It was a typical gaming day for Tealy and DumbDird, and both were itching to play Dird Sports, the hottest game on the DirdBox. The DirdBox, much like the Nintendo Wii, had become famous for its interactive and motion-controlled games. Dird Sports, in particular, allowed players to engage in various sporting activities—boxing being a fan-favorite. DumbDird had always enjoyed playful competition, but Tealy was in it to win, eager to claim some fresh badges for his DirdBox profile.
The DirdBox, as usual, delivered smooth gameplay. Despite not having the power of consoles like the PS5 or Xbox, it made up for it with unique, innovative features and an engaging experience. Players could even earn badges for mastering games, which fueled Tealy’s motivation even more. He had been training to win the "Knockout King" badge, a rare achievement only a few had earned.
As the match started, DumbDird could barely hold back his excitement, and Tealy was laser-focused. Both had their motion controllers in hand, ready to throw jabs and dodge punches. The DirdBox’s motion controls made the boxing game feel incredibly real, with each player’s movements precisely translated into the game.
DumbDird started throwing wild punches, his controller flying left and right. Tealy was quick to dodge and counter. But, as the rounds progressed, Tealy began to tire. DumbDird, who had been goofing around earlier, suddenly unleashed a surprising level of skill. With a single, well-timed uppercut, DumbDird landed a hit that sent Tealy’s in-game character spiraling down to the mat.
"DOWN!" the game announced.
Tealy’s face turned bright teal, and he stumbled back in shock as his in-game avatar lay motionless on the ground. DumbDird erupted in laughter as Tealy groggily stared at the screen, still processing what had just happened.
Tealy had been knocked out—both in the game and emotionally.
DumbDird proudly earned the Knockout King badge while Tealy, still recovering, sighed in disbelief. The badges system, one of the DirdBox's most celebrated features, displayed DumbDird’s achievement for all to see, adding insult to injury.
Despite the loss, Tealy couldn’t stay mad for long. After all, this was what the DirdBox was all about—fun, unpredictable, and innovative gaming experiences that didn’t need to rely on the most advanced hardware. Plus, there was always another chance to rematch, maybe next time in Dird Tennis or Dird Bowling. But for now, Tealy would have to live with the fact that DumbDird had knocked him out cold in Dird Sports Boxing.
