Believe it or not, not only have I never played a videogame while intoxicated...I've never even tasted alcohol in my life. And I'm 18. Is that possible?

Same. Except I'm 17. I really don't see why anyone would get drunk and then play some videogame. :/

NFS2, GT4 I don't crash when im high. Playing games while drunk is pointless IMO. Its only 1230 and im baked and Im going to go play video games now.

Winners don't use drugs.

They don't?

Carl Sagan disagrees.

So do a host of other artists/intellectuals in this world.

Beatles pre-drugs were ok. Beatles post-drugs were friggin awesome.

Guess it depends on your view of what a winner is I guess.

Donkey Konga is amazing drunk. Get a bunch of drunk people and bust out the bongo's... damn good time. Playing any type of season sports game is bad news when high. I would get so focused into it, that I would make trade after trade after trade and then the next time I would look I would have an entire new team. But the greatest game to play while high is RE4... I was scared as hell playing that, You get so into it then something just burst from around the corner... scary man... scary

 

[ryuen]

fusion frenzy is the greatest game to play when drunk. twisted system and sumo especially.

 

[bycha]

No way. Too hard and no fun.

 

[BobbyRobby]

Playing drunk made me screw up all my ratios in Resident Evil 4. And there was one night when I blacked out, and the next day I noticed I had beaten a large chunk of Aria of Sorrow.

No fun. Though, multiplayer Nintendo titles are very fun when drunk. (Wario Ware, Mario Kart, SSB:M)

 

[Mareg]

I play all my game totally intoxicated..... to caffeine !

 

[Socreges]

I remember trying to play Mario Kart with friends while drunk. It was impossible. Then we got to Rainbow Road. :lol

 

[Flo_Evans]

to all you prudes - sitting at home (or a freinds house) playing games while in an altered state is alot better than driving around possibly harming yourself or others.

katamri damacy is great when you are fucked up. pretty much any game is.

 

[Zeo]

If I didn't think drinking and druggin' were dumb, I'd probably play Rez. heh

 

[Deleted member 1235]

I used to get home from the pub on a saturday night 3-4am piss drunk and me and my flattie would play some halo 2. training grounds only, it was fun, but hopelessly bad. playing games stoned is great fun though.

 

[BlackSalad]

Quake 3 of course.

And Tempest is probably the best game I've ever played while intoxicated, it felt like I was tripping off just weed..

 

[ToxicAdam]

This will age me, but playing competitive games like Tekken 3, Twisted Metal 2 and NHL 98 were great while being baked.

 

[Purple Drank]

I don't know about the rest of you, but playing games while drinking SOBERS ME UP. Whenever I drink too much or lean too much, I play HALO on Easy or the Standard difficuly or one of many fighting games. Sobers me up every single time

 

[Jive Turkey]

I find that I get really good at racing games after I've thrown back a few. F-Zero GX specifically. I remember coming home after a night of drinking and turning on my Cube for a few minutes before falling asleep. When I woke the game was still on and I had beaten Story mode Chapter 7 on Hard. Kinda pissed me off though because I didn't know exactly how I did it and was kinda flying blind for a while trying to beat Very Hard.

 

[genjiZERO]

My freshman year of college we had Thursday Bond Night. The whole floor of my dorm would all go out and get 40z and play GoldenEye all night. Ahhhh those were the days.

Now it's Tiger Woods PGA Tour while stoned. Friggin' awesome. There's nothing more fun than being high talking about how awsome you virtual approach shot is!

 

[stone128]

I was high during most of Killer 7


... excellent game, especially the cloudman stage.

 

[polg]

Singstar + Alcohol = party

 

[callous]

I never play games when I'm drunk. I find it boring and headache inducing. I only get drunk when there's a chance of getting in contact with the opposite sex.

 

[echoshifting]

Very rarely...when I'm too stressed out about things, I will get tanked so that I can game without feeling guilty about taking some time out to relax. Of course, I have to restrict myself to games that require no thought whatsoever....varieties of RPGs, especially action RPGs, like Fate, for instance.

Drinking heavily really sucks, though. I do it less than once a month (ahem...last night) and I just feel like shit the next day...headaches don't bother me, but wanting to puke my guts up all day does. I don't know how people do this on a regular basis. Ugh.

Yeah I drink a few times a month and I haven't really figured it out yet. Sometimes I'm fine the next day, I will feel great. Other times I get sick as hell, and it won't even be off that many drinks. Is it the type of alcohol that determines how sick you get?

I've been drinking a lot of gin and tonics when I go out now because they don't kill your breath and they don't fuck with me too bad.
