Reapers Top 6… Drunken Gaming! Hic-up!
Drunken gaming has been a tradition since before it was legal to drink, there are many games other than the ones I picked below that are worth a mention like the adversity of a good kicking in Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter all the way to the Japanese madness of Bishi-Bashi. Of course many of the new 'party' style games are good to like Dance Central (if ya like that kind of thing) all the way to Wii Sports (or Kinect Sports - similar thing). But my personal favorites that are the product of Nostalgic and drunken good laughs are below for you to agree or disagree with. Check at the bottom see what the rest of the Crew think on the subject and feel freeto comment yourself - Whats your best drunken gaming experience? - Keep it legal kiddies...
No. 6 – Hockey Games On the PC back in the day we tried everything to get joy pads working just so we could play Hockey, NHL to be more accurate. Just when we got the old ‘Gravis’ ones the PS 1 arrived and we didn’t need them anymore. Wish it had of come along before I drunkenly broke three different office chairs in anger because Exciting Alien was kicking by ass! I suppose it didn’t help that Id jump around like a monkey when he scored… Fecker! A good way to kick off the night, difficult to play when too drunk as it requires actual skill.
No. 5 – Footy Games.Fifa/Pro Evolution Soccer. Ah Yes! From the earliest days of drinking and playing games I can remember how all the lads on a Friday night would hook up at my place to get shitfaced and play games till the early hours of the following day – Good Times. What was originally ISS on the Nes and PS2 later became Pro Evo and we drank through em all, right up to the new king of FIFA today (controversial). Winning the round was somehow a proof of drunken alpha male dominance. Best of three became best of five… at least until the latest drunk person wins. Master Gii bag would win a game and retire with the title, despite the drunken abuse it earned him – fecker! Nowadays the feud continues and Blindside G thinks he’s the man… at least until Exciting Alien kicks his ass - Ha! A great game for groups of drunken men!
No. 4 – WormsThe original Worms on the PC was very similar to the modern day ‘Worms 2’ versions available on DLC for the consoles, but there was one thing it had then that modern ones don’t – it was original!! Getting your team customised and wreaking hell on you pals little danglers was a good old piss head of a laugh, when we were done we’d feck off to the local 24hr garage and get some hotdogs. A slower paced vibe but good fun all the same. Not bad as a single player drunken event either.
No. 3 –Rockband/Guitar Hero – all versions.
Only in the last few years has this taken off for our lil group of drunken fools. The beauty of it is that it can accommodate between three to five players at once, depending on what plastic instruments you have available. Being lovers of music this was a perfect fit for all of us and we have had some cracking times with it. Personally I love nothing more than getting pissed and belting out some Pearl Jam or Metallica but the lads seem to love it when I sing ‘Gay Bar’… scary eh! Must be the way I shake it! Ewww… Great group game for a drunk crowd, just don’t get too drink it aint that easy once the coordination goes, which is why I sing!
No. 2 – Mario Kart The original drunken game and a good drunk driving simulator! From the days of the Snes all the way to the N64 and Wii, this one has always been a winner for our drunken gaming nights. Many a drink was spilled due to knee-jerk reactions as your cuddly driver goes spinning off on a banana peel. I can only imagine what it would be like to play on acid! Trippy! Fairly even playing field too, as we all suck at it, if anyone does get too good at it and keeps winning then you know it’s time to break out the shots! Mmmmushrooms!
No. 1 – Counterstrike This is of course a great game drunk or sober, but I prefer Drunk. Not exactly one for a lads game night but pure selfish pleasure. A bottle of Jameson, some kick ass metal tunes and a server where everybody knows your name – Cheers to good times. Usually all the lads on the Irish servers I used were drunk too, so there were lots of crazy antics going on. If ya can get you’re gaming buddies in on this – even better, all be it from different locations. We did try do drunken LAN parties in the early days but being next to passing out and trying to disassemble the equipment is a bad idea, especially when someone like Master Gii bag has a habit of spilling his drink all over my keyboard… arg, sticky! Play for fun and don’t expect to win! My favourite drunken game to date!
