Best Game Ever

If I ran a game store I would like to play the song Best Game Ever by Mikey Mason, but it's NSFW.

It doesn't take long after someone starts role-playing for them to start recounting their favorite characters and battles and campaigns. And it doesn't take long after someone starts recounting for everyone else to realize they had to be there to really enjoy it. Mikey Mason has brought to song one of the best nights in gaming that he can recall. The party succeeded with many mighty deeds but what really capped it is that the guy in the group that irritates everyone kept getting slammed in comical fashion. For the song, Best Game Ever, you don't need to have been there to enjoy it - all you need to do is tune in and maybe sing along.

Mikey Mason likes playing his electric guitar loudly and singing loudly and, generally, making loud, gaming music. In Best Game Ever he yields to the verses, with the volume and emotion of his vocal matching the mood of the memory he's describing. The song starts with a calm retelling of the game, but as he enjoys himself more the vocals really start coming from his gut. It comes across like a gamer getting excited and losing it a little bit. Mikey states on the song's Bandcamp page that his inspiration for this song is the song Tonight by Cossbysweater (a.k.a. Allie Goertz), which is another song about role-playing but is radically different from Best Game Ever in tone and sound. I don't know what he heard to birth this song from that one. Tonight is a song I'll cover some other time on X Marks the Beat.

Best Game Ever is from Mikey Mason's 2012 album, Barbarian Jetpack. He released the song on The FuMP in 2013, as well.

Best Game Ever lyrics

It was the best game ever
The traps and riddles were so clever
Hardly any of our party even died
Except for George, but he deserved it
He kept doing really dumb shit
When we split his magic items up, I swear to God he almost cried
And when he came back in the game with his new gnome thief mage assassin
We took all his gear again and sold him as a slave

Best game ever

It was the best game ever
I took his set of plus four leather
Then we hopped aboard the plot train, let it take us for a ride
But then George came back
And this time he was a druid
Who refused to leave the forest but always tried to start a fight
And that's exactly what he did with this poor farmer on the outskirts
Of a town who turned out to be a god in disguise

Best game ever
'Cause George's druid's head got severed
Then he came back in the game
While we were going through this cave to slay a dragon
This time he played a barbarian who hated both our magic users
But carried a sword of magic flame
And when we'd reached the dragon's lair he argued tactics for an hour
'Til we fed him to the dragon then we killed it in three rounds

Best game ever

Best game ever

And as we wound down the adventure
Back in town inside the tavern
There was George as a half elf, half orcish monk illusionist
And as we counted out our treasure
He insisted on attempting  to seduce the barmaid
Laughing as she cried and raised her fists
Then we all picked up our weapons and as he died he swore
He would never game with us again as long as he lived

Best game ever

Saved a barmaid, slayed a dragon
Got some treasure, raised a flagon
And we racked up the X.P.
And we will never
Have to deal with George's bullshit in another game again
That is at least until next week

Because he is the D.M.'s brother
And their mom won't let us game here in their basement anymore
Unless we say that he can play
And, yeah, I know you had to be there
But I swear by all that's holy
Victory was never sweeter than it was today

Best game ever
