What the hell have I started?
The Drunk Thread
I'm back and sober now. Nearly fell out of my chair laughing reading what I had posted last night. That's some good shit.
@Harkat my man, keep it real.
@IzzyGraze glad I could be of service, though I'm dissapointed by the lack of other drunken nonsensical long winded ramblings on here. I came to peruse and am sorely disappointed.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunt.
I'm not horribly drunk right now, but tipsy enough.
All right, so I just completed ME3. DONT WORRY I WONT SPOIL ANYTHING. Afterwards, I had some beer and boom, I start feeling increasingly melancholic (in the worst possible way) and sad. ATM I'm thinking about depressing, yet awe-inspiring space sci-fi stuff. Y'know, like Ender's Game and The Forever War and stuff. I actually never read The Forever War, but the idea of it makes me depressed.
Does anyone else have this? Thinking about infinity, space and stuff, in a kinda non-scientific way often makes me really sad, even though I bloody love space opera and sci-fi. I'm too drunk/tipsy to coordinate my thoughts well enough to explain why, but the feeling is there.
Thanks to the OP for making this thread, great idea duder, you earned yourself some respect-stripes.
EDIT: I have an example. I'm reading (slowly) through Revelation Space at the moment, and there's this ship which is really gigantic, big enough to hold hundreds of thousands of people apparently, like a city or several cities. In the book, it's almost abandoned, with just a few crew members alive. That makes me sad to think about. There's also stuff with cryo-sleep where people wake up in entirely different civilizations with the knowledge that their loved ones are long gone. STUFF LIKE THAT. It makes me really sad.
too drunk to actually read the OP thingy but im assuming its just a plce for drunk GB ppl to post and not be banned/whatever. I made a thread about this just now but its prollly gona be locked i guess, but fuck, how do u become a mod?? some dude shuts down a Happy Things thread not cus people are being awful internet beings, but because he thinnks they MIGHT post "spammy" shit? In a "what makes you happy?" thread? Fuck, man. It was in the Off Topic forums. Where can laid back, non gaming, positive chat happen on this site? I guess nowhere? This all sounds super angry n negative, but I really do love this site haha. F whatever their mod admission policies are tho. :(
I was drunk, less drunk starting to sober up, I need convincing to stop sobering up and maybe make myself an Irish car bomb.
@RedCricketChase: I hear you man, I haven't had any threads of mine get locked or anything (don't really post much anyway, more of a GB lurker) but I have perused some locked ones and it seems like some of the mods are sometimes really uptight and controlling. I have seen quite a few locked with a comment like I don't see this thread going anywhere, or this might turn into something.
It just makes me think wtf, who gave you the right to do that, you're a mod... go moderate content that's there not try your hand at being psycic. Maybe the thread you just shut down would have turned into something magical. Your opinions on topics are irrelovent if something is posted in the off-topic board and it doesn't breach code of conduct rules or whatever.
That's so funny, I just had an amazing victory where I kicked a Ryze's ass. Twisted Fate 4 lyfeI am drunk off an amazing victory in League of Legends just now. Ryze 4 lyfe
Nine months of total sobriety swept away thanks to my good friends Yuengling and Guiness. Glorious. Also, I miss weed.

If the mods coulds kindly read these two paragraphs, that would be cool :] Now I will crawl in bed and read Kleptok's glut of Formspring questions til I fall asleep. Maybe the mods will've shut down all the threads by the time I wake up, and make my impotent mild rage meaningless/ prophetic/ really obviously drunk.

Fluck Gamer and Sweep.
Half the time I see a locked thread, I wish it had kept going just so I could experience the oft incoming shitstorm, but nooooooo the mods just won't allow that! You can tell I've been drinking because I said oft. Plus I googled oft to make sure I wouldn't sound really stupid, now that's drinking responsibly!
I had a pretty bad dream/nightmare about huge ass spiders, and the ground was caving in whenever i tried to squash them. This all was set in Germany are some reason, so I guess I am never going there again.

Sounds horrible.
I had a dream once when I was 12 that sounds sort of similar.
I awoke naked in the middle of a giant wheat field during mid day. The sun was in the middle of the sky and it lit up the entire field with immense light and heat and the wheat was only about the length of my ankles, but the purpose of the wheat was so that I couldn't see the ground. To my horror when I stood up from my slumber I noticed a large, dead opossum crushed underneath my feet, with its blood and entrails caressing my toes. Being deathly afraid of rodents and opossums especially, I screamed and jolted away from the carcass, but when I did so another opossum (this one alive) appeared from behind me and charged at my feet threatening to bite me with it's huge fangs. Panicked, I jumped away and started to run. As I ran through the field that never ends, hundreds of opossums appeared from beneath the wheat. Refusing to stop running, I stepped on them and felt their small bones crack and snap from beneath my feet as I dodged their bites and thrashes. This continued until I spotted a lone tree planted at the top of a hill. Exhausted and still horrified, I made my way to the top of the hill and climbed the tree with speed as hundreds of opossums hissed and clawed after me. I felt safe until I looked up and noticed the biggest and ugliest opossum I have ever seen in both reality and imagination. It was the size of a large lion and as it's eyes met mine it snapped it's jaws at my face and devoured my head, followed by my entire body.

- Taken from my blog, which you should go and read because whoa, son! -
"Yeah, woohoo! It's da fucking Christmas. So, I went to a party and got a little drunk. That doesn't mean I don't think life is great and so I'm writing a blog about it.
Also, the Spec Ops: The Line "bad" ending is great and it achieves something, so far, unique in the world of videogames. It achieves a sense of transformation, that nothing else in this industry has even grasp. You, your character, has changed in the course of those 6-to-8 hours of bland-not-really-interesting gameplay. The actions Cpt. Walkertakes, not only changes the narrative and the world surrounding him, but it also changes the "player". Your feelings, thoughts and beliefs towards the situation, the characters and the overall story is so different from the point you click "New Game" to the point you "finish" the game. There's a metamorphose during that period that, either you like it or not, changes you, the character, and you, the player.
All of these are perfectly illustrated in that ending. The blank, distant eyes of Cpt. Walker says it all. He's no longer a nicely labelled man. He no longer fits the socially acceptable role models. He's a monster. He is as far away from the human race as a person can be. "Twisted" is the closest adjective to describe him, but even that doesn't come close to the truth. He consumes all and everything consumes him. A world-eater in human form. A brutal force of Nature, only possibly battled by something as destructive as himself.
Nothing good can ever come out of that Devil's hole. That Devil's hole governed by Captain Martin Walker.

Did I say this blog was about how I thought life was great? Apparently, this was a blog about Spec Ops: The Line. I think I'm okay with that."
