What are your stories? I'm sad I haven't had such parties for a long time, and a lack of PC games with co-op doesn't help it too. But I still treasure these times me and my friends wasted whole nights playing high on cola and doritos, and I wonder if me, now an adult, can reproduce a bit of that with my current non-playing friends, their spouses, children, etc. Just a general nostalgia and 'what-to-play-now' thread.


I unintentionally deleted the original post, sorry.

Kids: you were lied to when you were told the internet was the best way to play with people. These are memories I'll cherish forever

My friend duct taped my other friend's hand to a PVC pipe when they passed out on a couch. They woke up, yanked their arm, breaking the pipe and causing water to spray everywhere. It was quite the mess.

A different time we snooped on a friend's computer to find his porn stash and found horse porn and brutally mocked him.
