George's 2023 Summah Games

June is upon us, which means it's time to Have A Summah. These games may or may not have that Summertime vibe. I can only determine if they do through a little Summah investigation. I intend to play these games over the next three months, and any that qualify will be subsequently added to my primary Summah Games list. I need to keep this list reasonable, so I won't be adding more to it, but feel free to tell me how you make the most of the season.

I got my Kirby tank top, the shortest pair of shorts I could find, a big box of snacks, a blender for making fruit smoothies, and god damnit, I'm going to have me a Summah.

Mario Tennis is peak Summah. My brother and I would play that next to fans eating popcicles. There's a little dictionary of terms that I would read through just for fun. Tennis has beautiful lexicality. Ace, Volley, Deuce, Love, Lob, Rally.

Once we spent a whole day digging through our garage to find old tennis rackets, hiked miles to our closest public park with a court, and learned very quickly that we did not have what it takes, whatever IT is. My leading theory is a country club upbringing.

All that being said the Gameboy Mario Tennis rips ass and is way cooler than the 64 version. Played that one while moving across the country. I have no memories of playing Mario Tennis that doesn't include a fan at full blast and 100+ degree Summah heat.
