Hi, I'm Meka_Dragon. Welcome once again to....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Today I have four more tales of terror with a rather unfortunate coincidence, they all occured within the same building, on the same day. Read on to find out what happened at at SR Towers....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Bob sat back in his chair, enjoying a hot cup of coffee, finally able to relax after fixing yet another bout of severe server problems, maybe a case of when severs attack? He spotted a Gameboy Advance on the opposite desk, 'surely a quick game wouldn't do any harm, would it?' he thought. Little did he know, however as anything can happen....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

It was the first time that Bob had played a GBA, he had never been a fan of handhelds, but was immediately surprised by the quality of the graphics of Mario Kart: Super Circuit. He played for a while, and was enjoying himself immensely, sipping at his coffee between racves, when disater stuck. The sun disappeared behind a cloud momentarily, and Bob was unable to see the screen clearly. It was an important race, Bob needed to see. He leant back in his chair, putting it on 2 legs to catch the light coming from the corridor. Just in time Bob was able to see again, he jumped a gap, hit a speed boost, and crossed the line in first place, giving him enough points to scoop the gold cup. As Bob cheered his victory he stopped concentrating on his balance. The chair fell back, and Bob went with it.

Bob's fall was unpleasant, his back hurt, and his head had taken a knock. He had also let go of the GBA at some point, and only realised this as it fell into his face, cutting his bottom lip when it was pushed against his teeth. Bob will be a little more cautious with handhelds in the future now that he knows that anything can happen....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Hearing the sound of Bob falling down, Loki glanced around the corner. He chuckled as Bob rubbed the back of his head, and dabbed his lip on a hanky, but maybe he wouldn't have found it so funny had he have known what was about to occur....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Loki was bust replying to posts in the customer service forum. Some goon wanted to know if he'd get a Gamecube for launch if he pre-ordered today, not really anything important their, but the next post was much more important, a third post in as many days from an upset customer. They wanted to know why they had not recieved their free gift, an N64 Rumble Pak. Loki didn't like to leave customers unhappy, he had to do something. Maybe he wouldn't have been so quick to take action if he knew the horror of....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Loki dashed down the corridor to the library. He pulled a book from the shelf 'Achieving Extraordinary Customer Relations'. This forced the bookcase to swing around, revealing a secret door. Through the door was a pole, Loki slid down to it, into the dark store room.

With his torch he headed towards the N64 section. The found there to be just one box left on the Rumble Pak shelf. Unfortunately it was empty. 'The Rumble Pak was probably put in the test machine' thought Loki, heading off for the special testing centre. His suspicions were confirmed. He grabbed the Rumble Pak from one of the 4 pads on the table, it looked like there had been a group of people in playing Mario Party 3, and he hadn't been invited. Annoyed Loki shoved the Rumble Pak into the box, but also dropped his torch, the batteries fell out of it, and Loki was in complete darkness. He took a step back, right onto some marbles that Darkus and Joe had been playing with, his feet went from beneath him, and he fell towards the floor. On his way down he tried to grab something to keep him up. Unfortunately it was just one of the pads from the N64, and he only succeeded in pulling it, the other pads and the console on top of himself. These bruised him badly, but worse was to come. he found himself tangled amongst the many leads. Every time to tried to roll free, he would roll onto one of the pads, and the hard plastic would push into his body.

After many terrifying minutes of terror Loki was drenched in light. Tony had arrived to oversee his special delivery, and had turned the lights on. Loki was severely tenderized, so he'll be more careful now that he knows the terrible torror of....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Meanwhile Mr Snuggly was sitting in the cosy reviews suite, with the door locked, when the phone rang. Mr Snuggly pressed the stop button the his PS2 DVD remote control, feeling a little embarrassed. "Snuggly, what are you doing?" came Tony's voice from the other end of the phone. "Um, just writing a review Mr Tony Sir!" replied Mr Snuggly, starting to go red. "Okay Snuggly, just as long as you're not watching 'The Erotic Witch' again. Anyway, get down to the store room right away, Loki's had something of a mishap!"

