Never drank and gamed, but, I picture something along the lines of this:



FPSs seems to be the most lulsy.

Is this a safe environment for secrets? I've had interesting gaming sessions with alcohol similar to your experiences, but I've also found after the initial manly-man rushes and ballsy pushes I become sloppy and unable to think of new strategies... and then pissy as hell when the alcohol makes me angry-drunk.

Certain other mood-altering substances, however, dramatically enhance my flow of strategy for their duration, improving my "game sense" awareness and making my "twitch" aiming reflexes significantly more accurate, especially when playing FPSs like TF2, Battlefield 3/BC2, and CS:S. I take my super-soldier skills very seriously, of course.

TL;DR YMMV, but the best 10 rounds of TF2 I've played was when I was super high on shrooms.

Games are a lot better when everyone is fucking around and not taking it seriously. When people take it seriously, the game is just ... tedious.

It works great in real life, too! Driving drunk is awesome fun, like playing driving games drunk.

Ok, just kidding. I been drinkin' a cider or two right now. woot!!

this thread has me written all over it.


i'm sure all of you are aware that i am an alcoholic, so drunken gaming is a large part of my gaming life. to me it makes gaming with friends much more enjoyable, be it over the internet or splitscreen. alcohol loosens me up and i feel like i "flow" more after a few drinks. some of my best gaming moments have been under the influence. i have such fond memories of beating games on co-op with buddies splitting a 12 pack... or a 30pack sometimes. i will openly admit though that this is only the case when my motorskills are still intact. once i am completely smashed i tend to get a bit sloppy, therefor sucky.

which then brings me to the topic of stoned gaming, that my friends is a completely different story.



i bet my lack of capitalization gets annoying after a while.

Ahh, I'm suddenly reminded of drunk driving in GTA IV, that shit was crazy!

EDIT: Reminded of that by Keehar's post, you done scooped me UTD!

drunk driving with a hooker in the car, crashing into everything until your car lights on fire, exiting the vehicle to see the hooker jumping out on fire rolling on the floor.

It also disinfects the hooker! two birds with one stone!

That right there is how Niko Bellic gets rid of evidence!

Me and my best pal ain't drinkers, but we do notice we're hitting the walls less when playing WipeOut HD after a bottle of ginger beer each.

Also at the swordfighting club I'm told that often people fight better after a drink (although not too many) because they quite simply think simpler and cut off some thinking time, meaning faster, more straightforward hits.
Of course, being *drunk* has quite the adverse effect, as you may imagine.

Nah I ain't a huge drinker either, couple of beers plus Batman challenge maps equals fun though!

That game is PC only right now.

Arkham City? Where do you live?

Oh no, I meant Resistance and Liberation. The one in the video.
