garyp Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 I never realised how much drinking Guinness affects your space inveader playing. I found a pub that has the original Space Invaders - haven't played it for years. And my typing is still not as bad as Atari70s !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahfish Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 i guess on guinness you play with two spaceships .... and instead of 05000 points at the end, you get 0500005000 points .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 "The story goes something like this basically. The Guiness beer factory had been around for years and years and years and they'd never cleaned out the vats that the beer is brewed in. They cleaned out the vats and they found rat bones in the bottom of them. So when they cleaned them all out and brewed it again the beer didn't taste the same. Now, rather then the obviously disgusting option of putting dead rats in the beer they put meat in the vats still." Al Barr - Dropkick Murphys. They are a really great irish style band with some punk rock ties (even tho Al is Scottish, the origional singer Mike McColgan was irish so they can pass lol) and if any of you want to see the lyrics to the song, its some good stuff.. here is a link.. they also do a great cover of the old union anthem "Which side are you on?" Good Rats sidenote of irony, my gf was born over in kiltland:P and refuses to listen to this music. last game i played drunk was super breakout.. I realise this is really off topic..

zekish Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 I think the last game I played while drinking was Kaboom! Kaboom is prolly my favorite game. Sometimes, in between periods of a Flyers game, I'll take a break and play a couple games on the game TV (though it'd be neat to hook the 2600 up to the 50 incher). Of course, there's sometimes drinking while watching the game. But, believe it or not, I still kick ass at Kaboom! when I've been drinking Lagers. Doesn't really hamper me at all. = [ 08-12-2001: Message edited by: Zekish ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
