Day-Crawler Video Game

Posted in Day-Crawlers, Technology on August 26th, 2009 by admin

Greetings my dear Gothlings!

I was visiting a friend bartending at a most unusual bar called the Pine Tree Lodge located on 35th Street between 1st & 2nd Avenues. The bar is decorated like you are in a winter lodge all year round. The place is small and strangely spaced out, and full of odd knick-knacks and mounted reindeer heads. ANYWAYS…as I’m talking to my friend at the front corner of the bar I notice to my right one of those touch-screen video games that are so popular at sports bars now.

 It wasn’t being played and on the monitor was showing previews of the various games available. One game in particular caught my eye due to its cool looking haunted mansion background graphic. Here, have a look:

The game was called Monster Mash and the basic game play was a shooting gallery where the point was to shoot down the Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, etc. for points while not shooting down the random Day-Crawlers, which takes away points. I found this to be rather offensive. So I played a round…but I concentrated on shooting the blond bimbos and jocks that popped up and crawled all around the screen…resulting in the lowest score possible on that game!

Just thought I’d share this moment with you. Cool graphic, though, right?

See you in the Dark!
