How many boyfriends does it take to change a light bulb?
More than the two that were available, apparently, so I stood on a chair and did it myself. Obviously, the combined efforts of the 6' and taller club were not enough. ^_~;
Aside from that, the party went off without a hitch. The first floor/living room was the most crowded and gamer-fied it's ever been and probably ever will be (until I have my own living room, that is), with three TVs hooked up to three different consoles and all of them in use. I know that may be par for the course for some, but I was proud of my little gamer party on Friday night.
Using the adapter for the PS2 guitar controller to the PS3 console was a failure. We ended up playing the PS2 version of GH3. Not that I played all that much. In fact, at one point I was mostly hanging out with Raquel, showing her (and dying miserably and frequently in) Bioshock. And then showing her some of Portal, which was lots of fun, and later Guitar Hero 3. Later I saw Maryann helping Raquel to play and thought that it was awesome that even though Raquel is no where near a gamer, she was willing and excited to try stuff out! Raquel's really cool.
A bunch of the guys had Halo 3 going for a while, and there was also some imported Bleach and Naruto game action going on as well.
It was also really nice that my co-worker Aimee and her boyfriend Steve showed up on a last-minute invitation -- all the way from Staten Island, no less! They were very cool and I think they enjoyed hanging out and gaming with everyone. =D
I had a really awesome time, so I really want to thank everyone who showed up! And so now I will list everyone because people like to see their names in lights, right? loudnbothered, thedreamerworld, ddrkaiba, blackmage137, rathshakar, mailliwkuraido, Raquel, Aimee, Steve, Will and Jerry. And, of course, inbredchocobo and metallicapixie, who don't exactly count.
Only two members of the NoE crew actually made it, but they seemed to have gotten along very well with NA, so I have hope for possible future encounters as well. =D
I'd post some of the few pics that were taken, but most are blurry.
And on a slight side note, I use the word "awesome" way too much. >_<;
