First time watcher. And yes. This is a phenomenally Bad Idea on so many levels.umbraticus said:
It's also a weirdly bad fit for the Escapist, given that it generally prides itself on intelligent discourse on games and advancing the culture / art angle of gaming. I'm not saying everything has to be on par with Yahtzee or Extra Credits, but what I see here isn't smart enough to be lowbrow.
I'm not a habitual troll. Generally if I don't have something nice to say I just move on. This, though, is so exceptionally bad a concept that I had to speak up. It ought to stop.
I'll be honest, I'm not all that sure about this series. Oh it's certainly entertaining, and I'm probably one of the heavier drinkers on the site if I'm honest with myself, but I still find this a bit... gratuitous? Out of character for the Escapist?
Hell I don't know. Either way, other people in the thread were right, this is much better than last week's.

I've played a COD drinking game and it was far better than this could ever be... just look on facebook to find some decent rules.
Well this was a lot better than the last one, as the major thing that bugged me was watching drunk strangers I didn't care about.
The idea of the drinking game rules is not bad and the delivery is somewhat amusing, but it lacks originality.
Overall I do not think there is enough material in the concept to make a good series.

Notice that these guys say "take a drink" instead of "take a shot".Brombaq said:
American's can drink, they have the ability to injest fluids and absorb alcohol into their blood stream, they just don't use that facility to great effect.
My favourite drinking game happens to be "down the pub."
the rules are: you go down the pub and drink until you can't tell the walls from the ceiling.
Lol, I am super drunk right now.
And ... I like your show.
Uhm, you stay frosty too. Never got a hangover yet; hope I didn't jinx it!

This doesn't fit on the escapist even slightly.
It is funny watching Extra Credits who glorify games as an art medium to such a large extent and then to watch this...

Not really my cup of tea guys, but hey, different strokes for different folks.
If I'm going to play a drinking game, it'll be Ring of Fire.
Also, beer in plastic cups? Really? I hate beer in plastic cups. It ruins it.

The fun part of drinking games for video games is that a player's skill can determine how drunk they get. All of this seems boring since it's already predetermined (except the 'obvious advice'). Maybe "Take a drink every time you die" or "Finish your drink if you run out of ammo for your current gun".
I like this show, I'm not a heavy drinker but I like the concept of a show about enjoying games, not for the art of it, or the quality of the games but for the social interactions. Also, it's both funny and has some really good ideas and tips. The safety tips are gold. I approve, Escapist needed a more lighthearted show.
