SAO Spin-off

Launch Day

Feel free to let know how bad this is on a scale from "why did you waste my time?" to "I can't tell you, it was so bad I already off'd myself."

   We've been waiting for so long we finally got the game. My brother and I were so excited when we bought ourselves each a copy. With all the hype and anticipation we had for the game since it's announcement, we could finally play "Sword Art Online"

   After booting up the game, spawning in the main area, admiring the amazing graphics and some of avatars the other players had, the first thing I did was... go through the tutorial manual. Yeah, I know riveting gameplay. You see, I was waiting for my brother to spawn in because he always takes too long in customizing his avatar.

   I was gonna my invite my friends to the session we were in and start a party, but then I remembered they couldn't join. They were out town, visiting family, and there was hardly any internet  available where they were.

   I wasn't going to be as good as my brother was in the game. Seeing as how you actually had to move your avatar like you would your own body to do just about everything in the game, instead of just pushing a button. He started learning martial arts when he was ten, and some time after the game was announced he decided to start learning HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts). He taught me a bit a few days before the launch. Now I wish I had asked him to do so a lot sooner.

   Surprisingly yet not so surprisingly, mister Perfectionist finally showed up. Why did it take him so long? All you can customize is the face, height.

   When he realized who I was, because of my Gamertag and not because I was the guy waving at him like a crazy person, he came over and I told him, "Finally, I've been waiting for so long that they started to tell all of a prophecy."

   "Oh, not this again."

   "As it has been foretold by the ancient scrolls. That after the long wait"

   "Please, Don't." He asked.

   "Don't worry, I'm just messing with ya."

   Now that he was here, we could actually play the game.
