    Watching someone play games drunk on youtube is really not entertaining, to me anyway. I've seen it done and watching someone slur their speech while cursing at a game they're stumbling their way through isn't fun to watch

    I'm not sure why anyone thinks that this is something the world needs.

    Sometimes I wonder if some of the disaffected DP peeps who no longer hang around create accounts like this just to make these stupid posts for laughs. Either that, or the latest forum upgrade included some kind of stupidity magnet. I believe I'd prefer the former; the second is kind of depressing, thinking that there are people out there who are really this asinine.
    You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?

    I'll throw in my two cents for some game suggestions that I think would lend themselves to entertaining drunk play:

    Super Mario Bros. Special by Hudson on your choice of either the NEC-PC8801 or Sharp X1. I suspect you'd need some emulation for this spectacle to happen. If you've never played this version of Mario before, don't even research let alone play the game until you film the youtube show.

    In a similar vein of "what the f*ck," how about Takeshi no Chōsenjō for the Famicom?

    The infamously bad Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the NES would be a worthy consideration.

    When you're really trashed, why not play some Sneak n' Peak on the 2600 by yourself? That could be infinitely hilarious.

    Now, to blow off some steam, play some Mike Tyson's Punch-Out to raise your spirits up again.

    uhh... let me return to this later. Actual "work" at my job calls.

    Alright, I'm back.

    China Warrior for the Turbografx-16 is mind numbing in its crappiness. There is a droning rhythm to its monotony that should play out in an interesting manner with an excess of alcohol.

    Gyromite on the NES with you operating R.O.B.'s controller with your bare foot. It would also be great if you had the actual robotic hunk of plastic to "man" controller two, as well.

    Duty calls again.

    so that came out a little more negative than i'd hoped. not necessarily piss-ass drunk. ive just noticed funny things have happened at parties where booze and video games mixed.

    Watching drunkruns on Youtube is like listening to someone singing karaoke. When it's someone you already know, it's fun, and if it's someone with a really well-honed wit, it's fun. The rest of the time it's just tedious as hell and bordering on obnoxious.

    Eh, even given what I said, I personally see no reason not to give it a shot - just don't get your hopes up, don't expect the experience to massage your ego, and don't expect a lot of enthusiasm from anyone else unless and until it's a success. If any of those things end up coming to pass, then you get to be very, very pleasantly surprised.

    Worst case scenario, you spent a night drunk and playing videogames and will spend a few days after that getting increasingly embarrassed at how unfunny it turned out to be - if you never, ever embarrass yourself when drunk, then you're clearly not drinking correctly.

    meh, i have some concrete ideas, and episodes planned out, but the drunk one was an idea that i haven't seen anyone really do. (maybe for good reason idk.) but you make a good point, if anything i get a drunk night playing games. cant hurt to try.

    Mode 7 would be a great name if your show focused on the Super Nintendo.

    Exactly. It doesn't seem like you know what you want to do, other than get on camera on YouTube for some reason.
