Rant - Lesson learned: drinking games for movies with high body counts, from this point on, are a thing of the past for me.
Never again.
Here's the story - A couple of times a month, my college buddies and i usually get together for a few rounds or so. In order to spice things up, we sometimes play drinking games while watching movies or anime. You know, those drinking games where you need to take a shot each time something happens. Some of the stuff we've gotten wasted over has included:
Rurouni Kenshin OAVs - Kenshin slashes someone and blood bursts out in a spray.
Code Geass R1 - Lelouch uses the Geass.
Akira - Testuo uses his powers
Love Hina - Keitaro gets hit by one of the girls
Najica Blitz Tactics - pantyshots
Of course, there's always the classic one-shot-each-time-someone-dies game for bloody movies. Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk down, Aliens, etc, etc. So last saturday should have been just another one of those sessions. We had agreed for something bloody and NOT animated. We had agreed that one of us would supply the movie and that our friend should just "surprise" us with his choice.
Boy, were we surprised.
The booze and snacks were all set up, the stereo system was primed and the disc was placed into the player. The opening credits roll in, Dilios starts narrating and all six of us let out a collective gasp. Our point man had chosen 300.
No choice, we forge ahead with the movie. The first dozen minutes are purely dialogue. Things only start heating up when Leonidas kicks the emmisary into the pit. That's 7 shots right there within a minute. It's a good thing we only had Strong Ice, nothing harder. Then comes the first engagement at the Hot Gates. Glasses are filled as quickly as possible only to be downed a second later. The Spartans rack up kills faster than our hands and mouths can move.
We never finished the movie. The last thing i remember before passing out was Astinos being decapitated. That was only in the first hour of the movie but we had already finished more than one case. My buds similarly gave up soon afterwards.
I can still feel a bit of the hangover even until now.
Never again.
