One of the greatest things in the world is drinking while gaming, but one of the worst things in the world is when you finish your drink and you have to stop gaming in order to make another. Sure beer solves this issue by being a delicious drink that you don't have to mix, and so do shots, but the former can get boring and the latter can knock you unconcious before you get done playing. What to do!? Nonpolynominal Labs has the answer.

The one man lab has come up with Adult Mario and Bartris. When you play either of these games you mix a drink while your playing. In Adult Mario you get rum every time you kill an enemy and Coke every time you collect a coin. In Bartris you get Coke for brown pieces, rum for gray pieces and water for blue pieces. Complete a few levels while sipping on a drink and by the time your done with that one you should have a new one ready to go. The quality will probably suck, but you can only blame yourself and your lack of gaming skills for that.

If you're interested in seeing this sucker in action you can either head to Vienna and check it out or wait until the machine comes to San Francisco. My guess is that the drinks are equally poorly mixed in either location. Bartris is below the jump.

...so that you can make a drink, that absolutely sucks.

Basically. :P It's so cool though. Maybe if the blue in Bartis weren't water. Not a huge mixing guy but surely something could replace water and still not burn through your stomach lining. A juice perhaps?

I'll make my Rhum'n'coke myself thank you very much.

It's a cool concept however.

Why do I think this is the answer to life, the universe and everything I've ever hoped and dreamed of?

I love you guy who invented this!

I'm pretty sure my bladder would explode before I'm drunk...

Plus I already have something like that. It's called a polite favor from my wife.

They should install a flamethrower that immolates you when you grab the flower.

I loved 'Designated Driver' mode in Bartris. Very clever.

Not to go all tough guy, but if you just drink something or another straight, you can game, and not worry about mixing beverages.

While I would have no use for this, it's a completely captivating and innovative idea. I honestly have no clue how this was pulled off, even when the guy explains it.

I would agree, except people manage to be incredibly stupid when they're drunk. I hate drunk people with a passion, and I hate stupid, there's too much as it is without moronic humans having to manufacture it as well.

That's amazing. I personally don't drink, but I'd still like to see someone else use it

I don't even drink and that's still sick as fuck.

So, is this really current, or did Matt just stumble upon this while he was searching for an "Adult Mario Video"?

If it was the latter, I salute Matt for taking his "love" for gaming to a whole new level.

doh ho

That is seriously One of the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life. An immersive experiance is like getting on Soarin' at Disney world. That was just kind of a joke, so why even waste the time.
