best. nintendo. game. ever.

I made an ass out of myself at the local video game store downtown last weekend after girlfriend got me high in a tree and I didn't want to be in public, but she was all about looking for games for her old school nintendo. While in stoner mode was able to remember an AMAZING game whose name could not have been tortured out of the recesses of my memory. So I was that guy in the store. That stoned guy: "ohhhh, man, there was this game, with, like, a ninja, and his little suit changed colors, and he could, like, fly, man. It was so awesome dude. Do you have that game?!" The video store clerks--who'd probably just come in from taking a few hits themselves out back--finally appeased me by giving me the name of a video game and letting me know it probably wouldn't be back in stock until after the holidays. But I searched online, and that wasn't it. I forced new office friendships with the men all around to ask about their nintendo playing days and if they knew of the game of which I spoke. This morning one of the computer/tech guys came down to help me install some upgrades, and I asked him. Again, nothing, but he left me with a site to look through.

I found it! My quest is finally complete. The Legend of Kage. I already called the video store place, and they don't have it, but their sister store about a half hour south has two copies in stock and they're only $3!!!!!! Who's ready for the nerdiest mini road trip I've ever been on? Why are all of my friends fucking out of town for the holidays? Damnit. I now finally have a response for December's version of 'the weather comment': "What are your holiday plans?" Fucking Legend of Kage. And it'll be the best December 25th yet.
