“The Bomberman Blues”

Hey pals & gals. This small comic is from a deep part of my heart. My childhood was spent playing video games all day, but even so, I was never that good. I mostly played classic RPGs, because they required no skill; one only had to get up to level 99 for each character to totally kill that final monster.

So when I entered the world of Halo and CoD at the houses of my dearest friends, I was humiliated in front of all. Everyone meleed me from behind, goddamnit. You could never possibly know the pain I felt. My friends had 19 kills and I had one, and the only reason I got that one was because I managed to blow us both up at the same time.

I wondered to myself as I walked down the halls in high school, When will I ever beat my bros in a game? Shall I forever be the worst gamer in the room?

Well, one day, my friend put on Bomberman. I was the best. I was unstoppable. I blew up every other Bomberman within miles. It seemed like I was just doing it on instinct, my gameplay was so flawless.

I thought, hey, now that I’m good at Bomberman, maybe I’ll get a little more respect around here. But no, it was not to be. Even after winning game after game, no one cared. No one patted me on the back or praised my skill like they did after CoD. We just turned off the screen and forgot about it.

Thus, that is where this comic comes from. Do you understand now, smallies? DO YOU?
