Another Game

Here's another fun game to play at a party (and again, by at a party I mean with your brother). This one's a little more inclusive than Nicolas Cage Off. It's 20 Questions: TV Character Edition.
It's exactly what it sounds like. 20 Questions, but your picks have to be characters from television shows. We've only played this a couple times, but so far it's been weird and wacky. Some of my picks have been Kimmie Gibler from Full House and D.W. from Arthur. Some of Alex's picks have included Luke's sister from Gilmore Girls (surprisingly hard to figure out) and Baby Sinclair from Dinosaurs (surprisingly easy to figure out). Some good questions to ask when you're trying to figure out a name include: What decade was the show from? Is it animated? Is the character in high school? And a great question to start with is always "Is it Roseanne?" You never know. It might be Roseanne, and it's just good to get that out of the way.
This game is best played between people who have roughly the same television frame of reference. For example, someone you grew up in the same house with, maybe.

Game

Here is a fun game to play at a party (by "party" I mean when you're hanging out with your brother). It's called Nicolas Cage Off.
The rules are pretty simple. You alternate naming Nicolas Cage movies until one of you runs out of titles. The last one to say a Nicolas Cage movie wins. For example! If Alex were to challenge me to a Nicolas Cage Off, I would accept. One of the rules of the game is that you always have to accept. Then I would name a Nicolas Cage movie. "Moonstruck," I would say. Alex would counter with another Nicolas Cage movie. "Matchstick Men," he would say. And so on and so forth until I can't think of anymore Nicolas Cage movies and Alex wins.
The last time we played this game was two or three years ago. I've been doing my research, waiting for the right time to pounce.
Oh yeah: this game isn't any fun to play with people who don't know that much about Nicolas Cage. Sorry.
