Guest Bryan Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Are there any people out there who (gasp! :shock: ) mix alcohol and online play? I was thinking about how interesting it would be if we all picked an evening to simutaneously drink a six pack (or a few margaritas) right before logging on for some Midtown Madness or gunplay in GR:IT. <crawls on soapbox> BTW: I do not condone drinking and driving (unforgivable :evil: ), or drinking under age. <stumbles off soapbox> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishepa Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I suck and that would probably just make me worse. But it sure would be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 You can play sober? Is this a new Live feature? Funny idea, Bryan, it reminds of those "drunk" shows they do periodically on Howard Stern. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnemaEms Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Well, I am sure there are a few people here who remember my outings on SOCOM after Co-ed Softball on Friday nights. Lets put it this way....my grrenades had a tendency to be "off" just a little bit. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Would you guys let me play if I drank a case of near-beer? That would be a fun night to be a sniper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolemite Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I had some of my best nights of Socom ever after coming back from the bars. Heck, for a while there I tried to scientifically figure out at which beer the skills would start to detoriate and what the optimum playing capacity was. If we were to play an intoxication round I would propose modified scoring where you would take the number of kills x the number of beers - the number of suicides. This would prevent those 1 beer pussies from hopping in and taking advantage of the more tanked individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As leader of said SOCOM Clan, I can attest to the few would play with a few drinks in them. Some of the funniest gameplay/talk was seen & heard during those times :green: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Sign me up for a weekend, drunken LIVE night. GR:IT followed by MM3 would be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Of course, the problem with this is (as I found last night) that players are always having to stumble off to the bathroom or the fridge every few minutes. I usually have a couple while playing online though, might be fun to go all out. Probably not a good idea for those who get FPS motion sickness.

Zathras Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I know I've played against people who were doing more than drinking at the time. At least the didn't leave to get munchies 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 One of the best drinking games is play some 100 lap GT with high wear turned on as to require a lot of pit stops. Require the drivers to take a shot or chug a beer during the pit stop. Played a whole bunch of this in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Speaking of drinking video games... My friend (Thrillho) and I would play drinking All-Star Baseball. Drink for every out, in between innings, and each run scored against you. Then at the end, the victor would count to the number of runs they had while the loser would chug until the counting was done. Sadly, no Baseball games this year really got us motivated to purchase one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillho Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Merlot you forgot a few things, We would drink 1 beer for a single, 2 for a double and so forth, so when you hit a home run you had do drink 4, and a grand slam was then worth 8. It was really brutal. We used to get a shore house every summer and the two of us would beat everyone esle there by about an hour every friday night. By the time everyone else would get there we would be smashed already from this game. We actaully had to suspend some of the drinking on the singles doulbes and such because we weren't making it out to the bars. " AAAH AVALON NJ....

AndyVX Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 While it wasn't drinking, and not an Xbox game, I had TONS of fun one night while on shrooms playing Syphon Filter. Wow, what a trip that was. Sadly (but probably for the best) those days have long been over for me. Drinking and playing NFL Blitz with a bunch of your buddies is quite fun. Well, count me in for some drunken Midtown Madness on Live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
