MASTERS OF CHALLENGE
As I’m sure you can imagine, things here at the Institute have pretty much ground to a halt. We’re all too busy watching what’s going on in your world!
Ever since I told the Masters about PopCap’s “Game with the Peggle Masters” event…
“Game with the Peggle Masters”
Thursday, March 19, 4 to 7 p.m. PST
Xbox Live Arcade
... they’ve been tizzying around like the fantastical bunch of magical animals and aliens they are! Warren’s been lifting weights, Claude’s been running 3-minute miles and Lord Cinderbottom’s been preening and tending his wings like a hummingbird before the junior prom. I didn’t have the heart to tell them none of that will help.
I tried to stress that these were no ordinary humans we were going up against. Again and again I defined “hardcore gamer” to them but they stuck their wings or claws or paws or whatevers in their ears and sung “La la la,” refusing to listen. Quite annoying, really.
I’ve traveled, you see. I’ve been to other worlds —even your world!— and I’ve seen what these “gamers” play and how they play it. I’ve watched their fierce competitiveness, their unyielding commitment, the sheer mental and physical perfection they demand of themselves in pursuit of their chosen hobby.
I mean, sure, we’re Peggle Masters. We’re pretty good at Peggle. But facing off against these implacable, pitiless, highly skilled humans… I don’t know if my bold but often childishly naïve team of teachers and magic-makers is prepared for the carnage that may ensue. Heck, I don’t know if I’m prepared for it!
But we have no choice. The honor of the Peggle Institute is at stake!
