[notyourutopian]

See that works!

It was mostly mario games I think?
It's kind of old now.
My sister has a 3DS but I've never tried it.

I think I'm usually too busy to sit around playing games.

[rhapsodeity]

it is a lot more fun to play with everyone!!!!!!!!!

lol
the only games i play are memory games on my cellphone and board games

[notyourutopian]

I always get frustrated at party games when I lose.
They are more fun though. most of the time.

I played farmville 2 for a while.
But like

I don't know I guess I'm just too easily distracted by other things for games.

[rhapsodeity]

[notyourutopian]

I can't remember the last time I played a board game.
I think it was...monopoly?
At a birthday party.

Sure I'd be down for that.
Can't go wrong with some old school fun right?

[rhapsodeity]

lol well i guess old school is one way to put it
my family and i play board games every sunday!
its a lot of fun and i guess it is no mario kart but i think its just as fun :)

[notyourutopian]

When I was younger my sister's and I played them a lot.
But then everyone got like, tablets and phones and junk and we all just...stopped.

Which is actually a shame, thinking about it.

Invite people?

[rhapsodeity]

i think it would be fun to have a board game night or something
its different from playing video games but just as fun!

[notyourutopian]

I can usually keep it all straight in my head.
Unless I suddenly add something unexpected.

Yeah, it could be fun!
Plus we'll have to like, interact. Face to face.
How weird.

hehe.
So what're we playing?

[rhapsodeity]

lol soooooo spooooky
seeing each other offline :O
how will we handle it!!!!!
i am shaking in my boots :p

hmmmm
there are a couple of classics but you said you havent played any in a while right???

[notyourutopian]

I need the comforting glow of a cellular phone to insulate me from human interaction!
This will be torture!

Nope.
Not in years.
It's all new to me.

[rhapsodeity]

wow spoken like a true millenial!
i think we are millenials?

what about operation???

[notyourutopian]

I think I...might be?
I was born in 99.
Well we can be mellenials at heart!
Without phones and the old people hating out phones.

Uh
The game where you pick things out of the body without making it zap?

[rhapsodeity]

i think they hate ours most :O
because we grew up in a point where all we knew was technology or something lol

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its challenging and fun and has an electronic element so it kind of is like a bridge from video games to board games :D

[notyourutopian]

Young whippersnappers changing the world into something they don't understand?
We're monsters, Jade. Monsters!

Well how can I argue with that?
I will try not to be terrible at it.
But I doubt we can play it all evening.
