Let's all get plastered and drive!!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Friend at work brought in Need For Speed 3 (Porsche Unleashed) as well as a Microsoft Force Feedback Steering wheel!

He’s finished and lending them to me.

SO,

Tonight I’ll go work out, jog, play with my daughter, while she takes her bath I’ll write the next Ewe’s Sluts installment. Then we’ll play some more.

Then, when she goes to sleep, I set up the wheel!

I’ll familiarize myself with the game, pick a course and a car, and race it, and see how I do.

Then I’ll start drinking.

As I drink and continue to race, I’ll post my results.

So let’s see if drinking until your shitfaced is really detriment to your driving skills or is just an urban myth.
Anybody else with a racing game who’s above the legal drinking age is encouraged to join in.

Ladies and Gentleman, start your engines! Now chug a beer.

Great game!

I’ve got the beta for NFS - Motor City Madness. Difference is: It’s totally online. Race ya for pink slips!

3

The only racing game I’ve got is the N64 pod-racing game from Star Wars Episode 1.

I won’t wear my glasses, and I’ll pretend it’s a porsche.

Howyadoin Scylla,

Does inhalation of combustion by-products of dried plant materials count toward IQ (intoxication quotient)? If so, light the fires and smoke the tires, baby!

Hey, ManHec, how are you liking MCO? I’m in as DaRaven, at least until the next server wipe, at which point I’ll be The_Raven again. I guess they’re looking at an October release, I think that’s a bit optimistic given all the lag. What do you think?

Well, I just had in mind a top-fuel rally (alcohol.)

I’m pretty prudish about inciting you to drug use, unless of course you mean Nicotine.

But if you’re planning on “sparking up a doober,” you should probably try to find a racing game that features a VW van, or something.

I’m gonna drink St. Pauli Girl’s from a beer stein before I get into my virtual Porsche.

6

Raven, if you’re gonna spark while driving it may be difficult to determine how results map to the real world. Like sitting with the van in drive wondering how fast you were going, or stopping several hundred feet prior to a stop sign.

They’re definitely going to have to bulk up the server farms. No question. I love the game, but I hate the time that it takes to get logged in and into an event. I’m on as Dingus :smiley:

8

Pffft. Drink and drive. EVERYONE has done that.

Its more fun to fly pissed. I recomend IL2.

Then again, some of these sims only seem to be enjoyable if you are gunned. Who’da thunk it?

Drink and drive?
Drink and fly?

This afternoon, as I have for the past several Fridays, I’m going to stay late at work and drink and kill terrorists.

That’s right, in three short hours the free beer arrives, and I stop my pretense at work and start playing Counterstrike. Normally I just have one or two, but today will be the exception. Today I will track my progress as I go from elite counterterrorist to semi-buzzed counterterrorist to obviously intoxicated counterterrorist to shooting my name into the wall and laughing helplessly.

For those who wish to join me, I’ll be demonstrating how not to play a drunk counterterrorist on 65.25.227.88:27015.

Howyadoin,

Hey ShibbOleth, whaddid you put one of those X10 cameras in my Caddy? You been spyin’ on me or sumptin? :slight_smile:

It’s odd, when I’ve achieved an altered state of consciousness and attempt a driving game, either one of two things will happen; either I’ll rip off a personal best run, or I’ll completely blow every corner and make pertty character lines in my sheet metal.

I’m not stupid enough to try this IRL.

Did this while playing Mario Kart racing.

If you finish:

1st: drink one shot
2nd: two shots
3rd: three shots
4th and below: four shots

It gets interesting fast.

12

Dang it, I never got Half Life. Is there no one out there who plays the Tactical Ops mod of Unreal Tournament?

13

There’s a Tactical Ops mod for UT? I moved from UT to CS because I was sick and tired of rocket-jumping and science-fiction weapons and wanted something a bit more realistic. No more quad-damage and health-packs and anti-grav boots for me, no sir.

14

You, sir, are a philistine. No invites for you to my Quake parties. :wink:

15

My favorite driving game to play smashed is “Driver”. Ahhhh. If only you didn’t turn out to be a cheap imitation of Donnie Brasco.

Speaking of sparking and Mario Kart… I recall playing Mario Kart under the influence of a certain plant. I inevitably would find myself gettin’ upset because I’d forget to leave my finger on the “A” button, which happens to be the accelerator. Oops. It was great for laughs in retrospect, but at the time I just couldn’t figure out why that bugger-of-a-dragon Bowser kept passing me!!

HAHA
cool thread
Yeah I’m going to a friends place tonight with a bunch of people. Big Screen and PlayStation2 so we will play everything from Grand Turismo 3 to football games I’ll get everyone to drrink acording to their results each time they finish a game.
I’ll post my results probably tomorrow when I recover.

18

Driver is the one i’m gonna be playing, for those who don’t know you actually drive the getaway car and have to run away from the police. I’ll just have a DUI added to the charges if i get caught.

19

Dito on Driver.
Somehow those 70’s heavy-oversteer American land yachts corner a hell of a lot better when you’re shitfaced. :slight_smile:

Urp.

Well, I started off with two bottles of Dos Equis before I entered the game, just to ensure I was in the right frame of mine. I had a Labatt Blue next to me, along with three cans of Guinness.

The first map, cs_assault, resulted in an 8:6 kill:death ratio. That would have been more favorable, except for a rather unfortunate incident regarding friendly fire. I lobbed a grenade forward, and a teammate moved in front just as I did so. The grenade bounced off of his back and landed between us. -1 kill for the teamkill, +1 death for the suicide, and much frustration.

Glug glug glug went the Canadian beer.

16:7 on cs_estate. This is odd; I never have more than twice as many kills as deaths. I shrug it off and continue playing. This one fool keeps insisting on trying to rush the front door, so I keep obliging him by waiting inside with a shotgun. That didn’t hurt the stats any.

A pint of Guinness between maps, and we’re at four beers in about thirty minutes. A rather quick pace, but the objective has been clearly stated, after all.

de_dust2, and a 10:5 ratio. Apparently I became somewhat belligerent – one of my teammates, carrying the bomb, ran past an empty bombsite. After shouting on the teamline “Get back to site B! Place the bomb!” several times, I shot him in the head, took the bomb from his body, and set the charge. That seemed such a good idea at the time that after the respawn, I shot the next bombcarrier and took the bomb. My team decided to explain to me the polite way to say “Please drop the bomb”, and did it at the point of a gun.

And now I’m out of beer. My conclusions? Either alcohol improves my reflexes and all of those studies are clearly wrong, or I was playing against six-year-olds who were also drunk.

Here’s hoping other folks have similar experiences.
