and I have been best friends for 11 years. We met in 5th grade and have been bros ever since. In 2005 a game came out and like the next year we realized that we both had it, so it became tradition that whenever I slept over at her house, we would play that game and try to beat it in one night. That game was, of all things, Neopets: The Darkest Faerie.
That is a long ass game even without doing all the side-quests (I am 99.9% sure the dude that did a speed run of the game in like 5 hours sold his soul to do so.)
Well, because I have no life at this moment and she has weekends off at work, we came up with the plan to have her sleep over last Friday night (9-16-16) and then Saturday we would wake up early and play that game until we beat it. We started at 8:47 a.m. (it was going to be earlier but I hadn't slept well) and every five hours we switched out the PS2s. We started out on mine. Five hours later we switched to hers...which almost burst into flames (she has a slim), then we switched to mine again.
For two hours, WE WERE IMMORTAL! THIS DISC HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT IT HAS WEIRD GLITCHES! MUSIC CUTS OUT, BAD GUYS FALL THROUGH THE GROUND, YOU FLY RANDOMLY! WELL, A PETPET THAT INCREASES YOUR MAGIC,HEALTH,ARMOR, AND BEATING ABILITIES GLITCHED HARD SO THE PETPET NEVER LEFT AND DIDN'T REQUIRE MORE FOOD! I FUCKING BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF A BOSS BECAUSE HE LITERALLY COULDN'T LOWER MY HEALTH ANY. I WAS GETTING ATTACKED FROM ALL ANGLES AND I WAS INVINCIBLE!!!
But that ended when my bro drowned instantly and fixed the glitch. It was nice while it lasted. Anyway, Steve had to leave around 10 pm and go home so she could go to church with her mom the next morning, so I told I'd beat it. We had two Acts left. I beat the game five minutes before midnight.
It was glorious. Over a decade we had been trying to do that...
Anyway, we have a new goal...beat the game with ALL the Side-quests getting completed. It's gonna be brutal. We'll probably accomplish that in another ten years....
