Sorry I Mentioned It

You should know that at the mere mention of Mario Party, be it the Eighth Version or any other entry, Gabriel begins to curse and sweat. He is philosophically opposed to what he perceives as the series' communist ideals: between the game's aggressively random nature and its deep-seated compulsion to reward mediocrity, he hardly feels like he's playing a "game" at all. Rather, he feels as though he is flipping a coin via some elaborate, unaccountable mechanism - a single coin that takes an hour to flip.
If you've ever played any of the eight versions of Mario Party, you might find the related Penny Arcade comic funny. If you've played it a lot, you'll probably find it hilarious.
