Riley thought about canceling class today but he actually found that he wanted to do something that wasn't thinking about the island and it's stupid weirdness. So, class was still on. Maybe video games would help the students out too?

"So, that was a heck of a thing, right?" Riley said, using that as a greeting. "I was dying of a mysterious illness before I sold my soul to someone who could cure me. Hope you all had a better time. Anyway, today we're going to be playing Centipede. Centipede was made by Atari in 1981 and is your typical shoot 'em up arcade game. In Centipede, you, the player, defend against centipedes, spiders, scorpions and fleas and you win a round by taking out the centipede that's winding its way around the screen. Sounds pretty simple, right? Believe me, once a ton of junk ends up on your screen, you'll be eating those words."

Riley smiled. "Centipede was pretty significant for being one of the first arcade games to have a big female player base. Girl gamers were rising and they were about to start kicking all our butts. Okay, so ready to play some Centipede? Let's get to it."

Riley was definitely going to be participating this time. He had to outlet his weird feeling somewhere.

It's short and sweet but use it in anyway you'd like!

Time to play Centipede! (http://my.ign.com/atari/centipede) Have fun and try not to die too much!

Sorry, class narrative, Karolina was going to die a lot.

Fighting the Swarm was much easier than this!

Best class ever? Best class ever. Totally worth passing through that week to get here.

Okay, not really, but the class was pretty good.

Billy died a bunch at the beginning before getting into the Centipede groove, and this was nice and relaxing after the weekend.

He can help you out if you're nice and he's in a good mood!

Topher was totally in a good mood - it was hard not to be after spending almost the entire weekend asleep. He was pleasantly taking out some insects but would be more than willing to help if anyone asked.

He's also around if needed!

I had a dream about having a pot luck at work. My dreams are obviously so exciting.
