TAMAGOTCHIS ARE BACK!
OMGGGGGG we were so excited.
We got one each. Tabatha got a pink girl. Kelly got a blue boy.
We thought this was the beginning of a great love story.
But instead, a heart-breaking tragedy ensued.
When our Tamagotchis arrived, we were unreasonably excited.
The new models are way more advanced than the ones you had as a child. They don't look vastly different, because they use the same grainy graphics, but MY GOD they are.
For starters, they can now communicate.
They also have three new games.
1. We encountered our first problem when our Tamagotchi eggs hatched.
2. The next thing we learnt is that Tamagotchis are always hungry.
"Never mind," we thought, feeding them their 95th loaves of bread. "We'll just head to the pub."
Hot trend for 2014: bringing your Tamagotchis to the pub.
3. The problem is, Tamagotchis are very snoozy beings.
But, somehow, they still managed to make friends. Friends who enquired about their wellbeing the following morning.
4. No matter how much we fed them or took them to the park, they were never happy.
My tamagotchi is SO SAD I don’t know what it wants anymore
We thought maybe they just wanted to be together.
So Kelly's Tamagotchi jumped on the bus to Tabatha's Tamagotchi's house.
And then we took them dancing.
5. The next morning, when we crawled out of bed hungover, our Tamagotchis were starving.
We played games with them to make them happier.
6. That night, they died.
We miss you, Tamagotchi babies. We're sorry you never had the chance to fall in love. And we'll never forgive ourselves for killing you.
