@ThanosReXXX there was no beer in it but it was clearly beer pong.
Yeah, that's what they WANT you to believe...
Wii game party by midway confirmed
Ah, that one. I do believe that I've actually got that installed on my modded Wii as well.
@Tyranexx Hand-cheese? Wow, lady. If you're trying to gross me out, you're doing a fine job already...
But yeah, I hate people with greasy hands touching my controllers. Luckily, I don't have any of those kinds of people in my circle of friends and family. And if the kids have sticky fingers because of candy or whatever, then I'll of course tell them to clean them up first, before they're allowed to touch anything.
As for being too careful: I won't say that there's no such thing, but you've never come across as such, and if wanting to take care of your precious belongings means being too careful, well... then I'm probably the same. And I think others on here will probably also agree.

@NintendoByNature - Somehow, Iāve never played beer pong. It seems weird to say, but it hadnāt yet been āinventedā during my binge drinking days, mostly in college. Back then, we played a lot of Three Man, which was a dice drinking game, and also some card game I canāt even remember anymore. The thing that bothers me about beer pong when Iāve seen it played is that the ball may as well be a used urinal mint by the time it lands in a solo cup because itās been everywhere by that point. It wouldnāt have stopped me from playing if I knew about the game when I was younger though. I would have just powered past those thoughts.
I pretty much ignore Valentine's Day; it's too commercial and mushy for my liking. I even know married couples that don't really pay attention to it. I consider it to be the most useless holiday.
I'm much more partial to Discount Chocolate Day on the 15th. š
@MarioLover92 One of my Windows Theme backgrounds on my work laptop came with an image that directly references the blister from those games! XD
@Anti-Matter I personally wouldn't think anything of it if I saw someone playing DDR. There aren't any machines near where I live, so it's kinda hard to practice lol. I'm also personally not that great at rhythm games.
Why a kid can or can't play a game depends on a lot of factors, but I think some of it is because they're used to touch-based games and are less used to games with buttons.
@ThanosReXXX Hand cheese is just what I've seen it referred to as online. It thankfully doesn't come up often these days, but I know I touched a few pretty gross controllers in my younger days.
I may be a bit too careful at times, considering the fact I play some of my handheld devices with a light cloth barrier (typically a thin shirt) between my hands and the machine itself to stave off moisture stains and fingerprints; darn Nintendo and some of their shinier surface coatings on some devices lol. That was a problem with the Wii U GamePad and my OG 3DS. Using a shirt is more common during the summer months; I deal with dry hands during the winter, so it isn't much of a problem this time of the year.
@bimmy-lee i was a master bouncer in my yout. That and quarters were my go-to games. What we always did so no one got rabies from anyone else was fill the cups with water and chug a good amount of beer so we weren't sharing cups. Flippy cup was always fun too. Ahh the glory days.
I would've pegged you as a beer ponger from miles away. Well if you ever visit Chicago, all we need a wood door no one is using and some stands to hold it up. We can easily do a 1 on 1. The good thing about beer pong is even if you lose, you're drinking š
@Link-Hero honestly...i hear what you're saying but when youre caught up in the every day cycle of work, kids, schedules etc. It Almost forces couples who don't get to express thier affection for one another, the time to go out and have 1 on 1 attention that they don't normally get to do. We don't get each other lavish gifts( my wife and I), but we usually get to go out and have dinner for a couple hours which happens maybe 3 or 4 times a year. So it does have some good.
@Knuckles-Fajita Same here, yo. Iām great with customer service and training events, etc. But itās very tiring because Iām trying to hide the fact that I have general disdain for most of the audience. My colleagues that appreciate me the most are the ones that like my short-worded and to-the-point style. Why say more words when less will do.

@NintendoByNature - Iāll bring a door to Chicago with me, just in case all your doors are in use. Thatās next level technique there with the water in the cups. Smart. Completely alleviates my major concern about the sport. I was probably the ponger you thought I was, except my experience was in a different arena of beer drinking as a sport.
@HobbitGamer - I like your short worded style. Remember when I called you through the NSO app because I was freaked out about how I should politely leave the first online Smash match I had ever played? Turns out you just leave and everyone assumes youāre not (are) rage quitting. That remains the one and only time Iāve ever used the app.
@bimmy-lee i believe it. I mean, if you leave your house and have a road trip to Chicago. Odds are you won't need a door somewhere in your house. So strap It on the roof of the car and head over.
Unrelated but I just finished the main story in unravel 2. Let me tell you, it's up there with possibly the best platformer I've ever played. Only closest to smb3, and dkctf. It's that good. You should get back into it.
@ThanosReXXX Well as long as you donāt get too messed up, some N64 games could be fun with spirits. With Mario Party there is always that guy who played those minigames a thousand times and it becomes about foiling that personās plans for domination. A lot of language I canāt repeat here was thrown around š
@NintendoByNature - If there's one less person in the house, it makes sense that that we could spare at least one door. I wonāt be there using it. Wow, high praise for Unravel 2. I was actually thinking about something to play along with Golf Story, so Iāll give it a go. Itās been long enough that Iāll just delete the old save file and start over. Enjoy your VDay dude. Hope you and the missus have a great dinner.
@NotTelevision - There were more than a few time in college we used the Rainbow Road course as a measuring stick to see if anyone was fit to drive in real life. This was a bad idea, but we were full of them then.
@Link-Hero Every holiday is commerciolised. It depends on the individual to make the best of it.
For me V-day is a day for romantic surprises etc. Well it is not so different from the others but it is good to put you in the mood for some romantic stuff.
I don't get why it gets so much hate. I mean it gets more hate than Halloween for example.
I must say, I'm kind of taken aback and disappointed at all the anti-human/anti-social behavior stances here. Some of you have serious issues...
@Tyranexx Yeah, leave it up to the online community to come up with the grossest labels that they can think of for these kinds of things. In some ways, it's almost fascinatingly inventive, but in general... well, it's still gross. But seeing as you weren't the one who coined that particular phrasing, I won't hold it against you.
@NotTelevision Haha, yeah, I can imagine. Me and my friends already exchanged similar unrepeatable words when playing GoldenEye multiplayer while still being sober, so I can vividly imagine the added alcohol not exactly making things any better in that department...
But we also did the "let's gang up on the star player and ruin his game, since we're never going to win fair and square anyway" thing. Good times, good times indeed. Filled with swears, laughs, and bruised sides and black and blue arms from all the friendly poking and elbowing...

@ThanosReXXX You mean the anti-V day stuff or in general?
In my country it is funny because the Valentines Day is on the same day as our old traditional Winery (Alcohols) day and many people that are not Catholics (not that it matters at least for me) or are not with a partner are celebrating it instead.