Mr Snuggly didn't go down right away, however, but maybe he should have done, it might have saved the horror of....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Mr Snuggly felt he couldn't go down right away, 'what if someone else came into the reviews suite, and discovered his secret copy of "The Erotic Witch Project"?' He thought. No, he decided that he'd have to put it back into it's secret place, and put a game back into the PS2. Mr Snuggly thought that Devil May Cry would be suitable, and maybe the Devil would cry ifwhat was about to happen to Mr Snuggly happened to him.

Mr Snuggly approached the PS2 and hit the button to open up the disc tray. Nothing happened. He pressed it again, harder this time, but still nothing. He was beginning to panic, what if his love for soft porn was disovered? His sweaty finger pressed the button for a third time. A bead of sweat fell from his brow, and to his relief the tray came sliding out. Mr Snuggly grabbed his beloved 'Erotic Witch Project' disc in one hand, and placed Devil May Cry in it's place. Mr Snuggly then sneezed as he caught a glimpse of the sun, finally emerging from the clouds. He pressed the button to close the disc tray back inside, not realizing that his tie had moved onto it when he sneezed. As Snuggly tried to move away he saw what had happened. He smiled to himself and pressed the tray release button. Nothing happened. He pressed it a dozen or so times, but still it wouldn't open. He pulled at the console, trying to pull himself free, but he wasn't getting out, his tie just seemed to be getting tighter. He couldn't call for help, the door was locked, and people might see that he had been watching "The Erotic Witch Project". He only had one option. Smash open the PS2 to free himslef. He tried to hit it on the desk, but couldn't co-ordinate his body movements to do this, with the console astuck at chest height. There was only one this that he could break it with. His face. He mashed his face into the PS2 again and again, until eventually it burst open. Mr Snuggly was free, his head ached, but he was free! He hid "The Erotic Witch Project" in it's secret place and headed down to the store room, a little unsteady on his feet. Mr Snuggly will think twice before using a games console for watching soft porn again now that he knows the terror that can occur....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Back in the store room Tony was growing impatient. Loki was still waiting to be freed, and Mr Snuggly had not yet arrived to free hi. the special delivery was due to show up at any minute too. Maybe, just maybe, Tony wouldn't have been so keen for his shipment had he have known the terrible fate they brought with them, for Tony Rainbird was about to discover what could happen....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Mr Snuggly arrived in the store room moments later, rubbing his head, and looking like he'd had a few rounds with Lennox Lewis. At the very same time Tony heard a lorry pull up. Tony instructed Mr Snuggly to free Loki, and headed out to recieve his special delivery.

The lorry was incredibly long, possibly the longest Tony had seen. He didn't much care for lorries though, he wanted to see what was inside. He politely requested that the driver open the doors to reveal his cargo. The driver did as required, and at first Tony couldn't see inside, he was dazzled by a bright green light. as his eyes adjusted he could see what he had been waiting for. His first shipment of Xbox's had arrived!

Tony decided that he should give one a playtest, and grabbed the nearest one too him, one from the bottom of the pile. This was a bad move on Tony's part, as the Xbox's above the one he had pulled out fell forward, right onto Tony! The weight of Microsoft's consoles knocked knocked Tony right to the ground. Tony tried to get up, but couldn't, the sheer size and weight of each console and maybe as many as 50 consoles stacked on top of him he was well and truly pinned down. Bathed in dirty green light Tony called for help, and was eventually freed by the delivery driver.

Tony will be more careful when plucking new consoles from the back of articulated lorries in the future now that he knows the full extent of the horror of....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

Bob, Loki, Mr Snuggly and Tony will no doubt still enjoy the thrills of console gaming, but it can never be the same now that they have experienced the terrible disasters and full scale horror of what might just happen....

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

So be careful gamers, you don't want to be the next to discover what might occur....

...... I've been asked about opening the picture and enlarging/zooming in.

If you click on the photo, it should take you to a new page.
Sometimes the mouse pointer changes to a magnifying glass with a "plus" symbol.
Whether this appears or not,you can still zoom in by using "Ctrl & +" several times and "Ctrl & -" to zoom out again.

HTH ;)
