Dark Tower
It all started a few days ago, I went to my neighbours moving away party. We had become pretty close friends, and he called me up to his room. He said that his new roommates already had a PS3, and he didn't his old PlayStation anymore. He said that he had already took the best games, but he had left a few for me to try out. He seemed reluctant to give them away, but, who would just give away a free games and a PlayStation. I hooked it up to my TV at home, and just choose a game called "Dark Tower." The game seemed to be an epic RPG. I started to play and, it had a huge sandbox world, like most Legend of Zelda games. I had got to level 10 before the story really started to kick in. Apparently, you could choose between a Mage, Knight, or Assassin. To be honest, while assassin sounded awesome, I decided to go with wizard. Wizards could usually hit enemies from far away, and so you could save HP. There didn’t appear to be any Mana, so there was apparently no drawbacks. I continued to play, and noticed that over time, the screen got darker, and ominous. This was awesome, and I loved the whole feel of the nighttime scenery. There were harder enemies, and they moved faster. Not that was any problem, he could easily just farm them to gain tons of EXP, hitting them from far away. He continued in the game, and to his dismay, the game was incredibly easy. He was sad, but he could still find an challenge in the hardest miniboss. It appeared to be an exact copy of the player’s class, in my case it was a “Shadow Wizard” according to the Health Bar. It appeared to have the same stats as I did, only a little worse. The only reason it was hard was because it could spawn these annoying “shadow dwellers.” Black shadows that would turn invisible when you looked at it. It almost killed him a couple times, but it was completely worth it to get the good armour, wands, and EXP. After many, many, many hours of playing, he was ready to fight the boss. He had tried it before, but, it always one shoted him. This time however, he survived the first hit and continued to play. It was intense, and by this time the players level was in the 70s, he just barely beat the boss, his HP was less than 10. He was extremely happy and was congratulated himself, sadly, the player accidently kicked the PlayStation. The game drive opened up, and the screen started to fizz and became static-y. The player started to curse and scream, he was so into the game, he had forgotten to save since the last time he had fought a boss, that was ages ago, and he started to yell at the PlayStation. “You suck! Goddamn it, why aren’t there more save points.” The game seemed to respond by becoming even more unclear and static-y. I looked back at the clock, noticing that it was already 2:00am. “S***,” I screamed, “I have exams tomorrow!” I turned off the game and turned around to head up the stairs and back to my room. On my way back, however, I thought that I saw something ooze out of the screen. I turned around and saw nothing, but I imagined that it was a “shadow dweller.” “That’s it,” he exclaimed, “no more red bull for me.”
