Another awesome Tuesday night for MGL at Division Ale House. We had 6 fantastic teams as well! They varied from 12, 10, 5, 4, 3, and 2 person teams. Here were the lovely teams that graced us with their presence: The Too’s, Chocolate Bacon, Grandma Has a Boyfriend?, Bromance Tower, Ultimate #2, and Command Center.

Round 1 brought us to the game Finish Lines It was a supremely close round. There were ties all over the place, but it came down to a tie between Grandma Has a Boyfriend?, and Bromance Tower. Of course we had to go to our tie breaker question. Amazingly enough, Bromance Tower had the EXACT number for our answer and won round 1 along with some PBR cans.

For Round 2 we played the game Go Mental! Our teams were really geared up for playing this game and they seriously used their style points to their advantage; drawing awesome pictures of the back of their answer sheets. Yet again, we had a pretty close round, and AGAIN had a tie but this time between Ultimate #2 and The Too’s. And AGAIN our winner of the tie breaker, Ultimate #2, answered with the EXACT answer. We had some pretty brainy players. So Ultimate #2 won round 2 and won some infused vodka shots. Yum!

Our BBQ went to The Too’s! Well done guys!

Round 3 was full of even more style points and ample pictures again. Our game was Making The List a MGL original. We had three teams that were going neck and neck, but thanks to the style points Grandma Has a Boyfriend? took the cheese AND a free appetizer for their next visit. They are sure to use that this coming Tuesday in hopes to win another awesome prize.

Our final score winners were The Too’s! They definitely got the gist of the use of style points and won by only half a point!

These Tuesday’s are getting better and better!

Until next time, this is Alexis

Another great night at Bar Louie on Monday!

In round 1 we played Finish Lines and had some very interesting quotes for style points!  It was close between teams SCDP, Bob’s a Douche, Burnet the House Down, and Beauty and the Beast but it was Boss of the Plains that won the round by using their email bonus!

Round 2 was Go Mental where again our teams were super close! Emifred and The Winners tried catching up to Lemurs but with no luck giving them the win!

Round 3 was a little game we like to call Making the List.  BL Crew and JTT were handing in come crazy answers and Lemurs was making a run for it… Boss of the Plains should have changed their name to Boss of the round because they KILLED it nailing several of the high point questions for maximum points!  It was also enough to push them ahead to win the night!!

Thank you all for coming out! There WILL be a game on Monday (labor day) for those of you who were asking!

It was a record for MGL at Division Ale House Tuesday. Only starting 15 minutes late, we had 11 teams! 11!!! Our brilliant teams were: Team Schwartz, Team Kenny, Team Awesome, Bacon Fire, Meetup, We Want Tasty Prizes, Birthday Suit, The Team of Lost Souls, Butch’s Bitches, My Mom, and Grenade to Landmine Free Zone.

The night was a hit! We started out with the game Urban Myth. Our teams were asked questions of differing categories and had to decide whether the statement/question was true or a myth (false). It was a VERY close game. However Meetup happened to win by two points over Team Kenny and won some snazzy Division Ale House t-shirts.

We continued on to Round 2 with the game Categorically Speaking. This round was mighty feisty! All our teams were on edge and ready to win some prizes and seriously used their style points. We even had a sneak attack BBQ while the answers for question 6 were being scored. Team Awesome was the winner of a tasty round of PBR. Birthday Suit won PBR for winning Round 2 after a tie-breaker with Grenade to Landmine Free Zone but Grenade won the actual BBQ in the game and got a sweet round of draft beers!

We ended the night with the classic game Family Feud. Style points were awarded throughout this game, and it definitely paid off! This round was seriously close, but Meetup was the winner and gained some shots. After going through the overall score Birthday Suit won! It was all the better that it was one of the team member’s birthdays so EVERYONE sang “Happy Birthday” to him!

What a great crowd, and a great night! This week gets the cake!

Until next week, this is Alexis

Another great week at Bar Louie as we beat the heat with some cooooooool trivia!!

In round 1 we played Urban Myth.  Great Gatsby and The Big O placed high but it was Suck It Dry that scored a perfect round and won some drinks!

