(Not So) Happy New Year!

Well, the good news is that 2010 is now behind us... and it marks the last time EVER we will let the computer beat us at Mario Party!

Yes, it happened last night as we celebrated New Year's Eve with a start at St.Andrews, complete with three rounds of Barnyard, and ended with Mario Party at Salon Moore!

In the spirit of new beginnings and closure to all things past, well done computer. 2011 won't be your year!

Bringin' (Mario) Party Back! YEAH!

The Party's Back! And so too is Todd Moore as SuperStar!

Amy, John, Jesse, Todd and The Captain enjoyed an impromptu Mario Party after Salon Moore closed last night and Todd emerged victorious with a whopping 11 stars (out of 20 on the board)! Granted, he got two bonus stars (awarded to everyone, in truth), but 13 > 10 (Jesse) so Todd won!

Not going to lie, the best part of the entire party was the amazing 'Picture This' finale where Amy raced to a 2-0-0-0 lead, but the boys stormed back to force sudden death at 2-2-2-2. It was frantic and dramatic and loud and Copper was confused and Jesse found the pink car passing the blue car to take the final Mini Game -- as well as the Mini Game Champion title altogether. Well done, JP!

After a Long Break...

We returned to Mario Party action on fine Saturday evening. Not hurt by the break, John whipped up on Jesse and I (and the computer) to take the first championship in some time! Well done, JW!

Vacation Champion!

We enjoyed a rousing 34,000' adventure on our way to Orlando for our DisneyWorld Christmas/New Year extravaganza. In our one and only, winner-take-all, tete-a-tete-a-tete Mario Party, Amy Weaver emerged as the MP Champ! Congrats Amy!

Long Time Coming!

It's been a long time coming -- a Mario Party Blog Update! And a Todd Moore win! Double WOO HOO!

Indeed, John, Amy and I were finally able to get a great game of MP in and Todd emerged the victor! It was a tough race, however, and Amy was in it until the Bonus Star awards which pushed Todd over top! Next time, JW. Next time! (Or not.)

It's been months, but...

We have another Mario Party Winner! After a rousing SpaceShip round, Todd and Amy bubbled to the top of the Mario Party heap with four stars each after two bonus stars. However, with a few extra coins, Todd emerged victorious in our first MP in months!

New MP'er, Copper, also got in on the action and had a GREAT time! So excited that she peed twice in the house, in fact! (Yay! Boo.)

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!
