If you're a fan of Replay, you're probably familiar with the difficulty I've encountered when trying to get my co-workers to play Mario Party with me (although I succeeded twice). When Mario Party 9 released earlier this month, I tried to rally some folks to play it with me for a video on the site. I was met with the usual resistance, so I decided to turn to someone with no lack of enthusiasm for partying.

Watch below to see the world's foremost party expert join Tim Turi, Andrew Reiner, and myself as we play the newest entry in the long-running series.

If you enjoyed this video, you might also want to see that time GWAR came to GI to play Dance Central.

I'm glad the wardrobe is color coded so I can differentiate Andrew WK easily from GI Editors.

How do you guys get these people to come play stuff with you? Like Justin Pierre and GWAR and now this guy. Seriously what connections do you have?
