Party Games

Gaming is definitely a main stream leisure activity now. I couldn’t believe it when I was invited to a fancy dress party with a ‘gaming’ theme. It’s not that I don’t get invited to parties… I am a geek but I am definitely a social geek.

The party was a huge success and everyone liked mine and my wife’s fancy dress costumes. We went as the king and queen of retro gaming, I donned the Super Mario costume and my good lady, after much convincing wore the Princess Peach costume. Thankfully my wife was not kidnapped whilst we were there like her digital counterpart so often is.

After 10pm it all got a bit blurry to be honest and some of the costumes I didn’t really get (some people were board games etc) but i’m not sure if this was due to alcohol or the fact that I get so little sleep nowadays due to having a baby who is a night owl.

Anyway, it was good to get out and get all dressed up…
