Happy Halloween Smogon! I hope you all are having/had fun at your Halloween parties. Unfortunately, I am a stereotypical Asian nerd who doesn't go to these parties, so while everyone else was hung over from last night, I decided to work on my paper.
So I headed over to the study lou- hey what the hell
Okay goddamn either I've been preparing too much for VGC or else my childhood dream came true and Pokemon are real. So I opened the door, only to be greeted by...
YES YES YES JIGGLYPUFF. My dreams really are coming true! But wait... that expression. What could it be looking at?
SHIT SHIT SHIT. It appears I've walked smack into a full fledged Pokemon battle.
I couldn't help but have some super nostalgia. I miss my old GBC.
I wonder what it would look like if I was actually playing the game?
Walking around the gym, I saw Misty's collection of water Pokemon.
Along the way, I couldn't help but notice this sign.
You know, they say kids sometimes like to write silly notes on these signs. What does it say?
GARY MOTHERFUCKING OAK. Whatever, I have to get this paper written. But first, I had to take a picture with my most favorite Pokemon ever.
So thus ends my escapades in Kanto. I'll just head on over to the other side of the floor to study in the other lounge. Along my way, I saw a bunch of cardboard boxes, but something seemed odd...
I've seen this before...
As I noticed this, the distant sound of music greeted my ears. What have I stumbled upon?

Hm. Odd. Tetris is boring though, so I kept walking. I entered a zone of pure darkness, only to have the darkness illuminated by
Turning around, I was greeted by a terrible terrible sight
SHIT SHIT SHIT video games are dangerous. I decided to get the hell out of there. All of a sudden, I saw a gigantic cheesewheel
Oh wait, I know what that is. I looked in the direction Pac Man was going and saw...
Okay okay, so Pinky's down there, so I'll just make a left and avoid him/her/it. But what's this? I heard a "blerhblehblerh blerh whop whop" of agony and noticed that Pac Man had died. I turn and see:
But wait, I forgot, I have multiple lives. Fuck this world. I'm getting out while I can. I come across my lounge, and see that the other lounge has been claimed by the video game world as well.
Okay okay, I can live with this.
So I had finally traversed all the worlds, and in the end...
And as anticlimactically as the original game, I saved the Princess.
And I never finished my paper.

Story telling aside, the above pictures were for the Sutherland Hall Halloween Floor Decorating Contest at the University of Pittsburgh. As you can guess, our theme was video games, and I had a complete blast doing it.
