Would You Rather?

When we’re feeling introspective, we’ll lay on the grass at night and look up at the stars. In those moments, we’ll ask ourselves the important questions. Are we alone in the universe? Why are we here? Whose breath is worse—Bowser or Dracula? Or, to make the question less open ended, would you rather have Bowser blow into your face for three minutes straight or give Dracula CPR for five? Don’t be too quick to answer. Roll it around in your mind for a while. And when you’re done, check out our series of “Would you rather?” situations.

To get the conversation started, we’re posing a list of critically important scenarios. When given the choice between two theoretical scenarios, which one do you pick? When you've thought out your answers, hit up our comments section to explain your reasoning. We've created sections for each question to keep these important discussions focused. Otherwise, feel free to create your own game-related dilemmas.

#1: Eat a spoiled pot roast found in the walls of Dracula’s castle OR live in an inverted version of your home forever?

#2: Have Ethan Mars babysit your child for one week OR perform a quicktime event every time you drink a beverage?

#3: Have to play Rock Band on expert to listen to any song ever OR have Guitar Hero: Aerosmith be your life’s soundtrack?

#4: Kiss Nemesis on the mouth OR have a 24-hour staring contest with William Birkin’s shoulder-eye?
