Super Mario

Right Nintendo players, both past and present, it is time to bust out a gaming system and play a Mario drinking game.

 Itsa time to a-put-a on-a my drinking cap!

There is only one rule for drinking in a Mario game: drink every time that Mario (or any other playable character) falls down a pit.

This may sound like too simple of a game, but the complexity lies in the vicious cycle that it presents. You have to consider that it includes those who are playing the game.

Thus, once Mario falls down a pit, not only will those happy little "you died" chords play, but the player will take a shot. And then they will fall down another. And take a shot. And then, the alcohol will lead them down another pit. To take another shot. To increase the chances of falling down a pit. To take a shot.

I am begging you that you pass out at some point. This is easily one of those games that could result in death.

 You're going to want to drink now, anyway, to forget this horror.

Recommended games: Any one that has multiplayer, so that more people jump down more pits. Especially recommended is the recent "New Super Mario Bros Wii", in which the multiplayer happens at the same time. 4 players at one time=much falling=much alcohol=much fun.

Enjoy, and mamma mia, please play safe.

Recommended drink: Something italian. Maybe wine. That way it'll also be safer. Trust me, it just requires a buzz, and then stuff will get awesome.

Thank you so much for to playing my game!

The Boondock Saints

In a little bit of a late honors of St. Patrick's Day (I'm only off by a week), I present to you a drinking game for Troy Duffy's "The Boondock Saints."

Now, "The Boondock Saints" is already a classic installment in the franchise of drinking films. The traditional version involves taking a shot every time that a character says "fuck". With it's 246 uses of the word, it's no surprise that viewers are hammered around the 30-minute mark. Aided by the unbelievable lull that the movie hits around the halfway point, I'm pretty certain that most people are asleep by the end.

Playing the same old drinking game is also dull, though, so here are a couple suggestions for different ways to drink your way to happiness.

Take a shot:

-Every time that there is a fade-out. You'll actually be wasted by the end of the opening credits.

-Every time that one of the brothers' 'Irish accents' slips.

-Anytime that, despite this movie being hinged on the "Suspension of Disbelief" principle, you still can't help thinking "Bullshit." (I'll accept swinging from a rope and taking out 8 gangsters...back-alley deaths in a dangerous Boston Neighborhood on St. Patrick's Day not only making the front page of the Boston Herald, but also instantly dragging in FBI investigators? Say it with me now, in an Irish accent, if you please. Bull-sheet. And don't get me started on Willem Dafoe's convincing disguise...if you haven't seen the movie, you'll know it when you see it.)

Recommended Drink:

Nothing too heavy, but nothing too light either. It's not quite as much as the "fuck" version, but it's still a considerable amount of alcohol going into your system. Play to your weight. Maybe go with something Irish, in honor of the movie's love. Or maybe vodka, to commemorate the Russians that are being slaughtered.

How This Is Gonna Go Down

Giving you the basic premise in a first post: this is a website devoted to establishing drinking games, based on movies, video-games, music, or simple activities, many of which are along the lines of something geeky or nerdy.

As such, I feel it only appropriate to start with off with this recommendation: read this entry, and take a shot of some sort of drink every time that I use the word 'shot,' 'alcohol,' or 'drinking game.'

Exactly What Is This?
As iterated at the top, this is a blog devoted to bringing readers such as you drinking games (drink). In case you aren't aware, drinking games (drink) are a form of entertainment during which participants watch a movie, TV show, or anything along those lines. At certain, predefined points, participants will take a shot (drink) of some sort of alcohol (drink), usually harder varieties.
For example, one very popular drinking game (drink) is to watch The Boondock Saints, and take a shot (drink) every time that a character drops the f-bomb. Most viewers are unconscious by the 30-minute mark, which might explain why everyone thinks that that movie is such a masterpiece.


Why make this blog?
Well, for one thing, these games can be pretty awesome. For example, my friends and I actually played one based on Nickelodeon cartoon "Avatar: the Last Airbender," for my 21st birthday party. It was pretty awesome, actually. It also just goes to show how far the realm of drinking games (drink) can go. I mean, there's potential for a "Dora the Explorer" drinking game for Pete's sake!
Drinking games (drink) aren't just a way to get wasted, though. They're a way to make commentary, note specific film-making and acting styles, and even rip apart shows and movies for their flaws.

Anything I Should Know Before Playing the Games?
First off, I'm just gonna put out the disclaimer here: these are mostly joking. Many of the games involved are going to involve absurd amounts of drinking. I am not saying that you should not play any of the games, but I am asking that you use discretion. I am not taking responsibility for anything that might happen. I don't want to get people suing me because Jimmy Frat-boy here had to go to the hospital, because he watched "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" and took a shot (drink) every time that John Connor is a complete moron, as opposed to the badass savior that he's supposed to become. He should have known his limits. You should probably be more concerned that Jimmy was watching that piece of shit in the first place.
On that note, it should be noted that this blog will contain language, sexual references, and perhaps even some violent descriptions of what should be done to Kevin Smith for what he did in "Clerks II." (Hint: I did not like that movie.) As such, anyone who is very young or innocent, please leave the building now.
After all, this is, as well, a site with much basis in alcohol (drink). Please, be as law-abiding as possible. I am not going to take responsibility if some 13 year old punk decided to be cool and play one of these games with a bottle of Jägermeister. Please drink responsibly.
Lastly, enjoy this site. And feel free to leave me comments and suggestions. Input is always a welcome thing.
