Last night was my night to choose what activity we would do for date night. My choice? Gamecube.

The titles are not offensive to my wife's sensibilities. We played Super Monkey Ball, Puyo Pop Fever, but passed on Super Mario Strikers. Out of all of them, my wife loved Monkey Ball. She did really well, and enjoyed the diversity of the mini games.

As the night wore on and my Lumines skills made Puyo Pop daunting for her, we closed with a bang. She rocked me in the last match! I was surprised, shocked even. Without the fever option on, she really narrowed the playing field, particularly since I didn't have very much trash to send back to her, and no unholy perfect fever chains to drop on her.

For me, I chocked it up as a success.
