The Unordinary Lives of Gamers

Authors Note: This story is influenced by the popular web comics "Penny Arcade" and "Crtl-Alt-Del." Two actual 13 year old gamers will be making many jokes about gaming, the console wars, and Chris' bad computer. (Mr. Shields'. Mine is a little bit l33t.) I hope you enjoy it. It's my first real attempt at humor. I will update at least every week, but we will try to update more than that. We hope you enjoy!
(Inside Chris Shields' Room. We see that he has many action figures and dolls from his childhood that he hasn't bothered to put away yet. He has a small 15' TV along with a Jet Black Gamecube, along with an N64, a Super Nintendo and a Sega Genesis. He also has a VCR that has been to hell and back. He happens to have a PC. We will get to that in a second.)
(Shields is playing Super Smash Brothers Melee on his 'cube. His best friend, Chris Baginski, walks into his room.)
Baginski: What's up?
Shields: Just playing Melee.
Baginski: Oh. Why are you playing that? Didn't you get all the trophies, like, 30 times or something?
Shields: No. 5 times.
Baginski: I don't see you play your GBA that much though. I thought you loved that thing! You kept on saying how you would kill Michael Moore for a chance to get Wario Ware Inc!
Shields: Two things. 1. I'd kill Michael Moore for free, and 2. The color thingy in my GBA exploded!
Baginski: Really?
Shields: Yes really!!! All over the screen!
Baginski: That sucks. Are you thinking of getting a GBA SP?
Shields: No! The GBA SP sux0rz! It's too small. And it looks like the Terminators dick!!!
Baginski: The Terminator's dick? Jesus, have you been drinking your dad's stash again?
Shields: So what if I am?
Baginski: Well. First, I'd get a bat, then I'd beat you to soberness!
Shields: In that case, yes. Yes I am.
(Baginski grabs a nearby aluminum bat)
Shields: I'll beat your ass!
Baginski: Shit!
( Baginski throws the baseball bat into the other part of his room. It hits his PC )
Baginski: And that brings me to another thing! Why don't you use your PC?
Shields: Uh, Chris.
Baginski: .... I mean, you could play America's Army with me!
Shields: Have you ever even played on my PC ever?
Baginski: Well. I've played Exile 3!
Shields: Didn't that game come out in 1996?
Baginski: Yeah. Well..
Shields: Stop saying well!
Baginski: Sorry!
Shields: I should just use the thing as a toilet! It would be more useful than as a PC!
Baginski: Oh come on! It couldn't be that bad! What's your internet connection?
Shields: Dial-Up.
Baginski: That's pretty bad. What is your ISP?
Shields: AOL.
Baginski: Where'd I put that bat?