Categorically Speaking was our round 2 game.  I love this game because I get such unique answers…. Yes, I guess a jock strap could be considered a container… of sorts…. ish….. The Squirrels were racing towards the finish with high points along with Space Shuttle but once again it was Suck It Dry that took the win.

Family Feud was last and well worth the wait! Will Never Lose joined in and gave We Are Fun 2 Us some steep competition.  The Big O pulled ahead at the last minute and took the win for the round!

Overall winners by a long shot was Suck It Dry!

Thanks to everyone for coming out! I’ll see you all next week, same bat time, same bat place!

I had an awesome time subbing this week at Old C’s!! I got to see a lot of old faces that I had been missing!!

In round 1 our game was Mad Gab.  It was great with almost all the teams tied for first except for Longhorn and Yes That who took down the round by  using her email bonus!!

In round 2 we played WordUp which brought out the competitive… and creative… sides of our teams!  buck Forty Five and Tyler Stinks were playing for keeps but it was You Can’t Postpone the Destiny and SAAD that battled it out for first with YCPTD taking the win.

Our BBQ was won by I Need More Cowbell!

I got a little nervous as we played Start2Finish for round 3.  All of our teams were doing so well that I thought we were going to have to go to sudden death!  Action Jackson, Lemurs, Shoe and Yes That were all in the running but turning in a last second email bonus answer was I Need More Cowbell which put them over the top by a half of a point!

Overall for the night Yes That took first!

Thank you all for coming out! I was great to see you all!

Bar Louie was packed this week as we gave away more movie tickets for the summer of swag!!

Round 1 started off with Mad Gab where everyone tied for first except Jethro-Eri, Stars and Moon, and NeRB. Winning the tie break was Sunzilla.

Word Up was the game for round 2 and it was a good race.  High Five Kat!, Jen-Lo, and Butter’s Bottom came close but it was Sunzilla who won the round again!

Finally in round 3 we finished off with Start 2 Finish.  Jamestic was fighting off teams DJ, Kish and J&J Take over the world, but sneaking into first place in the round was Twisted Turbans.

Our overall winners for the night were Jen-Lo by one point!

Thanks to everyone for coming out! I’ll see you all next week, same bat time, same bat place.

The Roasters

The Jell-O Shooters

Team Double J

The BJ's (short for Brian Joseph)

Team TBA

Team Distinguished

It was a rocking good time out in The Spot In Golden last night for some hot brain-on-brain action with Mind Games Live.  For our first round (the appetizer) we had some Wuzzles.  Team Bartender was busy doing his job (bar-tending) but did manage to get five points.  Ahead of him were the Roasters, and then Skoolin’ U.  Team TBA and Distinguished managed to tie for third place with 8 points.  The BJ’s grabbed second with an impressive 8 1/2, but it was the crafty group of Jell-O Shooters who took the round with a perfect score.

For the entree round we had a dish of Famous Name Us.  A couple of new teams joined us late in the round: Suck It, Trebek and Team Double J.  Both answering the three questions they arrived for correctly.  The Roasters continued to rack up points, coming in third.  The BJ’s and Distinguished tied for second with fifteen points apiece, while Skoolin’ U and The Jell-O Shooters managed to share the top scores with just one more point.  These close scores are why it’s important to remember your e-mail extra!  A Play-Off ensued and Skoolin’ U managed to win the free pitcher by guessing closest to the right percentage of Caucasians in America.

Time for a Bonus Beer Question, and Dylan from Team Distinguished managed to get himself a little extra something to drink.

Four dessert we finished off with a course of Out Of Odrer, I mean Out Of Order.  Suck It Trebek got a lucky thirteen points this round.  The BJ’s coming up after them.  With 25, 26, and 27 points respectively were Skoolin’ U, The Jell-O Shooters and Team Distinguished.  But making up for the lost time were last round’s late arrivals Team Double J taking the round with 30 points.

