Party Wednesday: Injustice Gods Among Us

            I am more partial towards Marvel than DC, but I still find it cool that they turned the DC universe into a fighting arena.  While still giving a nod to Mortal Kombat fighting genre Injustice pushes the boundaries of the traditional fighting games.  This week we will gather our friends and challenge each other to a battle to the death with our favorite DC heroes.

Décor

             There are many arenas in Injustice and in each are different sectors of that arena. I’m going to focus on the Watchtower since that is were a majority of the characters gather (you know the Justice League). 

This is going to be a tough one, I’m not going to lie, unless you or a friend owns a large warehouse or space station having a great imagination is a plus.  So as you can see in the picture above they are on a space station over looking Earth.  Ideally you will want to dedicate on side of the room to be “window” to over look earth and the stars.  You can do this one of two ways; the first is to have a projector and play a DVD of space.  Second method is to buy a laser star projector and get a large Earth wall decal.

Use metal tables that don’t show the leg like these beautiful side tables from Croft House:

Or you can buy metallic cloth and drape it over you table, be sure it hits the floor

The last item to add is the giant floating earth.  You can place is on its own table or at one of the selected food/drink tables.  I find the floating globes to be too small to get the right impact of you surveying the world.  You are more than welcome to buy one of these expensive items, or you can buy a giant inflatable globe (with base) and paint the continents a gold color.
