The Spiral Tower of Doom (yeah, whatever)
Gundam, Batman Beyond
Again, I'm still trying to get over a cough. More cold-drug-induced mayhem.

It was only a game. The playing field was a black ramp spiraling up a cone-shaped tower. At first, it was simply the size of some little model. The players in the game were little action figures. I had a Gundam action figure. One of my friends had a little Batman Beyond action figure, and my other friend had a Matchbox car. The object was to move the action figures around on the ramp to knock off a little rubber washer that was sitting somewhere on it.

After a few rounds, the tower suddenly became life-sized, as did our figures. So, I was driving around a Gundam, one friend was driving a car, and the third was Batman. Eventually, for some reason, we all fell off the tower to the base. Well, Batman and the car fell onto the base. Surrounding the life-sized tower was a moat of radioactive goo, and my Gundam fell into it (luckily, I escaped). I was saddened by the loss of my Gundam, so went to the store to find a new one. The others went with me.

When I got to the store, they were all out of Gundam action figures. However, my friend with Batman handed the clerk her action figure and asked to have it fixed. Apparently after the fall, one of Batman's pointy ear things broke off. The clerk grinned evilly and went into the back room with Batman.

However, we will never know what befell Batman, as I woke up right then. Oh foo.
