Video Game Decathlon **EDITED**
Participants:
Becca, Jess, Brett, Phil, Jordan, Jeff, D, Andy, Kellen, Lucas, Kristen, Elman, Steve, Robert, Damon, Toaster
Other observers:
Jennifer, Jonny, Leigh, Joey, Greg
21 people, 1 party, epic booze, and 10 fighting games.
We played:
Naruto Clash of Ninja, Godzilla Save the Earth, Capcom vs SNK 2, Mortal Kombat: Deception, Bleach: Shattered Blade, Guilty Gear XX #Reload, King of Fighters '06, Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection, Soul Calibur IV AND DOA3 (for Toaster).
1st place: Brett (actually tied with Damon but won a coin toss), won a set of giant shuriken
2nd place: Damon, won a giant NERF missile and launcher
3rd place: Phil, won a large foam mace
4th place: Kellen, won a wrist mounted mini crossbow and two arrows
Last place: Toaster, won a stick with a sparkly pink pom-pom on the end (we told him he was a mage).
Over all a fun night. It's currently 3AM, and everyone is passed out. Most everyone is gone. Only Toaster, Steve, Robert, and Luke remain; half of them are scattered about my living room. It was a return to fun gaming and I hope everyone had a good time. It was definitely a mixing of groups, trying to meld Luke's group with Brett's group and D's group. Jonny and Leigh came around but didn't really speak to anyone. They stayed till the end though, better than I can say for Kristen and Elman who left early and forfeited any matches they had won.
The next decathlon will be rhythm games. DDR, In the Groove, Rock Band (guitar, drums, bass, and vocals), Frequency, Amplitude, Taiko Drum master, Beatmania IIDX. Gear up and get ready! Maybe this time I will have a chance :P
EDIT: So I must say the drinking was great and the games were fun. A few things I must mention are:
1) The sink. 1/2 bottle Drano Max Gel couldn't heal it, and at some later point a hapless cockroach decided to take a swim in it and died. "Oooh look a swimming pool... OH NO DRANO!"
2) Kristen and her "friend" Elman. Kristen spent 1/3 the night screaming "I hate you" at all my friends, another 1/3 of the night drinking and leaving half-empty bottles of beer all over the place, and the last 1/3 of the night making out with her "friend" Elman. Greeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaat.
3) D's epic fail. D, you do not mess with my female friends. Jennifer did not deserve to be harrassed and later slapped on the ass. This is why I rarely bring my female friends around. I have edited out most of the things I earlier typed in anger because I guess shit has to be civil. But, I swear, if you say that she was "asking for it" I will hurt you. Your perception of how to treat women is MESSED UP.
Oh yeah, about Damon. If he doesn't want to drink, that's his business. He still hasn't told me why he doesn't drink, but I don't need to know, and neither do you. Whatever reason he has, he doesn't have to rationalize anything to a random drunk guy he doesn't know. I'll be lucky if he comes back to my parties ever again. You WILL NOT scare off my other friends.
You will NOT use "but, but I was drunk, it doesn't count" as an excuse. If you do, you will immediately fall into the Gibby class of reasoning and be uninvited to my events forthwith. If you realize that you are socially unacceptable whilst drunk, then DO NOT GET THAT DRUNK. Acting like an asshole in front of friends means that you don't treat us with common courtesy, and is frankly galling.
