Flash Dance

Just about the best game ever. And last night, that, was how we spent our time at small group, which ran a marathon 4 hours. To be fair, most of it was spent talking, shocking each other, and decorating cakes, but we did mention Jesus and pray, too, thus making it a legit small group gathering. The game is so simple it's a wonder why no one has thought of it sooner: four players gather around, each holding a controller, and waiting for a green light to flash. When it does, the last person to press the controller gets an electric shock (can be set from low, medium, to high). I didn't even know that was legal. The music is painful, as is the suspense, and the shock tingles or numbs depending on setting and how many times you've been shocked. Just ask Hannah. She'll tell you all about it. Oh, my eyes have been opened. I cannot wait to try out the Extreme version when I go home. Somebody buy me an early Christmas/birthday present, please. Last night, as the game was being unwrapped (it was Andy's birthday. This month. I gave him a toy car that cost 10p and Kaz showed me up by buying the best present ever- batteries included!), all the girls shrieked as Alan tried to act stoic and not scared. He said something about speedy video game fingers, but he got shocked a few times, too. Beat that, nerds. What was most fun, however, has got to be the cheating, with Hannah blindfolding Andy so that I would automatically win. And then messing with circuits and holding hands to figure out who would get shocked. I don't konw why I kept volunteering to see how circuits complete. I was a bit fried by the end of the night, but it was freaking awesome. Did I just write a senseless rant about a toy? I think I did. But seriously, have you played this game?
