Disregard everything John says. He's clearly gone insane.

Yay for alcohol. I can't give much opinion on it really :(.

Quick opinions

This isn't big enough for it's own thread, but i'd like some feedback on it, so here it is :P. Any criticisms is good :). It's just a mini game (1 of 4).

No Loader, sorry :(.

The game looks slick. Very slick. But, you need to UP the contrast man. It's hard to tell whats what and after awhile of playing it all blurs together. Besides that, it's been done before. Throw in some power ups and downs and make it more unique.

Again though, I love the style.

Gogol Bordello is amazing.

Cheers, i might remove them, although i like having them in time with the beat of the song :P.

Thanks <3. I just tried to keep it simple, so no power ups, its just a mini game. There's going to be 4 games/4 animations, so its not a 20 minute play thing. Anyway, the back effects were supposed to be a distraction, to make it more challenging :P.

Anymore?

Same. Except she's not my girlfriend yet, and i've never been drunk around her. So i guess not. But alcohol has helped me get a lot of hot girls.

Although in the past few weeks, i've been thinking it can actually be quite bad for you. Someone i know can't drink for a whole month because if she does, she'll get liver damage. She got really really pissed on night, got her stoomach pumped and now has to go a month of soberness. Her blood was like 3.8% alcohol. You're dead at 4 or something.

Not going to stop me drinking though, I'll just stick to beer and i'll become paraletic way before i'm in any condition to have my stomach pumped. Vodka's the evil stuff that results in your stomach being pumped.

Although, this wont stop me drinking vodka.

Alcohol
I found this game. Think of the most pissed you've ever been and calculate your blood alcohol level. After seeing this, I'm guessing it was probably 0.38 or something instead of 3% alcohol that this girl had.

Anyway, so whats your best score? Mine is:

number of drinks: 8
type: 500ml 5%
weight: 140
hours drinking: 4

BAC %: 0.21
analysis: Obvious Impairment, illegal in ALL states

BAC 0.20% - Feeling dazed/confused or otherwise disoriented. May need help to stand/walk. If you injure yourself you may not feel the pain. Some people have nausea and vomiting at this level. The gag reflex is impaired and you can choke if you do vomit. Blackouts are likely at this level so you may not remember what has happened.

I want to try this based on another time i got really really pissed, but i don't know what best describes regular smirnoff vodka under the "What were you drinking" option?

Isn't it great how alcohol scare sites can be turned into games?

Quick Opinions

I like the game but if your not over the screen the bubbles will still pop. Power ups would make the game so much more interesting and maybe make tyhe outline of the bubbles a bit bigger so you can see them easier

The problem is that if you drink enough, you cant remember how much you've drunk. Catch-22 type situation. I have had like half a dozen nights where I just cant remember any of what happened. I hate when that happens because it kinda feels like a waste.
Usually I'm pretty responsible.
Drink is good.
Here's a picture of me at my friends cocktail party just before new year. Me and the other guy were making drinks. I'm on the right. I'm not drunk there, but I'm tipsy. Maybe later I'll post one when I'm drunk. Other people should post drunken pictures too.

lolwut? That game sucks. A maxium of 8 drinks? I had 9 drinks in the pub, before I went to the club on Monday. Also there's a severe lack of VodkaRedBull on that drinks list. Also why is the max time 5 hours? What about when you have an all dayer?

Any ways, my BAC for Monday night was probably around .15 - .18%

It's not actually as judge-like as it seems in that photo. Plus I normally have it behind my ears.

RE: Quick opinions

Its pretty good. When's it coming out?

I also remember that I volunteered to do an animation or something for it.

I think the distinctive quirk about my drinking is my hair gets fucked up..

Hooray for cheap beer! I just spent a week in London two weeks ago. I absolutely loved it. So much fun. Do you go clubbing a lot? Have you been to Fabric in Farmington?

RE: RE: Alcohol
This is me pissed (i'm the one wearing a top) enjoying sticking crap to a flatmate's door.

Fortunatly for me, i didn't forget it, because when i walked past the door i was reminded.

RE: RE: Alcohol

I had light wine(I believe it was) once and I just got a little tipsy.. and that took a lot of winejust to do that XD

Never had beer or anything though :/ , only 15, maybe when I get in my later years of high school xD

Drinking

Ah, the one topic that brings the BBS together. This topic has lasted the entire day. Cheers.

Re: Drinking

I'm never here to talk about this kind of stuff... pfft.

but... not like I would anyway.

Overclocking

I currently have my 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo overclocked to 3.2Ghz. Whats a suitable speed? I have a tuniq tower 120 coming in and I'm gonna try and hit 3.6Ghz soon.

Bought Some Albums

At school, I can't normally buy albums, so I had to stock up. I bought four albums today which would be the following: Blood Sex Sugar Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin, Abbey Road by The Beatles, and Reise, Reise by Rammstein. Its nice to finally be able to listen to Maxwell's Silver Hammer without watching The Story of Maxwell Edison(the flash movie).

Carded

I got carded when I bought GTA: Vice City Stories today. Like, what the fuck. I hardly look 16 by any means. Its crap, I can buy porn, cigarettes, and even liquor in the right store without being carded but I have to get carded by EB Games because they got exposed by 20/20 or sued by some bitches or whatever the fuck it is. Its the parents responsibility to limit what their children see, not EB Games and not the government.

Drinking

I don't drink much often. Sometimes I drink just two beer. I also try and keep it good beer but sometimes that cannot be helped. I tend to stick with Yuengling but thats a pretty small brand so some of you may not have heard of it, especially those not around Pennsylvania where its brewed. Its quite good though. There have been times I've gotten completely retarded though. I've had over half a bottle of jager and then some on some nights. I just so happen to have a picture of me when drinking, but the fact I have a fork hanging out of my mouth really is unrelated to that fact. I was eating some angel food cake my female asian friend had made. In fact, I drank little that night.

I don't drink. I guess that makes me out of the system...or just smart.

Woah, now's the perfect time to start. If you wait any longer, by the time you start drinking, everyone will be better drinkers than you already. They'll be doing like 10 shots at a time and guzzling down barrells of ethanol, and you'll be there sipping on your 2.0% tesco value cider, trying not to be sick.

There's nothing smart about purposefully not using a substance which could solve all your life problems and give you the best memories of your life.

Vodka was my drink of choice for a long time in college, since its taste is pretty clean. I eased myself into it really well, in that I kept increasing how much I drank without ever getting sick or ending up with a hangover. I got to the point where I could just pour a glass and drink it like water. I never bothered with chasers, either.

Long story short, I overdid it a bit one night... 22 shots within a couple of hours. I don't remember how it ended, but I was unconscious for 12 hours and sick for an entire week afterward. I never threw up, though, which probably made things even worse. I'm pretty sure I almost died.

A couple of weeks passed and I didn't think anything of the long-term effects. Then one day I poured myself the usual glass of vodka, and, surprise, for the first time ever, my taste buds were not happy with this plan. I've never fully recovered (this was years ago), and I swear that 2 beers now will have the same effect that 6 shots of vodka used to have.

So it's cheaper now! That's the moral of this story, I guess. Whatever doesn't kill you only saves you money.

sure if you dont want to be popular, you do want to be popular dont you masterswordman?

I think its fine to not want to drink, but not to have never tried it, and not to preach about how its bad. Thats just being arrogant. But the same goes for someone who wants to say how great it is to drink so they can sway someone else. You need to look experience things for yourself and make your decision.

Anyway, Cybex's statement kinda reminded me of a quote by Homer Simpson that holds a special place in my heart.

"To alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."
