You know what's great? Mario Party now that we're old enough not to care

The source of so many broken controllers and Monopoly-level ragequits is pretty awesome once all your friends learn a healthy detachment from video games in general and video games dominated by random number generators in particular.

I dunno. No genre of video game is more dominated by the random-number god than the roguelike, yet I played NetHack for years and even at twenty it would break my heart to lose a successful character.

I am too detached to play roguelikes, though.

Man, I could stand to be a little more detached.

We used to hardcore play Mario Party...

You know how it's enjoyable if you do care? By winning all the time.

An unreliable strategy at best. Too much is entirely up to chance.

I single-handedly got all of my roommates and friends last year to hate Mario Party.

50 turns.

3 hours.

Friday night.

Reported for allegedly throwing a party (the irony makes it even better).

We were reported for yelling at each other around 4am. We just wanted it to be over by that point...

I dunno, I've never had a problem with that. The minigames are still mostly skill-based and a consistent winning in the minigames is often enough to off-set the randomness of the rest.
