Playing Games In the Dark
We had a dream. We had an awesome dream. I'll show you.
Our dreamself was playing Nintendogs with our nice lady friends and, let us tell you, the game was sheer dog-raising bliss. Right after this shot was taken, we heard a muffled cry from the internet and became concerned. We remembered our bear suit had flying powers, so we sped ourselves home to check on the internet.
We cleared out the naughty comment spam from this Web site and visited 1UP. Much to our relief, they had redesigned it, without a bit of Flash. We were happy. We had a blurred vision of Sega announcing a Sonic the Hedgehog title featuring handgun toting, edgy gameplay. The vision began to fade and disappeared into the ether. We giggled, thinking how silly it was someone would ever dream of such a thing. We entered a Zen-like state, where everything began to appear cel-shaded.
We heard the cry again and this time it was louder. It was a booming voice that sounded like Reggie Fils-Aime speaking the words "We're doing some things with the hip-hop community". We became frightened, knowing that he had actually said that in the waking world and awoke in a chilly sweat. We stared at the alarm clock, waiting for the display to tick over to six-thirty, trying desperately to return to our dream world, losing more and more detail along the way.
