My dad used to play some Mortal Kombat with me. Until one time, it was in my early teens, 13 or 14 maybe, I had been playing a lot of it recently and was just whooping his ass. Like 8-0 streak kind of ass beating. So he bet me $20 I couldn't do it blindfolded.

Well I did, I lost one round but won two to get the match purely off of sound cues and blind luck, and he paid me $20 and then never played a video game with me ever again.

At least you got $20. I got yelled after I whooped my dad on fucking Mario Party. Kept calling me egotistic but in hindsight, pretty sure he was protecting.

No, protecting. Taiyang carries the Shadow of the Gamemaster. If he gets too good at games, the world is doomed.
