That\u2019s a proven fact conducted by scientists and monkeys. But unless you count getting thrashed by a 12-year-old Ugandan on Call Of Duty at two in the AM, it\u2019s not the most social of activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not anymore! We\u2019ve put our heads together and come up with 3 awesome ways to enjoy video games FOR REAL with your mates. Some of them are even better than the originals. Here\u2019s what we found:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Minecraft<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.one_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-412\" src=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.one_-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"pic.one\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Okay, this one is more popular with your nieces and nephews than it would be for you and your mates (although it is totally addicting). We can\u2019t exactly imagine a lot of \u201cspleef\u201d talk down the pub.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pictwo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-415\" src=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pictwo-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"pictwo\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chances are, however, you\u2019re already participating in a little real-life Minecraft without even knowing it. Okay, maybe you aren\u2019t building forts out of sofa cushions anymore, but every time you exhibit a little one-upmanship in the DIY stakes (we\u2019re thinking home cinema, outdoor pizza oven, games room etc.) you\u2019re practically flexing your Minecraft muscles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Resident Evil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.three_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-414\" src=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.three_-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"pic.three\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It doesn\u2019t matter who you are, everybody knows this zombie-slaying, shriek-inducing, trouser-staining video game series. And there\u2019s nothing more satisfying than hearing that meaty crunch as you pop a shuffling corpse in the head. Yay!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.four_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-411\" src=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.four_-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"pic.four\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zombie Experience lets you and a group of friends enjoy the fun of apocalyptic carnage for real. Team up for the day and battle hordes of authentic-looking walking dead in all sorts of horror movie-inspired locations &#8211; live ammo not included.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mario Kart<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.five_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-410\" src=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.five_-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"pic.five\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This classic is the stuff of childhood memories. It\u2019s also our personal favourite on the list. We even have a copy of the original in the office!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.six_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-413\" src=\"http:\/\/mixingout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pic.six_-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"pic.six\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What could be better than smashing your mate\u2019s car with a gigantic red turtle shell? Well, you can\u2019t quite go to those extremes with real-life Go Karting but it sure rivals any video game equivalent in every other aspect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everybody loves video games.
