In the zone

Damn, I just got done with a good session, and I found I was just in the zone playing Metal Slug 1. I was leapin and dodgin all over the place, my slugs staying intact like crazy, and I was avoiding gunfire like a madman... Just as it should be. I ended up beating it with 6 credits and a score of some 674,000, which I suppose is decent, at least for me. (I'm sure there are psychos around here that can beat it on one life or something.)

But man oh man, I just had that feeling that I was glad to have a Neo. Do any of y'all just sit there and go, "Damn, I'm lucky to have this friggin thing?"

Best of all, it gave every game I played after it a rosy glow; I don't think I've ever appreciated Last Blade so much. I was totally into it. Sweet.

I figure part of my enthusiasm stemmed from the fact that I used headphones on the big red for the first time. My speakers have seen better days, and my roommate can be kept up by my virtual fists of fury, so I put my badass Sennheiser HD555s in there. Why didn't I think of that before? Heh.

Anyway, I was hoping to prompt other fond recollections from the lot of you. Do share.

I haven't had a lot of time for games recently with school and all, but now the semester's over. So when I got home tonight from work I set Sam Sho Special on level 8 and got down to business. I'm used to it on level 4 so this was a bit different than the normal experience for me. Anyway it forced me to concentrate a lot more and I just really appreciated the game's feel. I love how different the series plays compared to most fighters and I actually held my own (had it been KoF on 8 I'd have been waxed). And there's just something special about that huge gush of blood that covers you right before your opponant splits in half.
