Gameological: Do you get really competitive?īloom: I don’t have to win. It’s a very guttural, core part of my childhood that instantly takes me back. An hour of your day is spent actually rehearsing for a play or whatever, and the other three hours are spent doing these theater games. That’s how I spent my summers, and when you’re a kid, that’s all you do. Personally, the reason these games are so special to me-every single summer, I did a daytime theater camp. Gameological: We used to call it “Mafia.”īloom: I’ve played many different versions. There’s a detective who tries to figure out who the murderer is. We play a version where you close your eyes and if someone taps, you you’re the murderer, and everyone closes their eyes, and the murderer can murder people by tapping them, and they get tapped out. Gameological: Tell me about the games you do play.īloom: My friends have these semi-frequent parties at which it’s game night, and we play-oh my god what’s the electronic thing, where you guess a number? It’s one of those trivia games, but it’s an electronic thing you pass around.īloom: It’s Catchphrase.

I’m afraid of becoming like everyone who plays video games, where it’s like you just play for 20 hours. Like when there’s chocolate in the house I can’t stop eating, or, like, masturbating. If I find something I like I do it all the time. I literally think that it’s just, I’m super afraid to get one because I have a history of getting distracted. I love sci-fi and fantasy, and the idea of role-playing in these worlds is super exciting. Everything about video games interest me. Rachel Bloom: I should get into The Sims, because I’m interested in all this stuff. The Gameological Society: What are you playing this weekend?
