Our Oregon Trail Tale

So I'm sure I've mentioned about Oregon Trail sometime ago. However, I never went into great detail about the previous adventures that happened about two or three days ago. Oh yes. It was three days.
Now my counterpart complainer Eagle will be writing a post about this, with colorful pictures provided. However, I will not. Because I can't lol. My phone won't let me do such things. So you will have to depend on my vivid words and imagine the tale of Oregon Trail I am about to tell you.
It was on Friday that She came over, and originally we were just going to play X-men Legends. However, and oh my god this will be one of the only times I'll complain as well, THAT GAME IS BEING DIFFICULT! Not only have we died three-five times in one day, but no matter how we start over, it ends the same! We die, we die, WE DIEEEEEEEEEEE. We're on a boat, and we have to save the citizens (Go figure) and the boat is springing leaks like a boat going down. Which is what was happening. the boat we were on was going down, and we had to save thos freakin citizens, plus a hundred and one weirdos coming at us like no tomorrow. so seriously. we were screwed beyond belief. And there was a frodo-ing TIME LIMIT FOR GOD'S SAKE! we were all like "No! I think we missed that crewman! NO. there's a sprung leak we have to patch up! OH GEEZ. Storm just jumped into the deathly water AGAIN.
The end of this story was that we stared at each other and chose to turn the tv off, and we turned offer in our agony and complained.
But then. Oh then! Eagle said the magic words. "Wanna play Oregon Trail II?" and I was a little indifferent due to the horrible way we ended that game. so I only replied "Sure. Why not." That was how Our Oregon Trail Tale began. Gather round again kids, and listen to my story. This is a tale for the ages kiddies.
I, along with Eagle, surrounded my computer as we inserted the game. There was some problem however with the disc, and an awkward problem box popped up, asking some stupid question about restarting or something. Eagle was puzzled, I didn't care, and while she pondered on this, I just clicked it close and went onto settings to find the disc on my computer. Just wait kids, this gets better.
Suddenly, I saw the disc picture I had to click on in order for the game to work, and OHMYGOD, you wouldn't believe what it was! It was a pixelated bull/cow/animal, looking to the side, totally creepy and awkard but also awesome all the same. It was hilariously odd, and Eagle took a picture of it with her phone, because she always does that XD LOL. anyhow, we clicked on it, and of course this journey began with a great "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW" as the opening screen displayed. I love that Yeehaw. It's the beloved Yeehaw of this generation, coming forth from the ashes of a god known as a tiki head, that suddenly starts walking because a man jumped inside.
ANYWAY.
The first game was against my religion.
LOL.
No, but the first game was pretty special. Me and eagle took controls intermediately, sharing and whatnot, and of course it seemed kinda normal. We started out at a great time, and OHMYGOD, we managed to make it to SALT WATER CITY! (Lol Salt lake City) where we settled and lived our days as bankers or something. I forget what happened in that bio of our life story. But i'm pretty sure somebody shot the president XD Well, of course we wanted to play again, hoping to get to Oregon this time, so Eagle automatically assumed she should take the lead. That was cuz I ran to the bathroom and suddenly she just started and i couldn't stop her because I was in the bathroom XD
This is the greatest story ever, kids. It's the story about Eagle getting herself into some hilarious trouble.
First of all, she frodo-ing used up all of her money at the start. FRODO. The only amount of money we had left was like five buck. BARELY FIVE BUCKS! She giggled while I banged my head on the desk, screaming about our money problems, because I'm a cheapskate and wanted at least a hundred bucks before we left for the frodo-ing trail! But nooooooooooo, she haaaaaaaad to buy like mules and food, and oh geez, clothes! CLOTHES?! who wears clothes on the Oregon Trail?! Lol, in our starter set before we bought anything, we had like twelve pairs of socks but no shirts or pants or anything. Maybe that's why we kept freezing in previous games. . . .
Oh well. Luckily we didn't freeze in this game. Except for me I think. I died like first thing. It only took a hundred miles for me and mia to die. Mia's my cat, but in the game she was a living humaN! And the reason why we died was because we had no medicine, or anything like that!!! SHe bought like three cases of bullets and gunpowder, but geez no we don't need no veggies or meds!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.
Soon after our deaths, people started dropping like flies before even getting to 300 miles. Suddenly, the last two were left. The leader, frodo-ing Eagle, and Casper, our friendly living ghost-albino man friend. mrmrmrmr. How the fudge they didn't die like the rest of us, I will never know. But somehow, they did, and that's when things started going. They past by like a million different landmarks, going, going, so far as a thousand miles, and the moraLE WAS HIGH. pun! She went hunting, got us some bears, and lols even a few pigeons (I'm kidding XD)
Here's the Hit hons, she got stuck.
I'm serious.
She didn't move at all XD
Let me explain. There was a point just where she pasted this river, and it was getting to Winter, so it was cold. It was also slightly rainy, but the two remaining travelers were doing good. But that's when it happened. THE WAGON STOPPED MOVING. As in, the status we had was " No Progress." or something like that. Our mile count was stopped at like a thousand and something miles, not going anywhere. We thought this was a glitch for a second, but no, time kept passing, days were going by. As if that weren't weird enough, suddenly THE WAGON WHEELS KEPT BREAKING. OHMYGOD HOW THE FRODO DID IT KEEP BREAKING IF WE WEREN'T GOING ANYWHERE?! were we stuck in the mud or something??? All I know is that they kept breaking, and we had to use our supplies to fix them, until we ran out. and so we had to trade with strangers for fixing supplies. Ugh. Those stupid strangers just knew we were desperate, so of course they ask for our mules. We need those mules. They are the only way we could ever get out of that spot. So we kept asking to hassle, and suddenly, oh hey!, they ask for TWO MULES. So we finally settled on one mule, and it kept happening. I'M SERIOUS. WE RAN OUT OF MULES HERE FOLKS. nO MULES, NO TRAVEL. NO HEART, NO FRIENDS. THAT'S WHY WE ALL DIED. But oh no, not before we kept trying to throw stuff out of our wagon, hoping it'll move if we ligthen the load. We threw out food, clothes, rum, etc. We had to trade our gun for fixing supplies. Slowly, and I do mean slowly, Casper took a turn for the worst. He was starving, duh, cuz we had no meat or clothes or ANYTHING. and finally, he died. He was the only one with a proper burial, because clearly he needed it since he lived the longest XD But wait. We have one person left. Eagle. Eagle wouldn't die!!!! SHE JUST WOULDN'T DIE! and i was waiting, and she had given up, begging this game to just let her die. but no. she kept living. For like a week she kept living. When she did die, I was so happy I would've kissed the goat, but we had no goat, and plus I was dead. So instead i just laughed. because we finally noticed that we were stuck in the same spot for a year. A whole year, trying to move from that one area where we never left. and so was our tragic ending, for our tragic tale of Oregon.
But wait. There's a sequel. A ray of light for this horrible ending. The true ending of this post. But since this post is too long, kids, I'm just going to have to do it in another post. Wow. I told a long story kids, so be proud of me. I haven't posted in awhile. It's pretty nice to get back into it. I'm sad Eagle had a bad week, but happy that it will become good again soon. Tm in school i'll be handing out little gifts for christmas. Until I post again, fair thee well my lovely internet people who read this tale.
