A Video Game Birthday

The time of year had come to celebrate my son’s birthday. After a little thought we came up with what we hoped would be a great way to celebrate the occasion. We could turn our home into an arcade. The theme of the party was going to be go big or go home, and we decided we would go big.

The first thing we would need was going to be some video game platforms, and it was not going to be good enough to only have one, we would have to get a Nintendo Wii, an xbox 360 kinect and a Playstation move along with a variety of games for the kids to play and some televisions for them to play on.

I did not think it would be difficult to get the monitors for the different consoles or even hard to get the consoles. Or so I thought it would be simple. We already had the Wii. I contacted a video game store and asked them if they had the systems to rent and found out they did not have the Xbox Kinect because it was to new and since the xbox 360 kinect release date had just passed it would be a while for them to start renting them but they did have titles available for all three of the platforms and it would just be a matter of finding a store that had the titles that I wanted. We did not let that stop us from getting all three platforms. We decided to talk to some of my son’s friends and borrow the platforms from them.

The other part of the gaming equation was getting the monitors to enjoy the games on. We already owned one big screen television and another that was fairly big. For the third television we decided to go all out. The local furniture rental store had a TV that had over a six foot screen that we went ahead and rented. They did not let you rent it for a couple of days, so it stayed in our home for a month. That was just one of the things that would have to be done for the party is what I figured. My wife hated the idea, but it had to be done.

Once we had all the plans in place, the party took shape. My son went to the video store and was able to rent video games that everyone would like to play. My son told the kids who he invited to bring any games or accessories that they wanted. Our home also had other gaming consoles that we no longer used but were still able to work. There were monitors and game systems in almost every room of the house. We did not have a shortage of things for a kid to do.

As the kids arrived I was amazed at the variety of thing that they brought with them. The number of accessories that these kids had for the games was amazing. I think we would have been able to open our own store with all of the stuff. There was also a wide variety of games to chose from for all of the platforms. It was a good thing the party was a sleepover so the kids would have enough time to enjoy everything they had.

I was too old to go without sleep. The kid’s did. I do not think the televisions ever got turned off. As I cooked some food, they were still playing. When we returned the teenagers to their parents, I am sure that they looked very tired for the rest of the day. The good news is that the party was the talk of the school the next week.
