'“Grrrrrrr! C’moooon! C’mon c’mon c’moooooooon!!!” The fennec said out loud as her avatar onscreen delivered blow after blow on an unexpectedly hard boss. “Pleeeeease… please-please-please don’t die on me now, pleeeeeease?!?!?” Her sweaty fingers on her controller were moving too fast to be seen as she desperately attempted to take down this boss after several failed tries. Shannon had underestimated how difficult this boss was. After every failed try, she got closer and closer to victory, but every time by far she ended up dying trying. Shannon whined softly as she bit her bottom lip in concentration as she payed close attention to every possible vulnerable spot on her enemy, while taking care not to deplete her own character’s HP, which at that point like all other tries, had gotten considerably low. This time however, despite being on the verge of dying once again, her enemy was losing steam as well. Her eyes lit up as she began to feel a slight feeling of hope and giddiness, for perhaps this time she might actually defeat the boss? Maybe? A more serious look of concentration and determination formed on her face. “Almost! Got it! Almost, come onnnnn… c’mon c’mon! Oooooh..!” She told her character as they dealt several more powerful blows, and when she least expected it, her character landed a critical hit. The enemy she had tried so hard to take down for the past several hours, went down in a spectacular explosion of pixels and fireworks. “YES! YES yes-yes-yes-yes YES!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEHEEHEE!” Shannon shouted happily as she threw her hands up in the air in a victory pose while giving her hips a wiggle. Shannon rolled on to her back with a proud sigh and relief, followed by a giggle. She had conquered one of the hardest virtual enemies she had ever fought in her life, and ‘twas an event that she would not forget for some time…'

As you can see, Shannon can get really deep in the zone when going against ridiculously challenging bosses and levels in video games. ^^; Apparently it looks like she's going against a boss that's Super Meat Boy-esque right here! I never played the game so I have yet to see if this guy's as difficult as people say...

The artist, Ryou Sakai, did a real fantastic job capturing Shannon's determination, as well as showing off other things. >///>
