I hate this f*cking game I was perusing the net (as I’m prone to do) the other day and noticed a rom for the old NES game Ninja Gaiden. I always disliked the game, despite the fact that it had great game play (for it’s time) and couldn’t recall why. So I downloaded the rom and picked up where I left off twelve years earlier. It didn’t take me long to remember why I loathed this game so much. After getting my ass kicked for the eightieth time by Ryu’s father I was bombarded with memories of beating my Nintendo, hurling the controller, and coming up with inventive new swear words. I hate this boss with a magnificent rage unequaled on earth or hell. And I'm too damned stubborn to admit defeat, so I keep masochistically playing this freaking game again and again. I'll get that f*cker one of these days. Then I'll never have to play the damn game again.

Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay. |
