Video Games and Alcohol? There’s a ‘Mix’ for That!

Video games and alcohol go together like Men and Women, Water and Boats, Console and Controller (I could go on and on, but you get the point ~ lol!). But Gaming and Booze?  ~ That’s what the new hype is about according to one blog. If any of you have heard of  ‘The Drunken Moogle’ founded in 2009 by college student Mitch Hutts, then you know exactly what I’m talking about.

‘The Drunken Moogle’, is full of anything that has to do with alcohol and video games. This Blog contains articles from drunken gaming rampages, to Halo shot glasses to recipes for the coolest gaming related drinks. If you can think of a combination…’The Drunken Moogle’ probably either has it or will let you post your recipe for it.

Their latest drink concoction is the Nukem, or Duke Nukem Forever Cocktail. So guess what? I tried it last night with a mixture of Black Ops Escalation DLC, and it was a heck of a morning getting up but last night was one of the best nights I’ve had in a long time! So if you’re planning on playing and drinking a Nukem, I suggest that you call in to your job the night before.

The recipe is below for those who might also want to try it, and remember to ‘Drink and Game Wisely’ 😉

 

 

Nukem (Duke Nukem Forever Cocktail)

Ingredients:

  1. 1 glass Mello Yellow
  2. 1 shot vodka
  3. 1 splash spiced rum
  4. 1 splash moonshine (or any other high proof liquor)

Directions: Mix the first three ingredients and pour into a glass.  Float your moonshine on top (we used moonshine because it’s the closest thing to, you know, nuclear waste or gasoline.  You can buy “moonshine” from most liquor stores, but any high proof alcohol will do).  Nuke that ‘splody barrel and ignite the moonshine.  Enjoy the flames, then extinguish and serve.

Ghost Recon: FS – Nigeria Walkthrough

I’m aware that a few members of the community are not favorites of the GR series. Yet with their careful planning and redesigning of their upcoming latest GF: FS edition, we cannot ignore how well they are incorporating the Newest and Latest Technology of Warfare…into their gaming.

For a long time now, we have been stuck with only a couple of trailer videos. But now they’ve given us a ‘walkthrough’ video of the game: GR: FS – Nigeria Walkthrough.

I’m sure that by the time the game actually comes out people will have changed their minds about the game, especially with how they’ve incorporated the XBox 360’s ‘Kenect’  to work with their game. Watch the video, and let us know what you think? And of course, all replies to this article are welcomed:

 

Name: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Release date: TBA
Platform(s): PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS
Publisher(s): Ubisoft
Developer(s): Ubisoft Paris
