    There’s just a spectrum of drunkenness where different games work best at different points. For example, you could start your Friday night off relatively sober and playing a bit of co-op shooter or a new RPG or something. Then, as the drunkenness increases, you move toward games that don’t depend as much on reflexes, attention, or making good decisions: old favorites, turn-based strategy, etc. Finally, once you reach fully shit-housed territory, it’s back to co-op games and games where you can shout at your friends and/or turn into a drinking game: Halo, Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, etc.

    Frankly, if you’ve never played Mario Kart: “Drunk Driving” with a room full of people until 3AM and then passed out waiting for your next Smash Bros. match to start, you may have missed out on some core memories.

      When I used to play WOW I discovered that my dps went way up when I was like 6 beers in. Then around 9-10 I hit the point where my spatial awareness stopped working and I became a liability. Good times.

      Also I just keep getting better at Halo until I pass out as long as it’s FFA mode and I don’t have to think about who’s friend or foe.
