Mario Party Party: 8

“Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.” - Nietzsche

Mario is anime.

...Or if you prefer your anime Mario with a bit more appeal for DBZ fans like @vinny added to it:

They say that you must suffer for your art.
Well, there's plenty of suffering at least.

Wait is Jeff at 0:54:00 talking about Windsor Water Works?! That song was so damn catchy.

The bonus stars only became bullshit because they started randomly picking which ones they dish out at the end. They used to always be the Minigame Star, the Coin Star, and the Happening Star, which you could at least plan around. Now the 50 turns leading up to those stars were still bullshit, but man, seeing them be randomly determined on top of all that nonsense is infuriating.

Huh this seems like an actual decent Mario Party.

Watches the end......

Fuck all videogames.

I would love to see a them play a Mario Party without Dan after all this.

@pmurph03: I mean Dan deserves it. Even though he's playing it up a little, he's still laughing at their suffering.

@joker369: dude i saw your comment and assumed you meant something other than Dan winning........... you monster.

That would kinda defeat the point though. First, there would be no motivation to play it as the common goal is to beat Dan. Plus there's no actual rivalry between the remaining three, so it wouldn't be competitive.

There is a very real possibility that this game is a load of old arse.

Perfect ending to 50 turns.

What? No fill browser option on the new video player? I don't know about this.

Comparing Wario and Waluigi to Eminem and Stan was the best thing :)

Oh my god that ending

@danryckert I'm pretty sure for the sake of science and fairness, you need to do the equivalent of 50 turns in the next two games and tally the scores from there.

Damn, @drewbert's Captain Speirs quote from Band of Brothers really needs some more love.

This was great!

@saft: gotta press g on your keyboard to fill browser on the new player.

Flashback to playing this on a 4:3 tv where those blue bars on the side took up 2/3rds of the screen.

Holy shit right after the 4 hour mark, Jeff is the best.

The ending literally crushed my soul.

This all could have been prevented but for a couple of lapses in concentration by Brad and Drew. Even with his bs Stars; Jeff could have won. Except there are no winners at Mario Party. In this case the only true winning move is never to have bought a Nintendo Wii in the first place.

It's really dumb, but one thing that made me laugh extra hard during shake it up was the color of Brad's wiimote

Wow. Just... wow.

Oh wow, that Fortune Street actually looks like a good game, I really want to play it now.

Also, thank you for sharing the videos, that was my favorite era of Giant Bomb, that crew with a game like Mario Party but better than Mario Party was really an awesome feeling. There wasn't this shitty frustration, depression, and shit heel competition in it. It was just a good, awesome time, the way GB was and sometimes still is.

Apparently the host is called MC Ballyhoo and Big Top and yes he does look like a muppet. He looks like Dr. Teeth.

This "only pick the most normal boards" rule has really been a mistake.

what an ending. I can't believe it...

Just want to let everyone know, Chimp_Fipper_Jr is taken on Steam...by me >:|.

Also, that soda shaking section....we all have the minds of 10 year olds....I love it.

oh man. bahahahahha

@clintdriftwood: I love how confused Dan looked - that was a lengthy and committed reference!

@monkeyman04: Fantastic! Thanks for the tip!

For so long throughout I thought Jeff was in for a real chance, or at least Drew might prevent Dan from winning. Then Mario Party happened again.

Dan winning at Mario Party might actually be worse then Trump being elected president.

Normally I have no problems with Dan, he is actually a pretty funny guy. But when it comes to Mario Party, he is the biggest piece of shit ever.

How 'bout $0 since the end result is the same. You get no money because you are dead. Lava is molten rock and anything that is hot enough to melt rock will instantly burn through a human.

Just being wthin a radious of 10km(6miles) to the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius killed you instantly if you were hit by a pyroclastic flow(heat surge).

THIS. So much. What a cruel world.

is the pink toad a girl toad

@pj: I was initially assuming maybe a small amount of lava that destroys your mouth, esophagus, and stomach, putting you on IV nutrition for the rest of your life and maybe on a respirator too, but you are probably right that it would just kill you from inhaling superhot gases or something along those lines.

But I'm sure the next of kin could still use the money.

Well, I suppose that was the only reasonable way for this to end.

I had to stop watching at 3 hours when Dan's foot was in the frame and it was vibrating like a hummingbird.

He can't keep getting away with it!!

Jeffs face is my face every damn time I play one of these bullshit games.

"This is a good game."

Brad Shoemaker, on Mario Party 8.
