Buffalo Wild Wings Boredom Buster for Women

Last night, Mike and I were forced  willingly decided to go to Buffalo Wild Wings (aka Bdubs, Bw3's)  to watch last night's UFC fight on per-per-view. FUN right?
In all seriousness, I needed a distraction last night and Mike and I had a lot of fun hanging out with some friends and were glad we had a quasi-"date night".

As I prepared myself for a solid 3-4 hours of watching fight night, our friend Carolyn introduced me to the holy grail: the BWW personal game console.  It's like the little computers they have at some of the tables, but it's portable and you can take it to any table.  You just swipe your credit card to get some "credits" (and they're pretty reasonably priced I must say) and you have probably 40 or so games to play at your fingertips. Whoever decided to put these devices in a sports bar is a GENIUS.  I can only imagine how much more money they make on food and beer due to the fact that women who are dragged to the bar to watch sports have entertainment and don't start requesting to leave after 30 minutes.

After we ordered food, Carolyn's fiance (getting married in 6 days!) Josh and Mike went dutifully to get get our respective game consoles much like dads going to retrieve coloring books for their small children.  They placed them in front of us and we were good to go.

I was expecting to play games by myself for the next 3 hours, but surprisingly Mike got really into the games as well.  It keeps track of the highest scores and Mike and I set out to master "Secret Word".  You have to make words out of eight letters that you are given and figure out the "secret word" based on the letters they begin to give you.  We spent, like, 90% of our 75 credits playing this game repeatedly. At the end of the night, we finished out the highest player board with a 1st, 2nd, 4th and 9th place finish added to the board.

It turned out to be a really fun night, even though we're totally paying for the late night out today.  If we weren't started to prepare for our exams, at least we were still working our brains!

PS- i searched high and low for an online image of said console but couldn't find one. You'll have to go to your local b-dubs to check them out yourself!
