He would soon find out how he'd fare with them, too, now that he heard the knock at the door. He threw it open, already radiating with boyish energy as he gave him a large grin. "Hey-!"
Then he just stared at the strange, uh, thing that was with him.
"... What the heck is THAT."

"Gust? Uh, he's a pet ... or er friend. He kinda goes everywhere with me," he laughed. "Whether I like it or not."
A blink and a curious look. "May I come in?"

He moved out of the way to let him in, and before he'd turn his game off, he pointed to the screen. "See?! That's a video game! That's Pyro the Dragon, the coolest game on the Funstation 2!"

Okay. Ivan followed Nester into the room and watched the screen his friend pointed to. So a video game was something on the television screen. And you played it. "Uh, I dont know what a Funstation 2 is, but I guess that makes sense."
Reply
"The Funstation's only one of the best gaming systems ever! There's also the PES, the SPES, the Panasonic 64, the first Funstation, and uhhhh... a lot more! They're all rad!"
He gestured to all of the systems that were piled up around the television in the room (though not all of them were plugged). "Which one do you wanna play?!" If Ivan didn't wanna choose, Nester would just choose for him.
Reply
And holy crap there were a lot of systems. Ivan couldn't even fathom how half of them worked. And now Nester wanted him to choose one. "Ummm...y.. you can choose. I wouldn't even know where to start!"

He lead Ivan over to a box that he kept inside of his closet. It was a decently sized one full of Super Panasonic and Panasonic 64 games from top to bottom. Oho boy, he was quite the collector. "I've got the biggest game collection out there! It's totally record-breaking!" Well, not really, but he liked to stretch the truth for his own egotistical reasons.
"I've got games like Fiddly Kong Racing, Violin-Nooie, Giana Kart 64, Giana Party games, and a lot of other games we can play! Uhhh, what kind of games do you wanna play?! We can do racing or shootout games or board game... games or..."
He just went on and on and on and ON goodness did he ever stop talking about games?

Ivan snickered a little at Nester's enthusiasm. "W-whichever would be best for beginners, I guess?" Because honestly, all he was going to be doing was button-mashing until he got the hang of it for real.

Nester went over to the gaming console, stuck the game inside, and turned it on. After watching the title sequence of a show being held where the Giana Sisters series big brute was causing trouble was shown, the game's title popped up in bright colors. Nester skipped all the pointless stuff and went down to the nitty-gritty: a two-player game with two CPUs! Oh boy!
There was a list of characters, ranging from Giana and Maria themselves to Monkey Kong and others because Essay is just half-assing this derp. "I'm gonna use Monkey Kong!"
Reply
"We'll see." Ivan laughed. There was always that beginner's luck, wasn't there? Though it was highly doubtful in Ivan's case. The blonde chose a comfortable spot close to Nester and watched the screen in ~ subtle awe~ so it was an adventure game! Sorta! Ivan could do adventures! Games would be easier than real life, right? He manhandled the controller for a bit, gently, but still thumbing over each button and toggle - and watching the screen to make sure he didn't mess anything up.
When Ivan next looked up, there was a character selection screen. Okay, he didn't know what a CPU was but there were two of him and now he had to choose a character. Uh. Ivan chose one randomly. It was Maria. Which sounded kinda like Mia - not that he wanted to be her or anything but ... uh. "Okay. What do we do?" Gust chirped again in mutual curiosity.
Reply
"We do this!" Nester spoke, choosing two computer-controlled characters for the two of them to play against. "See those?! We don't play as those guys, but they're gonna try to beat us! But I can- uhh, I mean we can beat them! I'll just beat you, too." Clearly Nester had confidence in him, perhaps a bit too much. The two computer characters that I don't have names for, so they'll be CPU1 and CPU2 for now were selected. He then chose the easy difficulty setting, and off the characters went onto a board ( ... )

It was Ivan's turn now and he watched the dice spin until he utlizied his ~awesome one button pushing skills~ and got a 5. He landed on a blue space like Nester had so he piped up with his brilliant discovery. "Oh okay. Red takes away gems, then I guess. Ha ha, that is easy...!"
The CPUs moved on there own and Ivan had a small moment of "oooooh".
((yah that's fine! |D;; )
Reply
Suddenly, after the last CPU's turn, a scrolling wheel popped up and the center spun. There were four triangles within, each containing the name of a mini-game. It landed on 'Bumper Balls', which was one of the simpler, yet slightly tougher games.
"This one's easy! Read the instructions!" He gestured to them on the screen. They were simple: use the control stick to move.
... Yeah, simple.
"All you've gotta do is knock everyone off the platform! Ready?!"
Reply
The announcer lady on the screen shouted the start and the music began playing. Ivan played it like one of those beginners that veered the hell away from the other players so they wouldn't get pushed off, rather than actively trying to push them off himself.
Uh. For now anyways.
Reply
Nester went over to CPU2, and began to bump it along. They bumped at each other back and forth until the redhead managed to get the CPU by its side and, after a few more small tries, he knocked it off of the platform.
"See?!"
Reply
After Nester's demo, Ivan went in head first though kind of nervously because he was probably gonna die, but it was worth a shot. He found it was a little harder to control but managed to bump the other CPU closer to the edge.
