"Hello, Lego Marion"


By Blackwalt - Posted on 16 June 2008

"Lego Indiana Jones. I always knew some day you'd come walking back through my door."

Well, surprisingly in my goodie stash for Father's Day I received an Xbox 360 game – LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures.

But the best gift for Father's Day was not the Xbox game itself but the four plus hours I spent playing it co-op with Guba.

Lego Marion, "Well, Jones, at least you haven't forgotten how to show a lady a good time."

Guba and I spent all evening working our way (mostly) through the first movie included in the game. I discovered that platform jumping games are not (definitely not) Guba's style of game. She showed a penchant for random tangential angles with a distinct habit of changing directions mid jump but persevered and surprised me by how much she enjoyed the game.

Lego Indiana, "I can only say I'm sorry so many times."

Whomever says video games don't imitate life has no idea. Now I am dodging shovels (and other blunt objects) virtually as well.

In fact, just as I was thinking she had enough, she exclaimed "c'mon, we can play all night" foiling my attempt to shut off the console and go to sleep. Fine, one more level. 50 minutes later to the refrain of "just one more" I shut down the console and went upstairs to sleep.

Lego Indiana: "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go."

As I climbed into bed I discovered that I wasn't the first one there. "Umm, what's the DVD case for LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures doing here?"

Guba, "I'm reading up!"

I hope there was no Lego Sex...I shudder to think what Revek's controller will look like.
