Gaming while drunk, tired or otherwise subpar

[triggrhappy94]

Hahaha sooooo many stories....
One time I took some ambian, and got pretty high (a side from the ambian), then played some Black Ops zombies with some friends, who were high, but didn't take ambian. It was just on the default zombies map and all my friends are pretty good at the game, but I was tripping the most I ever had. After acouple minutes, I was gone. It felt like my brain was melting and running down my back, and my spine was on fire. I downed three cans of Dr. Pepper before even noticing I was half way through with my first. I remember being hungry, and remembering seeing tortillas in the kitchen, but I don't remember stumbing to the kitchen. The tortillas were AMAZING, they tasted like pita bread; I was eating them plain.
I managed to stay alive for a couple rounds, but as soon as the map turned into an MC Esher painting, and I stopped recognizing the rooms I started to die a lot. When the dogs first showed up, I felt like I was actually in the game; probably one of the most amazing events in gaming ever. There's a couple lapses in my memory from (I think) blacking out. It eventually got to the point where each room was a different game for me. There were some rooms where I thought I was playing CoD2, Bioshock, or Gears of War. There's one point where I said, "You guys are still playing this game," while playing myself, "I've already beaten CoD2 [in the amount of time you guys have been playing]." I rememeber getting kind of mad at the game, because I'd look at my screne, while in spectator mode watching my friend's screne, and the screne would be all fucked up, then I'd look over at the same screne on a different TV and it'd be fine. So I'm pretty sure I said something like, "Oh thanks Black Ops, pick on the guy who's tripping balls."
That was such a fun night.

Hmm... I've played Mount and Blade Warband while tired, and I ending up just running into the walls of a Tavern punching the walls...

Oddly enough, I once played a Left 4 Dead game where two of my teammates were clearly drunk by the sound of their voices and one of them giggled slightly, yet they were stll the two best performing players on the team, and in a another game with completely different people one of my team mates outright asked us if "Is it okay if I go afk to get some Vodka or something?", I and the other two people on my team answered yes (as Vodka takes priority over killing Zombies), and he still did pretty well... but he sucked at melee though.

Prototype is a really nice game to play drunk. I just go around and use random people as skateboards no thinking required.

Portal 2 co op when your drunk. No matter what you do you can't stop laughing. I mean, it takes like an hour to get through a level. But that's fine knowing you have murdered each other about 25 times each.

Really it's just games I like to avoid in those circumstances. Tactical FPS's and League of Legends basically. Compounding the hits to both strategical thinking and reaction times makes for game mode not good at stuff... so I probably wouldn't play them now.

League of Legends drunk is so much fun. I go from raging to having the time of my life.

Haven't dared try it drunk, but I hate playing that game tired. It's like going for a game of n and accidentally loading up I Wanna Be The Guy.

If your with a friend and are very tired, civalization revolution is extreamly entertaining, espically when shaka is being a push over. I once beat fable three at my friends house, first time either of us played it, and stayed up 36 hours that day. It was not that good of a game but we got a whole lot done, and it was very amusing.

I can't play any videogame when drunk. Mainly because I'm nowhere near a gaming console or PC when drinking. Other that I lose interest in playing.

As for tired, mostly anything quiet, or an RPG. It can hurt if it's anything flashy or noisy. So, FPS are a no-no.

Ninja'd. Prototype rules when you're blazed, drunk or just dead tired. WoW is fun too under those conditions, and Just Cause 2 is a barrel of laughs when you're in an altered state of mind. I can't play a really in depth game when blitzed, unless it's Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask, since I've beaten them so many times I can recite whole speeches verbatim.

me and my friend tend to play league of legends drunk, its fun, Im good enough to not really be affected and hes a heavyweight at drinking

Playing shmups is a complete waste of time if your pissed.

Touhou is even more trippy though. Never tried but always wondered what that game would be like on E.

Katamari+LSD. Last time I took LSD. Frankly, because I wasn't even holding the controller properly.

I like to play story heavy games when ive had a few beers. For instance when I sat down to my first play through of KOTOR I sat down with a six pack and relaxed into the story. I had to reset eventually since I screwed up that characters stats but it was fun while it lasted.

 

[Craorach]

I don't drink, but if I'm dead tired, or feverish to the point of unable to really function, I limit myself to single player games on the console or dailies/questing on MMOs.

I never, ever, play multiplayer team games in such circumstances, and in WoW I have an unpopular tendancy to votekick anyone who admited to being drunk or stoned.. or leave myself, and I'm the tank so that normally isn't what happens. I don't like playing games with people who willing make themselves unable to function properly.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R games while drunk/tired are basically impossible...I already die enough in them and with the added difficulty its just too much.

 

[Volkade]

Halo or CoD. I tend to overthink things all the time, and get aggitated easily. When I'm drunk though, I hardly think at all, and don't notice aggitation. I then Win.

Eve is good, you really don't have to do much in that game. Fairly smooth motions of warp to instance lock on to pirates and fire. Come back and do some cathartic salvage runs.

 

[Sir Boss]

I once played halo after 24 hours without sleep, I was brain-dead enough to fully appreciate all of the pretty, pretty lights being shot in my direction.

 

[almostgold]

Just cause 2, while..... listening to sublime and eating Taco Bell.

 

[mireko]

Any RPG with grind. Makes those little milestones seem closer, you know?

Minecraft works too, but that might be because I don't make anything good even when I'm completely sober.

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.