The full three courses of MGL feasting over it was time to tally up the scores and see who won.  Once again, it all came down to one point with the Jell-O Shooters edging out Team Distinguished 51 to 50.  Don’t forget to bring in that Email Extra, folks!  And I will see you all again at the Spot real soon.

Just a reminder– next week Bar Louie has an AMC movie package to give away to celebrate the Summer of Swag!!

Another great week at Bar Louie!

Round one’s game was Wuzzles (say that 3 times fast!!)  Chipettes and Thundercats Ho! both were hot on the trail for first but with a perfect score PLUS the email bonus was Dainty Deerstalkers.

Famous Name Us was our game for round 2 as we welcomed What Would Tim Tebo Do? to the game.  My answer to that question would be… get a goofy haircut from his team mates but no one asked me!! Once again it was super close but Dainty Deerstalkers pushed ahead of The Know It Ballers at the last minute to win again!

This was the first time that I had played Out of Odrer <sic> and I think it’s an awesome game and so did our teams who were neck and neck all the way to the end!  WWTTD won by just one point!! Overall, since he missed the first round, he didn’t come in first overall… it was Dainty Deerstalkers who took the big win!

Thank you all for coming out!! I’ll see you all next week, same bat time, same bat place!

Wearing a target on your chest in a bar is, ummm, questionable.

Ramrod - Two heads are better than one

2 Guys & A Girl - how'd she get neon things in her hair?

BR - tonight that stands for Beat the Rest

Green Chitlyns and Harmony

Cannons - loose? I don't know

It's My Birthday - working on her bday drink

Butterflys and Unicorns - and rainbows and flowers and...

You would think we’ve been playing here forever.  Tons of teams and some good old fashioned rivalry were brewin’ and making for a great time.  Maybe it was because we had the Cinemark gift card  to add to the mix.

The teams tonight that were knockin’ back beers and knockin’ down the answers were: 2 Guys and a Girl, Ramrod, But-or-fly, BR, Praise Be To Tebow, Unicorns, SSM, BJ’s, It’s My Birthday, Green Chitlyns, Delta Awesomeness, and Cannons.

Round 1 and Tribond got things started.  The last few questions separated the pack, but it still came down to a 4-way tie.  But after the tie-break, Unicorns was standing at the top, beating out But-or-fly, BR and Praise B2 Tebow.

Round 2 was Don’t Quote Me and saw a few new teams in the mix.  And scores were all across the board but the use of the Email Extra pulled BR to the forefront. Just what he needed to edge out Unicorns and SSM.

For the BBQ, Jerry from But-or-fly was just 2 off.  Nice one!

So for round 3 was WordSweep and a chance to score up to 3 points each question.  So teams were bringing it. And each round the number of teams grew – from 8 to 9 to 10.  And it was a heartbreaker when a handful of teams raced in their answer for the last question but wrote down GIFT instead of GIVE (which matters in this game of sequential words!)  So BR edged out Delta Awesomeness by 1/2 point.  Arrgghh!  And close on their heels was 2 Guys and a Girl, But-or-fly, Praise B2 Tebow, and Unicorns.

So it was no surprise that the one man juggernaut, BR, took top points and most of the swag for the evening.  Next week will be a grudge match I’m sure.  Bring it!

Till next week then.

Ciao for now,

Bar Louie was hopping this week and we had fierce competition all night… but don’t let me catch you guys cheating any more!!

We started with the game Tribond for round 1 where everyone did really well!! 1554, Duane and 26 Candles were right at the top but it was TLD and Custodian Helmets that battled it out for first place with a tie breaker! TLD took down round 1 and won some free drinks!

Round 2’s game was Don’t Quote Me.  Everyone showed some impressive skills with this round! Adam & Sara were trying to take down Kirk & Spocks but fell just short letting them take the round down.

Round 3 was my first time playing the game Word Sweep and I have to admit, it was a pretty fun one!  The Toothers were trying to make a run for that prize as were Kirk & Spocks, TLD, and 1554. In the end it was Custodian Helmets who thundered through the round AND with their bonus email question they dominated not only the last round but took overall first place as well!!

Thanks to everyone for coming out! See you next week… same bat time, same bat place!
