Have you ever played the James Bond drinking game?
Every time Bond utters in a movie:
Bond, James Bond
You have to skoll your drink.
Of course there are many varieties of drinking games, countless card drinking games.
But my question is:
Have you ever treated WoW as a drinking game?
- Maybe it’s skoll every achievement.
- Maybe it’s skoll every Boss (Win or loose)
My Drinking Game
Now I must admit (and I have mentioned before) that I play with a group of friends. Apart from the attraction of playing a great game, with mates there is another motivation.
You see 10 odd (ok maybe a fee more) years ago we were a little less responsible. Back then we would travel from wherever, to wherever, get a belly full while enjoying each other’s company, then head back home to wherever home is.
Admittedly home was much closer to wherever back then, but the point of my boozing story is, now (a decade or two down the track) we live on opposite sides of our spread out city, have partners and for most of us, children.
So the regular 1+ night a week physical catchup is out of the question. We maybe catch physically up once every 2-3 months.
Not PuG night, Pub night
However, every Friday night is still Pub night. No not PuG night, Pub night. We instance/raid with our favorite non-non-alcoholic beverage at our side.
Now I don’t think we have ever done a WoW drinking game explicitly, but near the end of TBC, Kara was starting to resemble one.
Often the next day we would hear apologies from healers about their literal faceroll healing. Yes, asleep at the WoW. Other of use would be more D&D, and I’m not talking Dungeons and Dragons, more Drunk and Disorderly.
Sarth 3DD (Drunken DPS)
It just makes me wonder if any guilds out there dissatisfied with easy mode WoLK raids are now organizing Drinking Achievement nights.
You know, less Sarth 3D (Dragons), more Sarth 3DD (Drunken DPS).
Achievements such as:
Drunk and Dis-Dragonly
Or
Slime Shotted
Or Maybe
Stormwind Slammers
Do you run with a (closet handicap)?

Better change that password fast!
Orange juice (without anything added) is my standard drink while raiding. I have it with a banana during our 5 min mid-raid break. It makes miracles for my level of attention! But then our raiding days are thursday-sunday-tuesday = work the following day…
Late friday/saturday night is different. I’ll never play drunk, but I can have a glass of wine or a drink and some snacks. Not so much that it will affect my gameplay seriously though. (At least I don’t think so
).
Bah I know that this probably makes me sound utterly boring. But I guess that WoW is a drug in itself, I don’t need much more than the game to relax and excape reality for a while.
Playing WoW Drunk is rough. All the bright lights an movement makes my head spin. I tihnk there could be some good naxx ones if you pugged it.
Every time someone gets hit by Locust swarm, chug. Everytime someone dies to Heigan, chug etc etc.
I tried to play drunk one time, the screen was blurry and everything was lower level than they should be. . . jk
I’ve only played wow drunk a couple times because normally those activities are mutually exclusive, but when I did, I didn’t notice a difference. My variety of wow isn’t heavy on the fine motor skills. Now trying to play enter sandman in rock band while drunk. . .whole other problem. . .
We used to have “WoWtini Time” in our old guild which was a designated time for guildmates to get sloshed and chit chat over vent and to do some group pvp or other group activities.
How about “The Militarilitarily Wing”? Take a shot every time one of the Four Horsemen make a comment on your way to kill them and yell a comment back to them over vent.
Take a shot everytime someone dies on Heigan. If you are the person dying, take 2 shots and put a “dunce raid mark” over their head for the remainder of the raid.
Take a shot for every player to miss the jump to Thaddius. Take an extra shot for every player to cross polarities.
Any player caught DPSing out of a spark during Malygos takes a shot.
The officers of my guild (me included) tend to raid every friday night, together in lan, with loads of beer in the fridge. While there hasn’t been any active drinking game, it is not uncommon for explanations of boss tactics to become shorter and more obscure as the night progresses.
The performance of our players, unfortunately, degrades. I found this sad, and thought it worthy of an in depth analysis to construct myself a ui that would let me heal decently, even when drunk. I wrote about it on the plusheal fora:

I have been slack… or really busy.. one of the two (maybe both)… as such I haven’t yet had a chance to reply to you all…
But I beg of you, if you have the time, have a read of Zusterke’s post in the plusheal forums!
I’m not telling.. nope.. can’t make me talk.. You’ll just have to see if my speech ish shlightly schlerred near dthe end of thhhhe podcasht…

@Fimlys: Mmmmm…. You always sound so tired at the end of the blogcast… some hogwash about it being the wee hours of the morning… me thinks it’s a case of mourning the lack of wee…
Of course tired drunk.. but them they say fatigue is as big a killer on the roads as alcohol.
