Battling Stick People

You know those days that you just don’t want to do anything? Anything at all? Usually after lunch, I will fall into that state of utter uncaring for anything, and lounge around, dispassionately looking for something mindless to do. That could be doodling, staring at the wall, going outside and watching people, sleeping, or finding someone to chat with. But today was different. The Mac lab was open, and not just open and full of noisy people, but it was empty. Completely empty. So I ventured in, seeking the portal to a mysterious world of fun, logged into a computer, and went online.

Now there are many things that one can do online. You can chat, shop, message, browse, stalk, play, etc. I decided that I would go on a game site, and see if I can find anything at least remotely interesting. After beating Snail Bob, losing interest in Disco Flirt and Animal Dash, not being able to load Dolphin Pop, and getting frustrated from Egypt Explore, I stumbled upon what might have seemed as an equally boring game: Territory War.

    In a couple of words, this game is a fight between your team of stick people (three of them) and the CPU’s team. You get to name your players and team, and go out and try to kill stick-figures Bob, Joe, and Jack (the CPU players). Your weapons are of highest quality: a grenade, a rifle, and a boot (which you can throw at the evil stick people of doom). There is one more, but I don’t remember what it is since I never used it. You take turns with the CPU and move your players one by one out to where you want them to be and take turns attacking the other people. Last team standing wins.
    I was set for this game. After naming my team the Ninja Poops, I went into battle and started throwing boots around and beating the life out of Bob, Jack, and Joe. With a barrage of angry words and frustrated comments in response to my own mistakes, I proceeded to unlock missions and boot stick figures around. And then, the bell rang... and everything ended. But I know, that probably tomorrow, if not tonight, I will go back to Territory War and avenge the casualties my team received.
