Dear Ellen,
Wouldn’t it be funny if, in a galaxy far, far away there is still the classic sheriff mustache?

Acknowledge to the person the surprise is for that you are doing something for them … So that they don’t go off and plan their own thing in a fit of, “but what about meeee?!”
Don’t tell your friend who can’t keep a secret til the day before. If that friend is someone who is busy, invite him or her to some fictional activity that is the same time as the actual event.
First and foremost – remember that the party is for … well, whoever it’s for. It’s not for you. Plan for their tastes, not yours!
Don’t email the spouse of the person the party is for, in case the recipient of the surprise party happens to have access to the emails of the spouse (sure, this seems specific – but it happens)
Anywho, see you in a few days for your non surprise party, Mom.
1. Playing a First Person Shooter (FPS) game online
Curse word every 25 seconds
You spawn and then get crushed by someone much better than you after you made the mistake of I don’t know … having signed into the game at all, I guess
2. Playing a sports game against the PC
Curse word every 4 minutes
You’ll do moderately well, then get too aggressive, and boom, the anger strikes
It is amazing, in a bad way (as in how old am I emotionally?) how angry I get when I am running at the opposing team’s quarterback and fly right by him … missing a golden opportunity
3. Playing Dark Souls or WoW
Curse tirade every 15 minutes
I never played WoW so this is a guess … But you do a lot of repetitive things, fighting guys you’ve already fought so you can handle them … Then here we go boss time and the curse words rain down
This one is maybe at the same level as a sports game because when the cursing DOES happen, it happens with gusto
This is similar to old NES or SNES games where you would get stuck on a level. You’d have to repeat all the same motions over and over til you got to that one part and … oh you’ve got to be kidding me I TOTALLY HIT THE JUMP BUTTON!!!
4. Playing a First Person Shooter in the story mode
Curse every 30 minutes
It doesn’t really matter, it seems like a lot of video games re-spawn you all the time so you just run back in guns a-blazing and enjoy knowing that it’s not some 12 year old punk crushing you. Or any age punk, because it’s an artificial intelligence.
5. Playing a game on your phone
Cursing … never?
I don’t know what it is, but if I lose at a game on my phone it doesn’t matter. Does the size of the screen keep me from getting frustrated? Is it that they are tiny little characters? Who knows, but keep up the good work non-anger-inducing phone games!
