Cheating? I think not.


Sweetie, you are unequivocally, undeniably, and unbelievably full of shit.

Internet friends, allow me to enlighten you as to Lindsey’s definition of “cheating” at Trivial Pursuit.  Verbally commanding the game to provide me with a particular dice roll (and, interestingly enough, the game providing me with the requested dice roll more often than not) is the apex of my cheating ways.

I still stand undefeated at Xbox Trivial Pursuit.

Trivial Pursuit?


After jamming to Guitar Hero: World Tour and loving how my throat hurt after doing my best rendition of Pat Benetar’s “Heartbreaker,” the gang and I decided to put Trivial Pursuit in my XBOX.

I know some of you might be thinking that a board game played on a console must suck, and those thoughts would be correct. Chris was blatantly cheating, although he would say otherwise, and I kept getting frustrated at the “Sports & Leisure” category. The only saving grace for this game is that John Cleese is one of the category announcers. If he was not a part of the game, I think I would have wanted to vomit. Not only did we play it for over two hours and turned it off after getting bored, but we also consumed mass quantaties of junk food. We ate a rather large dinner only 4 hours ago so I have no idea where we put the snackies.

I highly doubt that I will be playing this game again anytime soon and I honestly can’t remember why in the hell I purchased it in the first place. Granted it was years ago, but still. My game collection is for quality only and while I won’t throw this one out due to it being hard to find, it will be the proud collector of dust and the guardian of better titles such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (which I have cracked out on over this weekend logging in about 26+ hours).

The night is still young, it is just Chris and I alone in the apartment now, and I think I might put KOTOR back in so that I can get my kicks off of HK-47.

About Marooners’ Rock

Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
