The Pub at Golden Road is a full-service, family-friendly environment located just a stone’s throw from Griffith Park in Atwater Village. Open 7 days a week, The Pub offers ample indoor and outdoor seating, over a dozen Golden Road beers on tap, and games for the young (and young at heart).
A: You bet your Infinity Stone we did!
The VIBE:
Four teams set their DVR's. Four teams came ready to play. The rest of the bar was pretty quiet....which means I had no choice but to blare my carefully cultivated mix of Nintendo scores! Seriously, you have not fully cried until you've heard The Legend of Zelda as performed by a LIVE orchestra.
A Link* you say? Oh, I thought you'd never ask --> Zelda Theme
The GAME:
Round 1 was smooth sailing for every team except Highway Stars (disguised with a theme name of Part of the Journey Is The End) who went hard early ...and missed the double-up. Luckily though, they were a registered team. So by the power vested in me, I thereby granted them 2 points.
(You too can register your team on this webpage!)
In Round 2/Pictures, everyone did fairly well, especially Team Nara who kept adding to their lead with a total of 20 points ...
It was all about Girl Power for Round 3 - and although not a tough round for the teams - I was particularly proud of myself for finally knowing one of the answers. Ahem, Samus. She's kind of hot too.
Rounds 4 & The Drinking Round were my favorite of the night because I timed them both to Super Mario Bros. scores! I had each team participate in my favorite "waiting for the dentist activity"....Find the Differences! (It was such a hit that I'm going to post it in the pictures above. If you want to check your answers, you'll have to track me down I guess. Ha)
In the last two rounds, we saw two teams back-to-back go for the double-up and miss! Crazy stuff.
Let's see how it all played out...
The RESULTS:
Golden Toad (35 points) were a couple of tough dudes who could never quite catch up to the others. I kept hoping one of them would just jump and hit that brick over their heads and grab an Invincible Star...but alas.
Delete My Bowser History probably could have taken 2nd place had they not missed a crucial double-up in Round 7. They did, however, play a very solid game and earned 42 points.
Highway Stars ( theme name disguised as Part of the Journey Is The End) (51 points) had a crazy zero point Round 6 and then a perfect double-up for 20 points in the final round....securing their spot for 2nd place.
But it was Team Nara that NEVER trailed since Round 1....bringing home 62 points. I officially declared them champions and handed them The Invisible Golden Mushroom Cup Mario Super Star Life Force Thingy award!!
Shout out to Quizmaster Karen and Golden Road Brewery for having me guest host.
It was a nice trip down childhood memory lane!
