Friday Night, my daughter asked for a "Grape KoolAid Party Night in the Basement", and we complied. I set up our new MacBookPro to play out on our Gateway 31" monitor, and fired up "Blades of Glory" (funny!)We didn't get through more than 5 minutes before most of the popcorn was consumed by the William monster, and Will Farrell and Napoleon Dynamite were beating each other up. And so, the movie went off, and it turned into game night.
I got half a man on the Green Beret before the kids wanted to me to play. Jenny played the 6 credits left on the Top Score. I sat on the floor and played and watched Jenny "work" the machine. Damn, she got a 58,000. I haven't gotten that high for months. She was cooking. Nothing sweeter than your woman playing some serious pinball when she's in that "stance". :) (You know what I'm talking about...)
Anyway, so, when she ran out of credits, it didn't take long for me to work on the bad switch I have on the credit unit with the "credit card" trick. (I've been too lazy/scared to try to readjust the bad switch, as it's been readjusted a few times already before I owned it, and the metal seems ready to break.) Nothing like having a good reason to do some tech work, eh? Had to get that "stance" back!
All in all, my son and I stacked a lot of blocks with my daughter, she even played a little pinball, and we had a great night. Once the kids were in bed, I went down and played a few games before I shut everything down. My best at Top Score was 26,000. I only got 34,000 on Green Beret. I'm out of practice. *sigh* So, I shut them off and went up stairs to finish the rest of the movie with Jenny.
Even with the bad scores, Friday was a good game night. :) Thanks Grape KoolAid!
