Board Games T-Shirts ?!?

[SonicBlum]

Those board game T-Shirts were fresh! (y)

I have a question about them though...

My interpretation is that everyone chose a board game based on the question: (lb)
"If you were a board game, what would you be?" :D

Adrock chose SCRABBLE probably because of his ability to put words together... (y)

MCA chose MAH JONG because of his interest in the Asian culture (y)

Mix Master Mike chose ELECTRONIC BATTLESHIP because of his turntable abilities and the relationship with technology (y)

Nishita chose BOOGLE because... :confused:

Alfredo Ortiz chose YAHTZEE because... :confused:

(I don't know those guys well enough to guess) :rolleyes:

BUT, now for my question... (!)

WHY DID MIKE D.'s shirt say "CRITTER?!?"
:eek:

[doodoo-style]

cause CRITTER is a game fool..didn't u have it as a kid??? Mike D prob plays a lot with his son. Look up CRITTER yo self'

[slimey]

what a dope

No need to call me a fool...
I did the research and couldn't find that game

[SonicBlum]

And they've said that those are their favorite games.

was it from an interview on tv or an article in a magazine?

[SonicBlum]

what a dope
instead of trying to insult me, how about answering my question (and showing proof for the answer)

[b-grrrlie]

I'd like to know what Critter is as well. All I can find is about dogs and racoons and other super furry animals.

[doodoo-style]

I didn't mean to call you a fool..i was kidding. Sorry to insult you..but CRITTER is a game where you have to build your bug first. You get legs, eyes, antenas..etc You would know it if u saw it...

[SonicBlum]

I still don't know what game CRITTER is. :mad: :confused: :mad:

I tried doing research and the only thing that I came up with is:

A game called CRITTER IN THE CANDY at boardgamegeek.com (lb)
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/catbrowse.php3?id=89

and CRITTER IN THE CANDY at askdrtoy.com (lb)
http://www.drtoy.com/ask_drtoy/ask_drtoy_g_to_i.html

GAME - BOARD - CRITTER IN THE CANDY (!)
My four-year-old plays a game called Critter in the Candy made by Gabriel Toys.

Isn't that Cootie?

I also looked up Critter and came up empty. It does sound like something he plays with his son.

... CRITTER is NOT "a game where you have to build your bug first. You get legs, eyes, antenas..etc " (n)

THAT IS CALLED COOTIE! :eek:

what a dope

have anything to say for yourself?

[SonicBlum]

Hey Mike D.,

How about setting the record straight?

Sonic
:confused:

[1 2 Oh My God]

Funny, I thought Adrock was the King of Boggle.

He gets 11 points off the word "quagmire".

I guess that word helps in Scrabble too, though.

[QUOTE=Miramanee]From an interview with sexnrocknroll.com (http://www.sexnrocknroll.com/articles/article_beastie.php):

thanks Miramanee (y)

but I still have no answer to the CRITTER question...
;)

[sea_dragon]

All I've found is "Critter Commandos", Sega's "Whack a Critter," and "Critter Chain" which is a word game - I was thinking maybe it's a card game? Or a very obscure dominoes variation?

I think someone may need to pose that question to Yauch next time he's on...

How do I know when Yauch is on, and how do I pose the question to him? :confused:

[adrock1988]

tonight in Philly they wore three different shirts than MSG.

[Praying Mantis]

Philly Shirts

MCA - Rock'em Sock'em Robots
Mike D - Candyland
The King AD-ROck - Buck Buck
MMM - Operation
Alfredo Ortiz - Gin RUmmy

I couldnt read Money Marks

[SonicBlum]

MMM - Operation

It seems like MMM keeps true to his common theme of all games electronic... (lb)

[wgeis61]

i want a board game t-shirt. the boys should sell them for charity or something.

[Erbs]

MCA is the MAN. I'd rock these T's if someone could find some....mos def!

[ShaolinvsWuTang]

I think that is the best question ever!!!

Maybe this is the game in question.

I think this might be it. Yauch just said:

no it's some shit they play sitting around a table with little plastic animals. that's about all i know. or care to know.;)

[SonicBlum]

Thanks for your response, (y) but where did you get your information from? Is there a place I can go to see Yauch's quote :confused: ?

[SwimFinFan]

I have an explanation (sort of) about Critter. There is an interview with the Beasties in the new Wax Poetics magazine and they are asked about this:

"I've read that you guys have a particular hobby for each record that you record, like basketball, dominoes, and video games.
ADROCK: We had a basketball court and a half-pipe skateboard ramp at our G-Son studio. We did a lot of basketball, skating, and eating. It was part of a team thing. We'd all order food together, mostly from Noni's, an Italian restaurant from across the street.
MCA: Yeah, they distracted us from the records. We played a lot of mahjong in the making of this last record.
MIKE D: Check Your Head was dominoes. Ill Communication was Sega video golf. Hello Nasty was definitely Boggle. On the new record, we actually split off into different games. Mahjong for Yauch, Scrabble for Horovitz, and I was definitely into a game called Critter, which was a version of Mexican train dominoes."

So I searched and found all sorts of stuff for Mexican train dominoes, but the only Critter dominoes I can find are dominoes for kids that have pictures of animals on them. So maybe he is playing Mexican train dominoes with critter tiles?

[SwimFinFan]

No can scan, but I will try to transcribe. It is long.........may take a while.

[SonicBlum]

Good lookin' out SwimFinFan!

I think that I finally have an answer!

Now I can finally get a decent night sleep ;)

Well, that's weird considering what Yauch said last night...

Thanks for your response, (y) but where did you get your information from? Is there a place I can go to see Yauch's quote :confused: ?

Here (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=37467&page=5&pp=30) near the bottom... I tried to ask him if it was Critter Commandos, but he left right then. Miramanee says she's got a 70's version of it though a couple of pages later.
