Because I’m about to get high. Bonus: What do you plan doing besides being on Straight Dope? ---

Not yet. Soon probably. If I’m lucky, the pint of blood I donated a few hours ago will give it an extra kick. Edit: Your second question. Generally once I’m…less than sober, I resolve myself to consuming media and not adding to it. That usually seems to manifest itself in a few hours of youtube and than going to bed. For the last few months I watched _a lot_ of Pink Floyd videos. Whoever Roger Waters had singing and playing lead guitar with him a few years ago is really good. ---

Looked it up again, it’s Doyle Bramhall II. I’ve really taken a liking to this video. Cued up to Comfortably Numb, but the whole concert is really good. I mean, the Wall, Animals, DSOTM, Wish You Were Here etc, they got a little bit of everything.

I’d love to see David someday, but I have a feeling the ship may have sailed on that one. Besides, last time he toured, tickets were something like $600. ---

Fun fact, and relevant to the topic. So my friend and I are at the Roger Waters concert. Right before it started some random guy behind us taps me on the shoulder, hands me a pipe and asks if I want a hit. It was one of those pipes that looks like a car cigarette lighter. Sure. I take a few puffs. Hand it to my friend she hits it a few times and gave it back to him. Hours later, when the show is over. I looked over at her and at the same time we both said ‘uh, are you still high’. We both were and we both noticed that it tasted funny. I don’t know what was in it, but it was more than just weed. My WAG has always been that it had some mushroom dust in it. ---

Damn… That’s a lot of dough. I’m watching YouTube currently. Mostly news and video game videos. I may watch High Score on Netflix. (Video Game doc) ---

> [@MyFootsZZZ](#): > > I may watch High Score on Netflix. (Video Game doc) I just watched the first episode of that. Being past my ‘I love movies with subtitles’ phase, it was a bit more work that I was looking for. My main issue with subtitles is that I can’t ‘watch’ the movie and look at my laptop or phone at the same time. I don’t know if the other episodes also feature so much Japanese. I’ll likely watch at least another one. I also watched the first episode and half of the second episode of Captive and I’ll probably give Unwell a shot at some point in the near future. ---

I saw two episodes of High Score, there’s less Japanese in the second one I think… But we meet the dude that supplied the sound effects of Donkey Kong, so there’s a little Japanese. ---

At some point I saw a documentary on the making of Nintendo. So I did have some idea as to what I was getting in to. But obviously Atari and arcades go a step earlier. Oh, and when they were talking to the guy who’s dad was the inventor of Channel F, until they put the woman’s name on the screen, I was honestly unsure as to whether or not the woman next to him was Michelle Obama. Dead ringer for her though. ---

There’s not a lot about Nintendo’s launch that I didn’t already know, but they get into the game magazine Nintendo Power which was actually pretty cool. I’m looking forward to the next one. Being almost 40, I was in my prime when Genesis came around, and still partial to SNES. I knew she looked familiar to me. I didn’t put much effort into placing it. ---

I believe I used to get the magazine as well. I also had a Game Genie. IIRC, Nintendo Power usually had Game Genie codes in it. ---

No… Nintendo was dead-set against “game enhancers”. ---

To be honest, they kinda sucked the fun out of the game anyway. Granted, I used it all the time. But getting infinite lives or allowing Peach to jump across the entire level takes removes most of the challenge. ---

I was born in 80, the NES came out in 86 and we got it when it was still new, so I was probably 6 or 7, and lived on it for a long, long time. I have the mini version of it now. Which, for the record, is pretty much exactly the same. It even uses identical controllers. ---

Yeah… Born in 80 as well. I didn’t get the NES mini, the Switch has almost all of those games for free, so… ---

Alcohol based high. Decently inebriated. @MyFootsZZZ is welcome to pass me some other inebriations. Honestly I wish I had a handful of LSD sugar cubes. ---

Yeah, I was properly medicated last night. Was bingeing Suits on Netflix, which was sorta an updated LA Law. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whos-currently-lit-high-while-reading-this-thread-tittle/918537.md?page=2)
