Diamond Dave and I have one really bad habit amidst an otherwise great friendship:  we play Super Mario Brothers Wii together.

For most people, playing SMBWii would be an enjoyable experience.  Talking, laughing, sharing a few beers while killing goombas.  Classic American fun!  Except for the fact that Diamond Dave turns into a giant asshole as soon as the Wii flips on.  He hogs the fire flowers and penguin suits, he zips across the screen so fast that I frequently die, and he never lets me use our power-ups before we start a level.  Instead, he hordes the power-ups as if they will be of irreplaceable value to us in the future (you know, like a digital invincibility star is really going to come in handy for the End of Days).  Whenever we are unsuccessful in getting through a level, he becomes hypercritical of my gameplay and attributes no fault to himself.  And when we conquer a castle, he won't even let me grab the trophy key.

Playing Super Mario Brothers Wii with Diamond Dave is really unpleasant.  How unpleasant you ask?  It's more unpleasant than:

-fan fiction
-hernia checks
-Kid Shay when somebody else accidentally uses his Garfield mug
-Adam Dunn's hitting approach
-Gary Cherone's career
-Kirk Cameron's Left Behind movies
-Eric Cantor's politics
-Sissy Jupe's early education
-bees
-burning diarrhea
-belated birthday wishes
-benzodiazepine withdrawal
-brown belts with black shoes
-being a 15 year old dude waiting to see if you'll be asked to turn-about
-using the phrase "I'm going to see Dave" to mean that you are going to a Dave Matthews Band concert
-going to a Dave Matthews Band concert
-being stuck on the El with people who are going to a  Dave Matthews Band concert
-being on the observation deck of a riverboat when the Dave Matthews bus drives over a bridge
-ebola

Playing Super Mario Brothers Wii with Diamond Dave blows.  Otherwise, it's a pretty fun game and you should try it.
