Competition amongst siblings

This is us constantly battling! I got these pictures from here and just mashed them up!

  
Do you have a brother or a sister? Be them older or younger? I do, in fact I have quite a few of them. Among them there is one of my younger brothers, Ammon. Now the both of us don’t exactly get along very well. We have problems like agreeing on things. One thing we do agree on though is Nintendo. We have almost the exact same taste in games. He starts to play a game and I suddenly want to play it too, and vise versa. So what’s the big deal?

Well it gets really interesting when we start to play the same game. If it’s a fighting game, like Soul Calibur 2 or Mortal Kombat, we each get good at one character and verse each other constantly to see who is the better one. Sometimes he wins and sometimes I win. The better person is usually the one who gets more playing time. This is why I usually loose. I have other things to do like sports and blogs. The same thing applies to the RPG games we play, well sort of.

For RPG’s what we do is to see who beats it first. Soon we are trying to undermine each other. We do this by just sitting there watching, criticizing, saying how we could do it better. There is another reason to watch them play. You watch them to see how to do certain parts, how to get past obstacles, and beat ending guys. In the end who ever wins gets a great honor. The honor is being asked by younger siblings (sometimes older ones) how to do things. Why is it such a big deal? By them asking you for help they acknowledge that you are better! Being better totally rocks!

The game that Ammon and I have been competing with recently is Metroid Prime. I think I’m doing pretty well considering the fact that I started later than him. I may not be as far but I do have one more artifact than him! I guess what it comes down to is who works better under pressure. I can beat ending guys faster and do things a bit better than Ammon. Oh wow I can beat my little brother at something, I know I’m lame.

I am happy that we have this sort of bond between us. It is a fun way to take out our frustrations on each other! If you are mad then you go and play Nintendo so you can beat the other one at it! So if you aren’t really getting along with your sibling go and start a competition! I've got to say it is pretty awesome! Especially when you win.
