Game Night Extravaganza! What's your Sign?

8/24/2008

Last night my very good group of friends (I've had since Highschool or earlier) got together for our new monthly tradition of...well, getting together. We had Game Night Extravaganza hosted at Brody's mansion in Layton. It was a great turn out yet again, and so fun to see everyone and laugh really hard all night. I had a headache and it really hurt to laugh, but it was soooo fun!

The night started off playing Mario Beijing Olympic Games on the Wii. Let's just say I was NOT meant to compete in the Hammer Throw. 2 out of 3 tries, I hit the Fence after spinning around and getting extremely dizzy. But the 3rd try was the charm, and I threw that freaking hammer (or whatever you would call it...I assume it's a hammer since it's called the "hammer throw" even though it doesn't even look like a freaking hammer) 62.8m. Rock On!!!

On that note of the Olympics...it's been interesting to see the various games that people can compete in. One very odd sport is that of Horse Jumping. Why is this a sport in the Olympics. The humans don't do anything right!? It's all the work of the Horse. If the Horse got the Gold, then THEY should be the one on the Wheaties Box right!? Maybe next time we have the Summer Games, we'll see the Olympic Wii Competition!

After that game, we busted out the Eye Touch Groove Game on the Playstation. This game is sorta like Dance Dance Revolution with a twist. Instead of hitting the appropriate mark in rhythm with your feet, there is a camera on you and you use your arms/hands to hit the spot on the screen. Clearly, the developers of this game were not Black. haha The camera couldn't pick up my hands (because they are so dark) so I was not able to compete....Until I busted out the white Wii Tennis Rackets!!! I was unstopable! haha

The last game we played was a very popular one amongst us in high school...Signs. It's the game where each person has a sign. They are trying to pass it around the circle without getting caught by the person in the middle. It's really awkward being the person in the middle...I know...I was that person a whopping 14 times last night haha. Everyone is laughing because you turn around and barely miss the sign being passed...it's like a huge inside joke and you are just dying to know what everyone is laughing about. But seriously, I have never laughed so hard. It was great times.
