Alcholol blacked-out gaming? - City of Heroes Forums

Just a random thought while I'm here at work:

Most of you that have experienced what it's like to consume alcohol in too large amounts know this situation. You wake up the next morning and have no idea how you got to bed or what you did for parts of the night. You might have brought strange things with you home, or not brought home things that definitively should have been with you, like you pants.
You might discover that you that your relationship to some people have utterly changed (usually for the worse) and you have no idea why. And so on.

Anyone experienced this with games? I have this bad habit of coming home drunk and getting the bright idea of playing a bit before going to bed.
Next morning I'll wake up, and fire up the game, sometimes with no reccolection of even having played it yesterday. And I'll find my warrior who I last saved while hanging out in a town, in the middle of a desert, surronded by enemies that can kill me instantly. All I've got equipped is one shoe and I'm armed with a fork.

Anyone else have these type of gaming challanges?

CoH/CoV must be a godsend for you. Worse off you end up in a hospital.

Ummm.... No?

The closest I've gotten to this was during an rp table top session back in college. It was after a full day of working in the maching shop, I must have gotten high off of the paint fumes or lack of food. Anyway, during the whole time I was acting weird and couldn't stop laughing. Course during this particular session we had about eight people, got way out of control so the GM decided to get drunk and keep going.

Yeah... it was weird.

Well...I have played extremely intoxicated before, but I usually had the sense to log out at portal corp or something

Man, Sword.

In all my times of drinking heavily, even at the worse of times, I've never forgotten where I've been or what I was doing. Actually, I sorta like to be in control, even if I do get goofy; tends to squash a buzz but good! I also like to analyze my situation and what I am going through. Did you know Anissette (sp) gives you the same buzz as paint fumes? If you've ever had any or never thought about it, now you know.

So, needless to say, I am the best choice to drive and shoot if everyone is drunk. Although, I know enough not to shoot or at least TRY to keep from a situation like that in that state, although it's been admittedly many years since I've been in any sort of similiar bar-fight.

Guilty... but only once, it was enough to scare the crap out of me.

Bottle and a half of wine my head, had this conversation with Frost about infactual stuff that i don't remember... I don't know what else he did to me, I don't remember...
