Trying out cheat codes

Google. Why hadn't I thought of that? "That's a great idea," I told my best friend as I grabbed my phone and started searching. The results that came up were all the usual stuff. Mostly cheat codes and a lot of random chats on cool ways to kill zombies. Bri continued her gum chewing as she waited for my verdict. I was pretty sure that in the years I'd known her I'd never called her by her full name, she'd been Bri forever and always would be.

"Find anything?" Bri looked patient but I knew she was ready to start killing some zombies. She was always ready to kill zombies.

"Usual stuff. Hang on, this is a weird entry. Just has a code but not what it's for. And the only thing the person has with it is 'try this'." I looked at Bri and shrugged.

"So let's try it," Bri said.

"What if it crashes my xbox or something?" I thought that over for a second. "Well, not that it could screw it up any more than it already is... Alright, guess we can do it." I passed over my phone and showed the code to her.

"Ok, we've got to put it in at the same time," Bri said when she finished reading what I had come up with.

I nodded. "Hope it's something good and not super lame or anything."

Left 4 Dead...For Real

“Come on, come on, WORK GODDAMNIT!” Lindley screamed at her Xbox as it sang it´s malfunctioning mechanical tune while failing to load the game we were attempting to play. “It´s thinking, just give it a second, and don´t hit it!” I mumbled, trying to muffle a giggle. After three long minutes of praying, staring, swearing, and finger crossing, the TV screen was finally graced with the presence of our favorite video game characters, Zoe, Lewis, Bill, and Francis, just mere seconds away from being mobbed by a horde of very angry and hungry zombies. “We could watch this intro scene three million times and it would never get old; which level do you want to play?” Lindley asked me, her hands gripping the Xbox controller both anxiously and excitedly. “I know I´m sick of playing the airport level, actually I´m sick of all the levels, we have played them to death. Let´s go on Google, there has to be some secret level or something that we have yet to unlock, maybe even some cheatcodes.” I responded in between my obnoxious gum chewing.
