WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Christmas can be a very exciting time of year, unfortunately, as you'll see later, it can also be the time....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
It was a very cold night, but every night in Scotland seems to be a cold one, moreso on Christmas Eve than any night, thought SHEEPY, as he meandered through the streets towards his home, after a heavy night on the beer at a friends house. SHEEPY looked up to see a twinkling in the sky. Was it a shooting star? Maybe it was Santa, way up high in his sleigh! Either way SHEEPY didn't much care, he wanted to get home, and to bed.
When he arrived home he tip-toed quietly up the stairs, and into his bedroom. He went to get into bed, only to find that somebody had left a box on his bed! What could be be, he thought, a present from Santa? It didn't look particularly well presented though, in an old box with various things written on it, and crossed out, as if it had been used for storing a dozen different things over the years. SHEEPY picked up the box, and gave it a shake. Maybe he wouldn't have shook so hard had he have known what could happen....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
The bottom of the box fell out as SHEEPY shook it, and an old Sega Megadrive fell right onto SHEEPY's toes. He yelped in pain, and hopped around the room, clutching his toe. As he was hopping around his foot slipped on a magazine that was sprawled out on the floor, and SHEEPY lost his balance, landing on the floor with a crash. Maybe in future SHEEPY will be more careful when picking up boxes with unknown contents in, now he has experienced the horror of....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
SHEEPY's bruised toe made it difficult to wear shoes for a number of days, which was a little annoying. Doughnut Monster will wish that he had known what had happened to SHEEPY, as it might have stopped him from being the next to discover what can happen....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Doughnut Monster was incredibly excited upon waking on Christmas Day. He knew that he had been pretty good this year, and was hoping for a few presents. If only he had known what was in store for him....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
He rushed into the living room, spotting the sooty foot prints that clearly gave away that Santa had been. He discovered a large stocking on the floor, marked DM. He opened the presents one by one, becoming increasingly more pleased with what he had recieved. The last present was the icing on the cake though. So he ate it, he'd always liked icing. Doughnut Monster looked back over his presents. He had recieved Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 for the Nintendo 64, and decided that he'd have to give the game a good playtest. He set his N64 up on his bedroom television set, and plugged the game in. He keenly watched the intro, and went to press the start button, only to discover that he had neglected to put a controller in.
Doughnut Monster went to the drawers beneath where the N64 was sitting, and pulled in open. He looked into the draw, and spotted his favourite controller, in amongst his personal belongings. He grabbed it, but accidently knocked the set of drawers. It rocked back, but DM managed to stop it falling back. Unfortunately this only caused it to tilt forwards, and the N64 slid forwards, and off the set of drawers. DM glanced up just in time to see it strike him right on the nose. He lay silent for a number of minutes, before wiping the tears from his eyes, and setting the console back up to finally play the game. Maybe he wouldn't be quite so eager to play in future now that he knows the terrible events that occur....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
er-no had also been looking forward to Christmas for many, many months too. He was finally going to get some decent Playstation2 games. Grand Theft Auto 3 had been the top of his Christmas list for a while, and he'd dusted his Playstation 2 ready for it right back at the end of November. Maybe he wouldn't have been anticipating it quite so much had he have known the pain it would cause....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Christmas morning came and went, and er-no remained in bed. He had been so excited that he hadn't fallen to sleep until the ealr hours of the morning, and now he'd slept right through! He woke just in time for dinner, and ate a great plate full of turkey, potatoes, stuffing, vegetables and the like, and had followed it up with a large helping of Christmas Pudding, and two mince pies. Worse still, he had eaten all of this in under 5 minutes, such was his hurry to open his presents.
He saw the present that looked like it was a PS2 game, and rushed to his room with it, tearing off the paper on his way. It was it, the holy grail, Grand Theft Auto 3! He approached his PS2, which was looking rather fine, standing verically, and he pressed the tray eject button. Unfortunately the tray came out a little further than he had expected, and it caught him right in his bloated stomach! This sudden blow was all to much for er-no's stuffed tummy, and what had gone down, came back up. er-no vomitted heavily onto his Playstation2, and shiny new game! For just an instant he was full of pain. The PS2 had been plugged in, and whilst he had been in contact with his vomit, and it in contact with his PS2, electrical current had passed into er-no's body. Fortunately it only occured for the briefest of seconds, and a little smoke from his ears was all he suffered, as well as blacked finger tips. I'm sure young er-no will be more careful when opening consoles close to his stomach after eating extremely large amounts in future now that he knows the full horrific extent of what can happen....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
As unfortunate as er-no, Doughnut Monster and SHEEPY had been, they could perhaps consider themselves lucky in comparison to what happened to Dringo....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Dringo, didn't think he had much to look forward to this Christmas. There wasn't really anything that he wanted, well, nothing available. He expected to get a few token gifts, and was hoping that his family would like what he had bought for them, but wasn't really excited. Maybe it's because, deep down, he had some idea of his fate, some kind of crazy notion that he was soon to discover what could happen....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Dringo opened up his presents, a nice jumper from his gran, some fancy aftershave, just what he was expecting really. He got to the last present, and had no idea what could be inside. It was a pretty small box, almost the kind of box a kids toy could come inside. He careful tore the paper, until he saw a logo that could not be mistaken, Nintendo. Suddenly it all clicked, the small box, the logo, he tore the rest of the paper off in a second to find a Nintendo Gamecube sitting in front of him. Better still, it was a European one, one of only ten in the country. Dringo felt like the luckiest man in the whole world, and announced that he was taking himself up to his room, and wouldn't be back for a number of hours. Minutes later Dringo returned, and his mum handed him another present, a game to play on his new console. He again announced that he wouldn't be back for a number of hours, and went back to his room.
Dringo looked carefully at the instructions on the box. Minutes later he was inside, and had the console sitting on the floor. Within an hour he had it all set up , and was ready to play. He pressed the lid down, ready for it to pop open so he could put his game in. Unfortunately Dringo had not noticed the peanut that had rolled from his desk, and onto the lid. The sheer power of the lid flicked the peanut back against the wall, and it bounced around the room for several minutes. Dringo watched it carefully, and realised that it was now heading straight for his Gamecube. If it struck it, it might break it feared Dringo, and he grabbed it by the handle, and pulled it out of the way. The peanut whizzed past the Gamecube, and hit the floor, bouncing up for a final time, and lodging itself up Dringo's nose. It took three surgeons seven hours to stop laughing, and a further five minutes to remove the peanut down the accident and emergency clinic. And it wasn't until Boxing Day that Dringo eventually got to play on his Gamecube, so he'll be much more careful with nuts and consoles in the fure, for he has experience the true disaster that comes forth with viscious intent....

So be careful one and all this Christmas, or you could be next to face the fear....
