So we rolled into Fresno and found us a Laser Quest place (Laserdoom for Europeans). Being trigger-happy and bored from driving we accepted the challenge of a handful kids. We got to choose names and since I knew that we where in for an ass-kicking by those little cheating bastards I choose my name wisely: Dead-meat.
But guess what: you can not be called dead or anything related to death in Laser Quest. Is this really sane? What might happen if you have names relating to the end of life? Especially in an environment where the object is to shoot at your friends? Do we run the risk of connecting fire-arms with death? (Which is completely reasonable in my opinion.) Or do we somehow risk the future of our kids because we use words that are not even swear words just describing post-life state of the human being, one of the most natural things in life or there after?
Oh and now you are wondering how this ended? I was given the name "fluffybunny" wrongly spelled: "fluffybuny" since you are only allowed 10 characters. Is this not wrong to expose our young to misspelling? Oh, nobody cares about that. Because it is nit-picky and meaningless? Yes there you have it. And the only thing you want to know what my score was: I ended fifth out of 14. To my defence I will mention, again and again: the kids worked in teams although it was a solo-game, which is cheating. Fucking cheaters. I hate you kids. No to harsh word: I dislike your fucking cheating. And I dislike your ludicrous policies Laser-Quest. It is just meaningless.
