Look Who's Back!
Indeed, Jesse Paulson made a triumphant return after the Sounders game by sneaking the green space star to become the Mario Party Champion!

Unusual event... Seemingly usual finish.
Yes, indeed, Jesse, John and I were able to complete another Mario Party event this past weekend. With Amy out of town, JaceMan down & out and a Paulson mother-in-law in town, the gents were able to convene for another bout with the computer -- this time doing everything possible to ensure we didn't have to take a shaming photo of the threesome.
This shameful photo did NOT occur! JW took top honors with eight (8) stars to not eight (8) stars by the other contestants. Well done, John Weaver! Yet another win... a seemlinly consistent finish!
Side note: one knows it has been a while when Jesse Paulson forgets what the games are!

Bizarro World
There is definitely something wrong in the world. First, Johnny Weaver beat me at Pokey Pummel -- a game I have NEVER lost in our years of Mario Party. Second, for Guys Night, we lost to a female character... played by the computer!
What is up with THAT?!
What is up with THAT?!

Merry Christmas, John!
The Weavers were over to celebrate Christmas over this past weekend. In so doing, of course, we had a full evening to enjoy a Mario (Christmas) Party!
John proved to be a good boy in Game One as we ventured through Windmill Central (and learned that 10 rounds is just not enough; rule change implemented: 15 rolls through the Netherlands!). John scored the path to the three-star windwill and took the game with six stars.
Game Two was an entirely different story. And yes, John won. But this had nothing to do with JW's actions this year! In fact, the match game down to this. If Amy's character OR if the computer won the final star, she would have been champ. Had Todd won the final star, he would have been champ. Same, had JW won, he would have taken the match.
That bloody final star... turns out it was the shopping star. JW and I TIED in what we spent during the round so it came down to coins. JW: 4. TM: 0. ARRRRRRRGHHHHHH!

Mario Party Revisited!
In spite of JW and Amy now being married and Mario Parties seemlingly ending as we know it, we forged ahead in the face of this dry spell and played Mario Party last night! Once again, JW dominated. While TM dominated Game One, random bonus stars put JW on top of the Tower of Mario Party Power:
In a desire to have a rematch, Amy and Todd decided to take JW on again, this time in the Dutch world of bidding on windmills.
JW kicked even more Mario Party butt in the second match, garnering six (6) stars by bidding only -- not even to mention bonus stars! The rest of the competitors won three, three and one star, respectively -- before bonus stars were even awarded.
Interestingly, for the first time we saw a bonus star awarded to NO ONE! Literally, not one competitor landed on the Green Question Mark space, yet the system chose that as a bonus star. With that, not one player could have gotten all three stars even to tie JW and he walked away with the second win of the night.
Final Tally:
JW - 2
AW - 0
TM - 0
Good times altogether. And we finally Mario Partied after so much time!

Surprise Party!
Jesse Paulson made a surprise visit to my place for some hang out time -- and for Mario Party! Unfortunately, Boo enjoyed the spoils of victory, but we bested him with some serious bonding time nonetheless!
