So, as some of you may have noticed, I manage a restaurant in the Times Square area of New York City. And, as you all I hope are aware, we have a MAJOR hurricane heading our way. New Yorkers aren't used to this, but growing up on the Florida coast has made me acutely aware of what we face. That being said, the executive powers that be of my company have informed us senior managers that we have to try to get in to our restaurants and weather the storm there to do damage control. We are not happy.
After much consideration, I have come up with my survival kit for the storm. A survival kit that only a gamer can truly appreciate.
First, for the hours of just sitting there and waiting for whatever occurs, I am, of course, packing my PSP. What games will I be taking? Well I will be taking the games that I can most lose myself in: Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, Persona, and Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII (which I still didn't finish). Also on my list is Infected which was one of my early PSP faves. (Mad fun, yo!) I'll also be playing my ModNation Racers and Little Big Planet that I downloaded as part of the free games in the PSN hacking saga. I will also be sporting my new 3DS and Ocarina of Time 3D.
Now, I know you all will appreciate this... If and when we lose power, I have the ultimate piece of gaming gear to use instead of a flashlight when we are stumbling around in the dark: my night vision goggles that came with my CoD MW2 Prestige Edition. Finally I will find a real use for them! (I am kind of hoping for power failure just for that reason. LOL)
And for some light reading, I have some issues of Game Informer and some manga to catch up on.
All this, with a few bottles of Jameson Irish Whiskey, and I am set.
Say a prayer for me. If you don't see any online activity from me, you'll know why. Until after the storm...
PS: Please, fellow gamers, show daddy some love and vote for an elder gamer (me) for The Tester Season 3.
