Poll: Drinking and gaming

[Meggiepants]

I am incapable of playing altered in way. My reactions are too slow and I become addicted to jumping off cliffs.

Seriously, you can find an suitable cliff to hurl yourself to your death in any game if you try hard enough. Apparently when I am intoxicated, I'm really good at finding these things.

I don't drink because alcohol is of the devil and also it would be illegal. But anyways I find it hilarious to play with drunk people, especially when they talk on the mics. I remember a nice game of CS:S on Super Bowl Sunday... I don't remember the last time I've laughed that hard.

Not always but usually. I get the feeling that a lot of people here are young or are taught that alcohol is bad m'kay, because they are thinking that someone having a drink after work and kicking back and playing is somehow going to make them a slobbering mic-eating drunkard.

Drinking and gaming is fun, but it definitely makes me worse, so depending on the game this might piss me off.
Smoking and gaming go hand in hand though, absolute focus, "I become one with the game".

LAME EXCUSES!

I hate alcohol...but weed was my choice back in the 70's and 80's. Back then even the Law
didn't care about weed, although some of them would take it from us. We were sure they smoked it themselves. Now THAT is what you call the "good ole days".

From my friend's experiences a GUI can get you the banhammer if your not careful about it...

GUI? Gaming under the influence? You mean banned from the escapist?

Not exactly, I mean gaming networks and servers like Xbox Live which one of my friends was banned from for Drunken Verbal Assault on a minor when he was playing CoD: WaW with a bunch of 13 year olds...

O I never talk to people over that so it wouldn't be a problem for me anyway.

When I played Americas Army all the time I would drink while on Teamspeak. After a few I played better, weird. After a few more I played worse. So I tried to just keep myself in that 'playing better' area.

i'd be lying if i said i never do it at all.

hafta figure that at some point during a drunk night, i'm probably gonna stumble across my 360.
