was the plan at least, and a pretty good one I thought!

What's actually keeping me from parking in the garage is this:



If you've dismissed this as harmless faggotry keep in mind i play with the garage door open because i'm past the point of caring and to avoid sweating to death. I can't tell what the name of the game is supposed to be and youtubes squaresquaresquare02 description was no help at all. When neighbors inevitably ask me what i'm playing I tell them I'M NOT REALLY MEXICAN, I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH and then through sign language and angry pointing i explain I've been calling the game Nip Flip and that it's probably a pretty good translation.

The chances of me having a heart attack over this game are FANTASTIC. What seemed like a fun way to blow off a little steam after work has turned into an obsession. Why can't my table ever clear the back row, why do I have so much trouble flipping too early, WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE GOOKS SAYING - this shit has kept me up at night. I figured the transition between keyboard flipping to table flipping would be a seamless one, but brother, I could not have been more wrong. The subtle differences in size and weight, factoring in the half-finished meal I'm trying to send across the room, not to mention the keyboard takes a vertical flip to the table's horizontal arch has me all turned around. That or the physics in this game are fucking bullshit and I should be decimating a roomful of unsuspecting diners in one flip, practice will tell!


Some would argue the aggressive forceful approach is a lot more fun, but I just got into some of the higher master-level stuff and it's pretty enlightening. Here is the delicate touch Nip Flip master Shinai Aoki brings to the table, ever the showman the cocksucker checks his watch as the carnage ensues!




I've stopped worrying over sometimes drawing a crowd, to make sure I'm really feeling the character in mid-flip I alternate between yelling FUCK THIIIIIISSSSSSSSS and inarticulate screaming. What I DO worry about is the inevitable western gaijin translation of the game turning it into something more familiar after all the time I've sunk into mastering this format :(
