Video Game Birthday Party (for a 29 year old..?)

[Rurouni_Fencer]

Looks like fun. I can only think of the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese's that would add to that. Well, add in a few strippers too and that would be better too.

BTW, what's up with pointing the drum stick at your friend's junk??

We actually DID compare the whole thing to partying at Chuck E. Cheeses with booze and ball pits..
And that's actually me in the pic with the Bowser head and my buddy with the drum stick.. He's one of those guys that have made it a mission to make every captured photo of him as goofy and/or controversial as possible.. Needless to say - Mission Accomplished.

Thanks for all the kind birthday wishes, and awesome stories of similar get togethers.. Glad to hear we all chill with our inner children once in awhile!

For some reason, I never saw this topic back in Sept 2010. I guess that's the only good thing about the spambot Nimble bumping this topic.

Happy belated birthday from another RU grad.

you guys are all lucky

My parents dislike the idea of video games, but they didnt shun me from it.
Because of this i never had a video game theme party such as, being held at arcade, or just gaming theme in general.

But i guess i cant complain because i usually got a new video game console for my birthday.

Most memorable was the original playstation , just the system and no games.
But boy i was the happiest kid on the block that day. Went to blockbuster afterward rented resident evil not even knowing a thing about it beside the info on the box.

My 12 yo son wants a video game Birthday Party..he's invited 8 boys, 2 playstations, food and fun hopefully. Any ideas on what else I, the Mom can do to make it more fun?

Make a trip to the video store and rent some games
