come to the conclusion that the reason my friends and I have so much fun playing games together (of the board as well as video variety) is that we are all, at heart, bad people. I mean, is there any greater pleasure in life than watching your closest friend take one (or three, or six) for the team?
But I guess we’re not the only ones. According to Penny Arcade’s Tycho, XBox Live Arcade is launching an online version of Uno. That’s right, Uno:
Games of skill and chance can bring a person’s inner bastard to the fore, but I know of no other game that can turn a person into a complete fucker in the way that Uno does.
Preach on, brother. We—my friends and I—have all turned into horrible people because of Uno. Well, more horrible, at any rate. In addition to adding unlimited draw-four chaining and requiring that you draw sixteen for forgetting to say Uno, we have instituted a Draw Four for Gross Stupidity rule, wherein you can get penalized outside the game for, you guessed it, doing something stupid. And your tally goes into effect at the beginning of the next game. Permit me an evil cackle here: heh heh heh.
At last count, Jieun was in first place for outside of game, er, winnings, most of them for erroneous Draw Four finings. That’s right. You also draw four for incorrectly fining someone else. Neener.

Again. Draw four for erroneous fining of a Draw Four. Some people never learn. Sigh.
