Bloodbath at the local church - By N.L. Belardes
Yesterday was a busy day.
I saw a parade, (pictures coming soon). I saw a self-published book on a shelf at the local newspaper (pictures coming soon), I went to watch Midnight Panic practice and interviewed the band (blog and pictures coming soon), and I went and hung out at the city’s largest bloodbath over at Cornerstone Church…
No, this wasn’t some Satanic bloodletting by those strangely ethereal Lords of Bakersfield. (They’re hanging out in the secret catacombs of the Bakersfield Californian building and quietly pointing fingers at everyone else… while attempting to control the mass consciousness through their secret star chamber meetings. OK, I’m kidding about that, but you have to wonder just why the Ginger Moorhouse, the sister who exposed her own brother as a supposed Lord of Bakersfield won’t allow her staff to write in detail about a mere fiction novel on the topic… enough said!)
I was hanging out with folks from kerngamers.com at what is called a LAN (Local area network) party. Just what is a LAN? Are people literally shooting off heads? No. Not unless you’re freaky enough to think that cyberland is your reality. We won’t go there. Where we will go is to last night’s LAN festivities.
Folks were on-hand from the band Dirty Spanglish, nlbelardes.com, gamers anonymous, kerngamers.com, sunraycafe.com, Cerro Coso Animation Academy, and more! Those are serious minds and attitudes all hooking up computers for simulated World War Two first-person shoot-em-up blood baths, and more... All for bragging rights that are every bit as important as if I were playing a 7-game playstation hockey series with Alexandre Bolduc from the Bakersfield Condors. It was that intense.
I tried for a little while and got ‘almost last’ on a few games while Dirty Spanglish overall seemed to come up on the heels of grand champion Chris Hines. He used a fancy shotgun and machine gun to lay waste to cyber battlefields. Many of us were annoyed. He was that good.
I of course had to hand over the reins to Dirty Spanglish, so went home and slept. I wanted to play, but there were just too many folks and no open slots… I would interview Dirty Spanglish about Battlefront 2 and Ragdoll Karate, but he’s going to be sleeping the day away after such an intense all-nighter and bloodbath at the local church…
