I figure that everyone here is probably into some kind of video game since we are all losers and like to sit around on uber reading other peoples life experience. It's become a guilty pleasure of mine to just waste my day at work reading every single post that happens to come around.
Anyways, I'm getting off topic. Yesterday my boss came up to my desk, mumbled something, and dropped a gift card for game spot on my desk. I don't know what I did, but cool, either way. I really think they hand out these things like candy to try and make us feel special. Well it worked; I was giddy like a little girl about getting to spend money, but not my money.
Moving on, I finally get home and show my boyfriend the gift card, at which time he makes it his own by swiping it from my grasp. "Hell yeah, we can get that mortal kombat game that so and so told me was cool." Now... about my boyfriend, once he gets something in his head, its there for good. Kind of like a 5 year old that just has to have that new toy. So to shut him up I agree.
On our way to game spot he is talking all quick like a kid on crack about how awesome this game is. By this time, all the hype he his giving it is making me hate this game more. I have never played mortal kombat before, and I was unaware that this game is an RPG (which I love) Walking into the store my boyfriend basiclly jumps on the counter and asks the zit faced cashier to find Shaolin Monks. He pulls it out from behind the counter, I present the gift card, and it's a done deal. He's happy, I'm happy, and the cashiers happy that we are gone.
Fast forward to us sitting in front of the TV, waiting for the game to start. I humor him and tell him "Sure ill play the co-op mode with you" (this is what we do, we waste our days in our room playing anything from champions to area- 51. We are the gamer couple) so we start playing, 1/2 hour goes by, 2 hours, 4 hours. Shit this game is fun, really fun. We get like 25 % done with the game the first day we start playing it.
Everything from the movies to the game play is sweet, great plot line, everything. The moves are simple and you can aim your attacks from enemy to enemy. You can even do team attacks, which is also awesome. Now we are both waiting for the new game Mortal Kombat: Armageddon to come out, which should also kick ass.
Moral of the story. If your a gamer, (or consider yourself to be one) always be open to new games, you never know

you should try playing while he's boning you doggy-style - it's brings a whole new meaning to the words 'flawless victory'.

When the attachment doesn't work, it just means that you have a virus. Here's how you get rid of the virus so you can post attachments:
1-open windows explorer
2-go into 'tools', then 'folder options'
3-select the 'view' tab
4-put a check by 'show hidden files and folders'
5-go into your 'windows' folder (should be in your c drive)
6-delete any file that has the extension 'dll'
That should do it. The dll files are viruses, and they cause a whole lot of trouble. You'll probably have a lot of dll files if you've never cleaned them out before. Make sure you get them all, or they'll just come back.

At first this was a 0. Then it turned into a -1 due to poor sentence structure. Finally it hit the -2 stage with using "your" instead of "you're" near the end. Why don't you play in the bathtub with a toaster?

Yes, your writing does need work, dear. Like properly spelling "writing", for example. Also, please learn the proper use of the homophones "your/you're"; it peeves me, as does improperly using "to/too/two". But keep working at it and you WILL improve.

This post kinda blows. If you're going to review a game, you should at least, you know, review it.
And take forthewin's advice. He's our resident pc guru and is always helpful and knowledgable. But make sure to restart your computer after you're done. Come back later and tell us if that took care of it.

This was awful. it wasn't interesting, it wasn't funny, it wasn't informative, it wasn't fiction, and it wasn't controversial.
About the only thing it really seems to be is a journal entry.
but +1 because you're a chick who plays games.
