Day 102 of 365: a year in songs and photos
Song: Judas Priest, All Guns Blazing
(I'm down with the sickness today, so this is the only picture I managed to take and I took it just for the 365 thing)
Remember a few weeks ago when I said I just can't get into today's video games and I would be happy playing NES 2D scrollers forever? Well, as they say, adapt and survive. So I adapted. In a big way. We bought the son Halo3 for Christmas and decided to check it out for ourselves. That was last month. We finished Halo3, went down to Halo2 and finished that and we're just about to finish the first one. Yea, we work backwards. We also bought a map pack for Halo2 so we can play some more when we're done with this one. I love these games.
We play the game in split screen cooperative mode. This is why I like it so much. You play with someone else and you depend on that person you are playing with to help you through the levels. Cooperation. Working together to meet common goals. Shoot, kill, finish missions. If the person you are playing with doesn’t have your back, you die. Simple as that. So you work together, looking at what your individual strengths are and figuring out how to best use each other’s skills to stay alive and move on to the next level. You don’t give up on each other. You don’t bail. You depend on each other.
I used to play Street Fighter. There, you size up your opponent and take advantage of his weaknesses. You learn how to hurt with the most impact, how to cause the most damage with the least amount of moves, how to look for mistakes and pounce on those moments, going in for the kill when your opponent is vulnerable and weak.
I like playing Halo. Sure, it's incredibly violent and bloody. But there's a good story behind hit. And there’s something about getting to the next level. Killing all those enemies, finding where you have to go and finally reaching your goal. And then starting over. Looking at your game partner and saying, you drive the tank, I'll get the gunner seat. Or, you take the Banshee, I'll run on ahead and start shooting those things that look like the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz. A few minutes later, your partner looks over at you and saying, you’re about to die, let me forge ahead while you get your health up. Or showing each other where the weapons are. Sometimes I'll drop a weapon I have that I know he's better with. He’s good at the killing. I'm good at finding our way around. We can put those two things together to get where we have to alive. You have to know what you’re doing. You have to pay attention to each other. You have to watch where you are going and take note of what’s around you and keep a constant eye on how your partner is doing.
In Street Fighter, I was a button masher. I just moved around and banged the buttons hoping for the best. All I really wanted was to not die, to fake my way through the round just enough to get out alive. I didn’t want to stand over my opponent’s body and raise my fists in triumph; I just wanted to be the one to not die. But when your opponent is incredibly skilled at the game and you’re not, it gets tricky. He knows every fighting combination. He knows every trick and cheat. He knows how to kick you at the same time he’s punching you at the same time he’s spinning around and delivering an elbow to your gut. He takes pleasure in exploiting your weaknesses and tells you over and over during the game just how lame you are at it. So I just mash and mash and hope for the best because I didn’t read the manual and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a chapter on ruthless opponents anyhow. I got tired of the game quick. Tired of blindly hitting buttons hoping against hope to hit the right combination and stop my opponent in his tracks. Tired of the punching and kicking. It’s pointless when you’re weak. After a while I would just stop mashing and stand there and take it. I just wanted it to be over. Go ahead, make your finishing move, cut me down til I’m comatose, pound your chest in triumph. And stupid me, I’ll just come back for more later. Sometimes it’s the only game in town. You take what you can get.
Having played Street Fighter way too long, it was a relief to play Halo. I like having a partner instead of an opponent. I like having a set goal in mind and figuring out how to get there right instead of just blindly hitting buttons. I like sharing strengths and picking up the other player where he has a weakness and having him do the same for me. It’s like together we make one formidable foe. We can work our way through anything because neither one of us is interested in crushing the other, only our common enemies. We realize when we press ‘start’ that this isn’t going to work if we don’t make this a 50/50 effort. I got your back if you got mine. I’ll come to your rescue. I’ll help you out of tight corners. I’ll do whatever I can to keep you alive because without you, I am not going to make it out of here.
Well, maybe I can. But I don’t want to.
(If one could make a living beating metaphors to death, I'd be rich)
