"Look, I just made a new pet."

"I'll take it for a walk for about 5 minutes while the rest of you dick around."

Yes that's another Nikolai Belinski Quote. Immediately after creating a floor guy. One that I had not heard until last night.

Last night when Graybush and I paired up again to play Call of Duty Zombie Mode. Just the two of us. Again.

It did not go well...

Early attempt: Cowering in the corner hoping for Hell Hounds.


Level 8: I knew the cowering strategy would work out well

Level 8 on our first try. Hopefully things will improve.

Level 9: Much improved in our second try.

Maybe next time...

Graybush had Monkey Bombs this time: Sometimes we remembered to use them

We had some issues with continuing levels as we kept forgetting to make floor guys.

Shortly after this photo (above) I developed Xbox Live problems and could no longer talk to Graybush. I could hear him, but he could not hear me.

Surprisingly, we did fairly well, not picking up a Inst-kill when the Monkey was out, not grabbing a kaboom to kill all the floor, guys.

Even sharing the tickle trunk evenly.

Tickle Trunking at Level 22: Things are starting to look pretty good

Although there was minor miscue. See the Porter's X2 Ray Gun I have in the photo above? I was across the map upgrading it when Graybush decided to start the next level. His "where are you?" was the first inkling I got that something was wrong. I did make it back to the Catwalk of Hope and Love but it got exciting.

Our silent communication improved from there on.

I am pretty sure Graybush even heard my mental screams of "stop shooting your wuff-wuff (Wunderwaffe DG-3 JZ) next to the slow floor guys!" because he stopped shortly after my third attempt.


Level 23: or maybe not...


Last week I would have been impressed by two players getting to Level 23. After the "This… Soviet… is… complete…" I just felt let down.

Hopefully a couple of more attempts will get us back to the glorious heights of Level 28.
