It's super!

I've had an enjoyable weekend. To start off, I walked into Chumleigh's Friday night only to find a copy of the game Super Metroid for the SNES, long regarded as not only one of the best SNES games, but one of the best video games ever. Its charm comes from its challenging and innovative game play, equal parts adventure, puzzle, shoot 'em up, and RPG. The graphics and level design are impeccable, the labyrinthine structure of the levels actually creates fear within me as a player. Not to mention that one can only save the game at save points throughout the levels, and if one dies before reaching a save point, everything since the last one is lost. Anyway, this game is fun to play, fun to watch, and overall great.

Yesterday I hung out with Steve and Rach and we had dinner and watched some TV (Mythbusters for the win!) Today was church and some fun hang out times with everyone. After, I met Rachel at Beavermead park following her soccer game and we went back to her place for some ice cream and tea.

Good times for all!

It is so nice having Rachel so close! I can visit often, and it doesn't require long bus rides or staying up late! It is so refreshing. The ease of seeing each other has also done great things for us in our prayers and studies, which have become more regular and even spontaneous at times. We must remember to focus our relationship on nothing other than Christ, but that is impossible unless our own individual lives are focused on Christ, and this is easier said than done. So a prayer request would be, "pray for Rachel and I as a couple" because we don't plan on separating any time soon!

In other news, Rachel keeps finding old SNES games lying on the side of the road after work each day. In three days she has found three games, two of which are currently in my possession! And, to make it better, they are great games. Mickey Mania and Kirby Super Star. They are in decent condition and play fine. My best guess is that someone either dropped them accidentally and never returned for them, or someone threw out a box of games that someone found and decided to play a game of "Kick the Cartridge," thankfully these old school games hold up to abuse so much better than modern CD and DVD games.

So yeah, if anyone wants to get in on some multi-player SNES action, just bring a controller, cause I only have one! And if you got some good games, bring 'em over too! Hrmm, do I sense an old school SNES party in the works or what?!
