A Happy alternative
So I celebrated my birthday a week ago. Unfortunately the actual day landed on a Tuesday so I waited until the following weekend to party. Now usually my birthday celebrations involve a bunch of friends, a bar, too many drinks to count, and a lot of very bad choices.
Well this year I decided to do something different. I wanted to avoid the embarrassing moments, and subsequent hangover. Instead of going out, I invited a select group of friends over to my place. In place of a dance floor and bar. We had a living room and kitchen. Instead of a DJ we had my PS4. Sure there was still plenty of beer and wine in the fridge. The drinks were going to happen no matter what I decided. What really made this birthday special was the addition of a specific game.
That’s You
If you have a PS4 and haven’t played this yet? Then you are doing yourself a serious disservice. If you are a PS Plus member? Log into the PlayStation Store and download it now for free. Go ahead and do it now, I’ll wait….
Once you have the game loaded on your PS4. You will also need to download the companion App on your smartphone to play. The way the game is played is simple. The game asks the group of Players a question. Then each Player decides which one of them is the most appropriate answer. The game might ask you which one of you is always late? Then through the Application on your phone you select your answer. The more Players that agree with you. The more points you will receive. The Player with the most points at the end wins. There are also a few mini-games that include sketching with your fingers, or taking a selfie. They add additional elements to the game, but the real enjoyment is in the questions.
It might surprise you what some of your friends think about you. Of course it’s all in good fun. You won’t lose any friendships because of That’s You. Well at least I hope you wouldn’t. I’d be surprised if you aren’t laughing out loud by the third question. Up to six people can play at once. It makes for a very competitive game. Keep the number of Players in mind though if you plan on having a That’s You party.
The game had me so enthralled that even though my fridge was full of beer. I woke up the next day, and for the first time in about as long as I can remember. I wasn’t severely hungover the day after my birthday. I was so focused on the game that I forgot to drink. That’s all the proof you need to know that it’s a great game.
