Finally A Post!!!!!

I know. I'm as shocked as you are. When Nate and I decided to create a blog together whenever it was, I expected things to take off quickly. Then I remembered how lazy I was. Then I remembered how lazy Nate was. Things didn't look promising. It took us like two months just to show enough effort to meet in the library for three hours to make the damn thing. I mean we've made Sherman on Sports looks like the fucking Catcher in the Rye. Anyways, it's time Grefe and I sacked up.

-side note-
At least two of those three hours were spent trying to find a URL that wasn't gobbled up by some lazy shit who thought it'd be fun to make a blog then never make a single post (sound familiar?). So if our blog ever looks horrible (which it will/does), know that we're better than these assholes:

Ok, now on to the main point. Somehow finding time between the pounding of Tenders at lunch on Friday, a beautiful, wonderful, terrifying idea was born. A 16-man, 5 day, Mario Party tournament. The set up will basically look like a watered down World Cup, with 4 groups of 4 players. Each group will play a game of Mario Party next week with the winner of each group moving into a final, winner-take-all championship game for all of the world to see. If all the fun of Mario Party isn't ruined forever by this tourney, then I'll be seriously disappointed. In preparation I've decided to rank my top 5 favorite Mario Party mini-games (because the tournament is Mario Party 2, I've limited my selections to Mario Party 2 mini-games):

5. Bobsled Run
-Personally, I love the 2 vs 2 games. Mainly, because if you lose you can just blame your j-bro teammate. And Bobsled Run is perhaps the best 2 vs 2 game. It takes both skill and strategy to not only outsled your teammate, but to make it to the finish line intact. A victory in Bobsled Run means so much more than the 10 coins you win.
4. Bumper Balls
-A hilarious name and a Mario Party classac (hehe). The Mario Party 2 version of the game is also great because you're on ice, adding another layer of difficulty to an already challenging game. This game would rank a lot higher, however, if it didn't result in so many damn draws.
3.Day at the Races
-This game takes absolutely no skill, but is somehow ridiculously fun. All you do is pick a character (Boo, Bobomb, Thwomp, or that Blue Block) and cheer them on in a race against the other characters. Because the game requires you to do nothing, you can focus all your energy on cheeering/heckling your racer.
2. Face Lift
-Another Mario Party classic, this game requires a unique blend of precision, speed, and creativity. Proving that you have more of those attributes than your opponents can really give you the motivation needed for a late game run.
1. Bowser's Big Blast
-Another game that takes no skill, but by far the most exciting game on Mario Party. I've seen this mini-game go on for double-digit rounds, and because it's a battle mini-game, you can reel in some serious coins with a victory.

That's about it. The tournament starts tonight with Mittens, Zach, Shaman, and the Wheel on the sticks. Let's go.
