And now a moment of inevitability: a video game version of beer pong, creatively titled Beer Pong, is coming to the Wii. I must say I’m quite intrigued, but equally doubtful. Look, if there are two things in this world that I love, it’s beer pong and Wii. But together? Seems kind of dubious. After all, isn’t half the fun of beer pong… the beer? Yes, throwing balls at cups can be enjoyable, but without booze, it might get tiresome after ten minutes.
Then again, I guess it is possible to drink and play Wii Beer Pong at the same time. The only difference is that you won’t have to go chasing after the ball every two seconds. Hmmm… this might not be so bad after all.
Of course, we Dartmouth kids have a whole different (cough, better, cough) conception of beer pong. One that involves paddles and highly involved rules. But that’s a discussion for another time and place…
