3 AM MEME WOOO
Ah, who can forget Oregon Trail? It was that one game in elementary school that was supposed to be really educational or something, but everyone was too busy laughing at the horrible ways their friends died. So let's keep up that tradition with a meme!
STEPS:
- Go here!
- Pick a team of unwilling characters!
- Chronicle their misadventures in as little or as much detail as you want!
- Laugh at the misfortunes of other teams!
