Lightning Round: Game On! Edition
After a much needed hiatus, the Lightning Round is back once again to give you bits of information that you could care less about and leave you disappointed and wanting the 2 to 3 minutes of your life back (please leave our wives out of this). As always, John is in blue and Jon is in red. On to the questions!
What’s your favorite card game?
I like poker (hold’em) but I’ve also been known to play Magic: The Gathering a few times as well (Nerd!). There’s a game we have now called Munchkin that is a lot of fun as well. Favorite? Hold’em.
I too would have to say Hold ‘Em, but there is also something to be said for a rousing game of Uno. Also, what was that card game we used to play at our first apartment in LA?
What’s your favorite roll-the-dice-and-move game?
I don’t know if I have one of those. For some reason “Monopoly” comes to mind but that game, to me, always seems like a good idea and then around hour 3, you’re willing to kill someone just to end the game. So, that being said, I’m going to go with “Sagred-opoly”.
Does Trivial Pursuit count? If so, I would have to say that is my favorite, followed by Life and Monopoly.
What’s your favorite playground game?
Back in the olden days (I’m talking when Mammoths still roamed freely) when I used to run and be active, I would have to say that kick-ball was my favorite. I remember a particular game during my fifth grade year. I was “pitching” and just as I was about to throw the ball, the bell rang and when the bell rang, we were supposed to freeze (the dumbest thing ever – but whatever). The girl I was pitching to kept saying “Pitch the ball. Pitch the ball! Pitch the damn ball!” because she wanted to have her last… at bat? at kick?… but I was too in fear of getting a dreaded “red card” to do so. This affected her so much that at the end of the year she wrote “Pitch the damn ball!” in my copy of our reasonable facsimile of a yearbook. It apparently also affected me so much that I chose to write about it 25 years… really? 25 years? Damn… later.
It is all about the Four Square.
What’s your favorite party game?
I’ve not been to enough parties to know of a single party game. I do however have fond memories of our Murder Mystery Dinner Parties. Those were fun. I have pictures around here somewhere…
I like the one where you have to put the name of a famous person in a hat and then you draw the names out and you have to act it out and see how many people can guess correctly in a short amount of time.
What’s your favorite computer game?
I thought this one would be hard but turns out, it’s not. Civilization. It’s the new crack.
Spider Solitaire and Free Cell
