Video Games + Alcohol.

[Scuba Clock]

I've found that I play Call of Duty and Halo 3 much more effeciently when I'm slightly boozed.

And I don't mean "Whoa bro, I'm so fucking trashed I'm owning these fucking fags!!" Nor am I trying to brag, it's not something I should relatively be proud of but is an odd truth.

Yesterday afternoon I picked up my controller and hadn't been doing so well.
Kill death ratio in the 9-7/17-16 ish area.

After a forty of Mickey's I'd gotten in the 25-4/ 17-9 area.

Anyone else experienced said phenomena?

Yeah i've noticed that, i also gain more attention when i'm drunk.

I know this woman who i play xbox live with on Gears, whenever i play her when she's not drunk i can kick her ass easily, when she's had a lager or two she's actually alot harder to kill.

im never slight boozed, only sober or utterly drunk.


also this thread is pretty nerdy if you ask  me

How so?

I'd say it's a bit on the alcoholic side.
Every now and then a couple of friends and I grab 40's and hang out in mah room. Listen to music and such...
Their girlfriends grab the computer, we play games.

If that's still too nerdy for you, even coming back from parties pretty polluted but not ready to go to bed I crank up the 360.
But with Halo it had more to do with Halo 2 on teh Xbox.

Booze = Antinerd

I play games terribly when I'm drunk but i have a lot more fun. i got in one night and tried to solo deadmines on WoW as a level 43 boomkin, got as far as sneed's shredder. team fortress 2 is always fun when drunk on voice chat.

No, I've never had anything like that, you probably just got plenty of flukes because there is no apparent reason why you'd get better at gaming when you're slightly bozed.

2 years of flukes?

[Slash]

Fine then there is another reason.

[Flounderpa]

my teory of this may be because the alcohol relax the body and liberate the frustration and making you more concentrate.

At least that's what I think

40 of mickey's =slighly boozed?

[peyoteclock]

it's because you're acting more automatically, less thought is going into the process.

i play drunken  gears or gta4 all the time it's great fun especially if you're doing the best.

[Moose Clock]

I can only sing in RockBand and pass when drunk.

Ok, maybe a little more than slightly boozed.

Let's say, decently buzzed.

I can only sing in RockBand and pass when drunk.

This is also VERY true.

Peyote also brings up a solid point.

[Mashed Potato Johnson]

Maybe because your actions are alot less predictable. I find when I'm drinking and trying to play games, I have alot more fun but I pay less attention and don't really care what is going on.

[Moose Clock]

This is also VERY true.

Until you can't stop laughing and fail.

[satan will destroy you]

i like to play games on w33d better, esp with some nice music
i feel trashy as hell when drunk and i hate my playing style afterwards, i only think its fun at the moment of being buzzz'd

[PoisonshroomClock]

i've always wanted to get trashed and go on XBL, but haven't really gotten around to it

anyway one memory that sticks out is when i was beating my friends in halo and i was a lot more drunk then them llol

[FluxCapacitorClock]

I've never played a game drunk, but I beat Shadow of the Colossus from start to finish when I was high...
