For a while now I've been wanting to post a c-blog, I had already posted a Turning Point blog and have since wanted to offer something a bit more substantial to Destructoid. I felt as though it was giving me so much and I was not deserving of the fun it gave me until I posted a real blog.
Then I spent ages trying to figure out what I could blog about which wouldn't immediately earn me a 'Fail' picture. And today I found my answer. This game: 
(neither of these pictures are from me as my camera cable has been lost, sorry) Many moons ago when everything was Pokémon; I played this game with my friend Liam, at his house. He was one of those lucky kids that gets everything he wants and you were jealous of him as a child, but then you grow up and he tries to stab you with a knife at school, and you slowly drift apart... But I digress... He had this game, we played this game, I wanted this game, my parents bought me this game. (I guess we weren't that different after all) I love this game. It brings back so many happy memories. Sadly it was lost or sold during the years from Pokémon's height till now. But all was saved today, when I found it for Ł2 in Barnardo's charity shop. It's now sitting on my bed just begging to be played. I write this to share with you the wonderful feeling that I have right now of finding this game and the memories that come with it. Such a simple thing, but it makes me feel so happy. Do you guys have any game-related things that bring back happy memories to you?

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
God does that make me sad.
now THAT'S a board game.
And I love lurkers who do it right. Welcome to destructoid.
BlackSheep: I am literally in awe.
And Blehman: Thanks a lot.
A friend of mine brought it in during the 5th grade for board games day, and I fell in love with it ever since. the feeling I got when I rolled a six (I believe) to catch Mewtwo. Nerdgasmic.
I eventually bought my own, and made people play it any chance I could during family parties.
But alas, the pieces, and probably the board itself, is long gone, another victim to how unorganized I am. A shame too, I bet my friends would really dig a game like this these days.
POH-KEY-MON!
Which was true.
He was an odd kid.
I thought that was a joke. That's kind of creepy @.@ How old was the kid at the time?
He brought a pen knife to school and tried to attack me, but my friend Ellis grabbed it and broke the knife in half. From then on we were worst enemies, but I don't think I had much say in it. I still don't remember what happened to make him so upset...
He was the person I first completed Pokémon with, we both traded with each other to get the full 150 on red/blue.
Good times.
