It was only 11173000 or something like that. But saying that I have never done it again without drinking.

Budweiser is the king of beers

budweiser is donkey piss and stole its name from the legitimate czech budweiser, but yeah a few beers can help (not more than 2/3 though)

And so, to commemorate:

Went to a shmupmeet
I played all night
I drank 16 beers
And I started up Slap Fight

But now I am jaded
I'm a real balls-up
I'm crashing into power-ups
Too drunk to shmup

Drinking makes you forget the horrible.
Like credit feeding

WTF dude. You're English... I would strongly reconsider what I admit in public...even if it is a forum.

Cool. Ironically enough, I was drinking the same exact beer when I 1CC it! Which was the only time I ever did. I guess I let up on it a little afterwards.
Still, I would like to be more proficient at it though.

So what is advised then?
1 1/2 beers then play and conquer........

Yeah something like that, I think it loosens the senses a little.

Its just hard to find good beer in the Gas station, so I just buy bud.

yea that happens to me sometime after a few vodka's you play better.

To reach new heights, try: two cups of coffee + two beers. Please allow for bathroom breaks.

More research on this subject is needed. If anyone else gets a particularly good run at a shmup when combined with a drink,

-post the name of the shmup
-post the drink you were using (and optimal quantity... estimated)

Well I tend to do much better when I'm chilled out after a couple of coca-cola's or cups of tea. I guess acholl is a way of relazing the body, if you are tense then you are bound to be jumpy and jumpy is bad when the slightest twich can result in you flying a you're aircraft of choice into a near by bullet or projectile.

I love shmupping on a Saturday or Sunday morning, hungover and drinking coffee. I do well at those times.

I tend to shmup a bit better (sometimes far better) after 3-4 drinks. Any more than that though, and I'm horrible. Buzzing is good for the shmup. Drunk is bad.

it's true, i do best with 1 strong trappist (say one Rochefort 10/Westmalle), 2 coffees and a few bowls. drink the coffee after the beer.
i'm ready for the tour de france.

Ahhh...man. That's hysterical.

Although now I have a feeling that I'll have the Dead Kennedys playing in my head all day...

thats funny, i thought a lot of you guys would be down on high scores achieved while drinking...or other such activities. i beat my ddpdoj high score by over 3 million while under (the very slight!) influence.

I don't drink, but I have found that having a smoke before gaming can help. Makes things easier when you're feeling real relaxed and not concentrating too hard.

3 shots Grey Goose + 1 Red Bull = Amazing shmuping abilities unlocked (AKA selling soul to devil for increased shmup skill)

This is the only way I can break 40 million on DDP DOJ. After the drinks, it seems that the Psikyo shooters play in bullet time; it's great.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 11:03 pm

The only time I do better in games when I've been drinking was the old Virtua Fighter 4 arcade frenzy days. I generally used Shun, Lion, or Aoi -- all tricky characters, rather than brute force, so being wasted kind of worked. For anything that requires more finess (like Dodonpachi or any other Cave game) I simply play like a bag of dicks if I've had 2 or more beers.

First time I broke 25mil in Ikaruga (over 2 years ago, in Japan)
I had about 3-4 beers before I started to play, late at night after
my work shift ended. It will always been a lovely memory.

I tend to play my best after just a smidge of ganja, or a cup of coffee.

After a couple of beers/drinks, my skills roll steadily downhill, but I still have a good time...

Listen to this man people, for he speaks the truth.

Myself, I find that a few beers takes the edge off a little, as I tend to get a bit anxious and over-stimulated during a good run. Any more than a few and it's downhill all the way. The decrease in ability is truly frightening, makes me wonder how people ever seriously think they can drink and drive and be OK.
