At least you made some choices in the Game of Life.... Apparently, it's been ruined since my childhood? Someone was telling me you're most successful in the current game if you don't go to college and become a rock star or some shit.

Like you're subconsciously being blamed for what's just luck of the draw.
Isn't that essentially the basis of Catholicism?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. Loved all those.
AND I had capitalist propaganda games like my favorite "Game of the States" which had something to do with the local manufacturing resources of each state and trucks transporting goods across state lines for sale. I don't really remember. But I loved that game. Bet I still have it.
And I loved Risk right up until the point when I decided that I was a pacifist and opposed war games that glorified military conflict. Yeah, I was that kind of kid. I must have been so insufferable.

Oh, the Game of Life was good times. We also played Monopoly and Sorry! and Trouble and Clue and Head of the Class and a lot of Uno. We looooved Uno.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Did Helen Thomas just wake up and say to herself, "Fuck it. I'm old and I'm gonna say some outrageous shit today."?

I have no idea. I was raised by Canadian atheists.

Careers was great because you got to pick your winning goal by deciding on the distribution of victory points (fame, happiness and money) and then play accordingly. I shudder to think what they did to that one.
ETA: Head of the Class was a good one too.
