Hangover Gaming
D Sane \| 2:04 PM on 03.13.2009	6 comments

I dunno about you, but one of my favorite things to do when I'm hungover is play a game that I've beaten before. Lately, I've been playing Ocarina of Time, but other examples are the Metal Gear Solid series, Mario 64, Twilight Princess, A Link to the Past, Okami, Castle Crashers, and others. I dunno why it is, but for some reason it's really one of my favorite things to do after a long night of getting hammered. Actually, me and my friends love drinking and playing games so much that we've even come to describe the activity of being really drunk as "Super Smashed Bros." and "Warhammered Online".

Gaming while hungover beats watching TV cause it keeps me active mentally. And my friends who get wasted and pass out on the couch enjoy watching me play the games. You don't have to talk to people so that's nice. Also, gaming lends itself to sitting in a dark room, and we all know that the sun is the arch nemesis of some one who is hungover.

I thought I'd more articulate with this blog, but I'm actually hungover at the moment.

What are your favorite games to play when hungover? Bonus points: What are your favorite games to get drunk to? (mine are Mariokart, Rock Band, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Warioware Smooth Moves)

I just wake up and get to drinking again. What's stopping you?

Primo

Playing hungover: Saints Row 2, Flower, Pixeljunk Monsters

When I'm hungover I like playing games that don't involve solving puzzles or thinking.

While drunk with friends: Fifa 09, Little Big Planet, Smash Bros, Soul Calibur, Streets of Rage, Road Rash, General Chaos, Toe Jam and Earl

While drunk alone: SOCOM, Killzone 2

Actually, I don't like playing puzzle solving games when I'm drunk either..

Mario Kart 64 & Mario Tennis can be played in any state of mind because they are amazing.

Krow

Action platformers and Mario Kart is where it's at.

When I'm drunk, I'm a shitty gamer! Mario Kart, I'm all over the place!!

I really like Halo multiplayer when I'm drunk. But I'm the only one who likes to play it. And pretty much any rhythm game is boss too, it feels so great when the notes come down the screen in a blur and you can still manage to hit them.

Fighting game is to drunken lads as penis is to vagina.

When I'm not gaming, I like to watch terrible movies and laugh at them, usually while drinking. I also like to spend a weekend or two watching the entire series of shows that I like. I work as a tech assistant to a real estate agent in Austin, TX.
