Public service announcement

I just have to say after 2L of Whisky I' ve come to the inevitable conclusion that I love you guys. Ah yeah I do, in a fucked up twisted way Kikizo is like our second family.

You guys know what games I like but you may not know what sports I like. The truth is the only sport I like, the only sport I' m good at is drinking and the 24th/25th of December is my annual drink fest. It' s a time where I drown my brain with the sweet amour of my favorite drug.

I don' t know where I' m going with this in my drunken stupor but in the likely case that I' m too fucked up to turn on my computer in the next few days I want you guys to understand how I feel about this gaming movement and all of us willing to devote all this personal time to our common passion.

I have more in common with you guys than I do with my real family. So to that end I raise my glass with the hope that next year brings as much excitement and furious arguments as 2006 proved. Cheers!

Uhhhh.... Cheers? Happy Hangover dude.

LOL WTF?

I' m pretty articulate when I' m drunk, at least when I type, it' s a different story when I try to speak. You can see the words you want to say, the words you should say but it just seems like too much effort so you just pick a few key syllables and hope the other guy speaks gibberish.

The best part is that I still have some Canadian Club left.

I was going to say Agent, your grammar is like... AMAZING!! When you' re drunk
of course... how..

How does that work???

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

I just have to say after 2L of Whisky I' ve come to the inevitable conclusion that I love you guys.

I just find it funny that the ultimate steryotypical drunk sentence still works on the web. Well, just goes to show how little I know about getting toasted & posting on Kikizo. Seriously though, we are kinda' like a long-distance dysfunctional, verbally abusive & drunk sort of family.

Edit:

after 2L of Whisky

Jeezus Christ. You know that' s enough to kill most normal sized people right? Your liver must look like a burnt Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.

Why is this a Public Service announcement? They usually include a long drawn out yawn-athon about why your Water, Electricity and And sanitation facilities are being cut, at the same time and still being billed.

Instead I get a guy telling me he loves me and that We are his second Family.


.. thinking about it, I perfer this

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

To answer some questions, I didn' t actually drink 2L of Whisky. It was actually 2 750ml bottles not including the whine I drank with supper and the Beer I drank all day. It wasn' t the most I ever drank in 24 hours but it was up there. Also to answer the question on how I can be so articulate while drunk. Try it. It' s not as hard to type as it is to speak while piss drunk. I had to keep one eye closed as I was seeing double and it took me about ten minutes to type the message (after reading each sentence over and over) but I knew what I wanted to say.

The title was probably my attempt at a joke.

You should see me play on live in games like COD2 or 3, I pwn my friends when I drink. I' m a decent player in fast paced console FPS' s but when I' m drunk it' s like I' m possessed (sp). That' s what I can never understand, how I can play better in a game that relies on reflexes and spacial analysis when drunk. I mean drunk to the point where I can' t pronounce a single word and I have to fight to avoid passing out. My friends think it' s hilarious.

One thing is for sure, everything is more fun when drunk.

Hmm, you should try playing as Shun in Virtua Fighter while drunk.

Try playing Katamari Damacy when drunk. Let me know if it reverts to normalicy.

I' m only good with console first person shooters. Fast pace FPS' s like COD2 and COD3. Those are my games, anything else it would be very obvious that I' m impaired.

hmm, yeah people say they are better at fps games while drunk I call it BS. My friends said they were better and I remained sober to find out. Nope, worse actually and they just think they are better. Then they go on to say there is this perfect state after a few beers where your aiming is just smoother. No, there isn' t.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

I think a person can play better at a game they are very good at after one or two beers. This depends greatly on the person though. I' m not saying I play better when drunk but I play better then most when drunk.

Just the other day I had at least 7 beers and I played about 8 rounds of COD3 with random people. Every single round (except for one where I finished third) I was first place on my team. The maps were pretty full, about 20 people. Granted these were just random people, not the regular group I play with.

As I was saying before I believe some people actually can play better after one or two beers. Take myself for example. I' m an anxious person, not the type of anxiety where I need to take pills but I' m usually pretty edgy. If I have a good night sleep and nothing is bothering me I might be able to play my best but most of the time I don' t.

I use the sniper almost exclusively and often the mistake I keep repeating is that I take too long to make my shot. It seems that if I miss it' s always because I wait one second too late and I lose my target or I get shot myself. I have trouble hitting a moving target in COD3 as everyone probably does.

However when I drink one or two beers, I' m in that perfect spot where I don' t feel the controller anymore and I don' t have to think about the buttons. I think of an action and it happens. It' s as if I never miss, and it takes me 1/4th the time to make my shot. Even if the other guy had a scope on me first often I can nail him before he shoots. It doesn' t even feel like I have to aim, it feels like I only zoom to get the acuracy I need and shoot at the same moment. Of course I die more often but even if I die 50% more I kill twice as much. It really depends on the person. Anyone with anxiety can better their game with a drink, I' m sure of it. A drink will calm my mind, so my thoughts don' t wander to things that are stressing me out. Obviously not everyone has this problem to begin with so a drink wouldn' t have the same effect.

Speaking of which if you have a higher tollerence for alcohol not only will it take more drinks to get drunk but the first few drinks will have a different effect on a person who has a lower tollerance.

Once I drink about 3 beers it seems like I hit a wall and the beer turns into a disadvantage. I can still hold my own though.

Well at least you all have fun when drunk. My darkness only grows. Playing Burnout after a few drinks feels good.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I have trouble hitting a moving target in COD3 as everyone probably does.

Really? Stationary targets drive me nuts on a thumbstick. I' ve thought it out, and in CoD:3, if your mark is running full speed I lead my target by 1/2 an inch. If they' re sprinting, I give it a whole inch. It' s basic marksman skills, but I guess people don' t realise that their reflexes don' t equal what they' re seeing.

I use the sniper almost exclusively

Same here, I usually end up with the unscoped K98, although if it' s a big map I' ll take a scope. BTW, seriously off topic, have you tried the new map Ghost? I' m busy with work, so I haven' t been able to try it yet.

Yeah I tried it, I like it. At first I found it challenging for a sniper as the map actually seems to favor machine guns believe it or not. Or could just have been that I wasn' t playing very well. However once I found the tower I was picking them off like flies. It' s a solid map, I' m more pleased with it than I am with the free maps that came with Gears. I just bought some MS points the other day so I can buy the other maps coming out.

Lately I' ve been playing like shit though,I haven' t been playing as often and I have some things on my mind and it' s fucking up my game. Still we should play team battle sometime. I don' t care if we' re on the same team or not. I always pick random teams anyways.

Yeah, I noticed that scoped wasn' t amazing, but bolt actions in general are pretty solid. Unlike the M1, the K98 un-scoped makes you slow down a little & take a good shot, without having to worry about what you' re going to do come close quarters.

Still we should play team battle sometime. I don' t care if we' re on the same team or not. I always pick random teams anyways.

Nah, much better if you' re on different teams. Bragging rights & all that.

I should be on sometime tonight, depends on how far I' m slacking off with exams. Hopefully we can game then. (Sighs) Back to writing detailed papers on Micronesia.
