!!!
