Mario , I tired saving your princess ; giving up all my lives.

Its quite amazing how a video game that came into market about 20 years ago gives the same thrill of playing as it did a decade back in summers  !
 SUPER MARIO!!

I've been hooked to PS2 and Wii ..but there's something very unique about these old video games.
The sound effects..the levels...the tricks! They have their own novelty.
And the best part is despite so many years...you would enjoy playing it just as much.

Did you know you could increase the life upto more than 100 in 3-3 stage of mario ? :P
I didn't know that all these years :D

Then there's Islander , Circus , Pipeline , Tetris  etc and its so much fun!
 Specially if you're competing against the second player :P

Thanks to my kiddo brother..for reminiscing the good old indoor games.

Btw we even happened to play HIDE AND SEEK in college campus.
 All the non players were quite bewildered as to what exactly we were up to ! :D

One should never 'feel' old to play outdoor 'games'.
Its super refreshing.

Ringtone Blues!

Two things - One :  I set highly disturbing ringing tones for my cell phone.
Two - Am an expert at playing around with my cell with such ease that it melts within my fingers and SNAP -   it SLIPS out dropping with a thud , sometimes breaking into parts making me terrified and giving a mini heart attack only to rejoin with little scratches here and there - working condition almost perfect.

Third thing is I'm an idiot.Bloody idiot.

We were playing tennis on Nintendo Wii.My cell phone was in the right pocket of my tracks.It rang loudly
[ ringtone : The song Remember the Name by Mike Shinoda. ]
I cannot miss picking up my phone no matter what! And the ringtones I keep are the kind which make me restless if I let them carry on for few seconds.
So out of this hyper habit of mine - I pulled out my cell keeping it in my right hand along with the Wii remote.
The Wii remote has a strap attached to it which you've gotta wear around your wrist while playing.
The chance of the remote slipping out of hands is almost nil.
I don't even have to mention the chances of a cell phone dropping out  -- out of my hand.

The game was at its crux and I had to hit a shot.
What happened next is no suspense.I hit a shot ..and my cell displayed its Frisbee qualities:
flew , fell but unlike frisbee - it broke.
Thankfully it didn't  hit the TV !!

However I don't understand -

Why did I have to take out my cell ?
Couldn't I wait till the game ended ?
What's PAUSE meant for ?

Bloody hell.

All this even as am chanting : All Hail Nokia!

My cell is absolutely FINE.

Nokia Rocks!

Oh btw , Nintendo Wii is a super cool game! Scores less on graphics.Extremely good @ motion sense.

That doesn't mean I'm finding excuses to shun away from real sports.
Playing badminton and so so so loving it :)
