Gaming while drunk, tired or otherwise subpar

[Master Kuja]

Starcraft 2 while drunk.

HOOOO boy.
Bye bye build order, bye bye APM, hello spamming zealots without any real sense of what you're doing.
Even more amusing when you're 3v3ing with two friends who are also blind drunk. Any semblance of team work just goes out the window and yet it's still incredibly fun. It's actually one of our staple "Let's get drunk and play this!" games.

Know why? Because there's always that chance that three utterly wasted team mates will beat top gold players.

Don't know if this counts, because it's with other people, but, I've played GTA IV like 3 times completely drunk with friends and it was sooo silly and stupid.
Especially! drunk driving while drunk; like giving a loaded gun to a teething baby.

Playing Wow drunk is not fun at all, all you get is abused because you arent keeping up or attacking the wrong thing, oh hilarity. Halo on the original xbox, I have had some fun times on multi-player with Jim Beam and coke.

Drunk driving while drunk!!! =D

Usually a shooter, cause my skills are sharper, since I'm running on an adrenaline fueled gaming session thats keeping me awake. Though I'm a lot more prone to make spur of the moment decisions then to plan and think.

i play what ever game i would play sober.

but i rarely get drunk at home. like ill ahve a 6 pack of scotch and coke but i barely feel it. i think cause i drink them too slowly when im playing games. i need to sit there and just skull all 6 in 5 mins then play.

Playing Civilization when tired makes it easier to get into one of my "Civ trances." You know, the ones where you zone back in and it's 4 in the morning and you have just discovered space flight despite the fact that when you last checked, you had just discovered the wheel?

Usually just screw around in some type of sandbox game or play audiosurf.

Once played Codblops on Hardcore FFA on XBL (so lagtastic at times) after drinking 6 budweisers and being a total lightweight.

I kicked massive amounts of arse somehow...

Perhaps you reached that level where you know you're drunk, but drunk enough so you're a better player for it. I mean come you still have to play some gays right?

Heh, yeah, the good old one-more-turn syndrome...

Still love that trance though.

I just kind of get frisky when I'm drunk so unfortunately doesn't have much effect. I did try and take on a high level dungeon with a low level gnome in wow once. I think I died alot.

I play COD: Black Ops online drunk, when you don't take it seriously it's great fun. =)

 

[Camaranth]

I was struggling for ages trying to beat castlevania potrait of ruin, came home wasted after a night out, booted up the DS and finished that bastard off no problem.
I know I beat it, can't remember how

I've been spending a few months on a work gig, residing in hotels, having only the weekends for actual free time, getting back to my own place with access to my computer. My work is quite demanding physically, and with the 40 or so hours I've got for to actually do whatever the hell I want, I like to zero down the week with a few beers or a bottle of wine. Sometimes there isn't much happening so I like to play games for some lovely escapism. Even if I don't drink, I've often found myself a bit tired, reasonably bored or under other circumstances that don't exactly help to concentrate on any too competitive, story-driven or other games that demand a certain amount of focus.

So, my question for You, the other lovely Escapees is: what games do you like to play when you're not exactly 100%; drunk, tired and so on? You can share stories too if you like.

Lol,I hear you buddy.5 years ago me and my friends would call them stoner games.I've grown up a lot since then but still have some fond memories of those stoner games,it's a little hazy though.

A few games that I could completely veg out and play are NHL,Pikimin,Borderlands,GTA,and Blitz the league(So bad it's good).The king of stoner games though is Guitar Hero.

Once tried to play a FPS while having a headache... needless to say it wasn't a great idea.

A question, has anyone tried getting drunk in-game in GTAIV *while* being drunk IRL? Can't imagine how hard would it be to do anything.

Heh, yeah. Haven't seen Mary J in a while, but few years back when I randomly did, Civilization IV was awesome; archers bigger than cities, controlling a whole civilization and the vastness and all that. Awesome.

I hate they don't make NHL's for PCs anymore. One of the few reasons for thinking of getting the first console... No idea why I haven't thought about GTA's though. That ought to be guaranteed good fun too.

By the way, props for the great avatar! I just hope they'll solve the goalie problem some day.

I usually play AudioSurf after a few drinks and I'm actually not that bad at it. For a game that requires muscles twitch reactions, alcohol seems to have little effect on my ability to get through a song without completely screwing up.

 

[Wintermoot]

somehow I kick ass at Stepmania when I,m half asleep.

 

[tzimize]

Depends what kind of tired. Physically exhausted....probably something low paced. Turn based strategy (HoMM3 comes to mind) or Magic the Gathering.

Just robbed of sleep: Anything can be fun

 

[deathninja]

When I can't get the the course for whatever reason, I wind down with PGA instead, only it's impossible to play after a few beers.

Then I switch to Burnout, a loot-em-up like Torchlight/Borderlands or something sandboxy w/ the autosave off.

EDIT: Though back in the day C&C Generals was *amazing* over local once we all got back from the bar.
