Intoxicated:

Recommended Posts

Kanye is maybe the most interesting artist working in pop music today, but he's never been all that great a rapper. Don't know what "makes rap feel authentic with his skill as a producer/mixer" means, though.

The way he mixes on the tracks maintains a distinct separateness which I associate with lo-fi, but everything still has clear, sonic-emphasis (which I associate with commercially successful pop). So I'm getting the best of the lo-fi style (which I associate with authenticity) and the high-fi style (technical craftsmanship).

I can't believe how hated Nicki Minaj is. My first contact with her was from hearing her bit in Kanye West's Monster, which is easily the best part of that album. I tried looking her up but didn't find much I liked. But she is reviled and online her reputation is the epitome of a produced, talentless musician. From that bit in Monster, though, she should be fucking great.

Listening to that Kanye video now, the fucker rhymes 'reputation' with 'reputation' four times in a row.

Nicki Minaj is a great rapper (honestly) but she gets no credit because 1. sexism stuff but more importantly 2. half the songs on any given Nicki Minaj album are just Radio Disney Katy Perry type stuff (which, I have to admit, I often like quite a bit). If she fully committed to her crazy, she'd be twice as popular but maybe a tenth as rich. Listen to Roman Holiday, Roman's Revenge, Hov Lane, Stupid Hoe, Come On A Cone and I Am Your Leader.

Wow.  I was intoxicated for about 18 hours yesterday.  Goodness me.

So, since I have a new job, and will have Christmas Day both off work and completely alone in my apartment, I am thinking I will possibly get intoxicated and play video games all day.

This leads to the obvious question... what should I drink? Anyone have some good recommendations?

Chimay. It's not like normal beer. Its a different kind of high. Don't drink any other alcohol with it so that you get its pure effect. It's expensive though. My hypothesis is that monks developed it in the direction of a lubrication for spiritual experiences.

Chimay is excellent. Grimbergen tripel is pretty nice too. There's lots of choice, it depends on what you have available really.

The best thing you could do is find a nice independent specialist wine and beer merchant in your locality and seek the owner's recommendations.

Edit: it's possible that this may be of some use - beerhunter.ca
(also drinkresponsibly.com and 1pintofwaterperpintofbeer.co.uk etc.)

((if you could set up a twitch stream then we could all stop by and wish you a merry Christmas))

Kraken spiced rum, which I am rather pissed on right now. I just played Spelunky on vita expecting nothing more than spikes on 1-1, and got to the temple for the first time, after aggroing shopkeepers and successfully cleaning out the back market.

I should probably be this drunk all the time*

Do a "Nick Brekcon": drink whisky while playing strategy games. But you don't have to go for bourbon, any whisky is allowed.

I like the Oban 14 and Balvenie Double Wood. What whiskey you like it really personal.

Merry Christmas!

Today I shall partake in the bottle of Jägermeister in my freezer while playing Borderlands 2. ...and eventually Pokemon Y, I just think shooters lend themselves to drinking better than RPGs.

Still tipsy, after downing a bottle of Jaeger in 15 mins?  Surely not.  ;)

I would say " Remember to drink lots of water" but I'm not sure if that advice is good when the water is brown.

Hi there. New Castle, New Years Eve.. Assassins Creed III, post game beating missions/objectives. Maybe some duck tales.

meep. May be updating this post throughout the evening.

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ALL!

 

 

[edit 1]

Bought a wii U about a month ago.. feel like I should have maybe bought a 3ds.. still some RPG goodness coming in the next year.. yay!

 

[edit 2]

mmmm, pancakes.

 

[edit 3]

hmm.. alcohol acts fast.. entertainment becomes not quite as interesting just as fast.. goonies playing in the background... hmm

 

[edit 4]

Obnoxious neighbors totally ruined my evening.. Some stella Artois coming.. maybe time to switch to duck tales.. only problem is that I'm at the end and I don't fancy playing the same five minutes over and over until I beat it.. hmm

 

[edit 5]

tend to eat too much when drunk. Just spilled entire bag of Microwave popcorn on floor. #inebriation_diet_plan

Happy New Year! (again)

 

[edit 5-b]

every forum should have an 'intoxicated' thread.

 

[edit 6]

Connor appears to be as drunk as I am. Norah Jones bussin' the nu-jazz (st. germain des pres cafe vol. 5) on the stereo. Hope I make it to midnight. o.O

 

[edit 7]

pornography and 'High Fidelity'.. I should be doing something else with my life. o.O :D

 

[edit 8]

Get your patchouli stank out of my store! (possibly the greatest movie ever.. I've got to read the book one of these days..)

 

[edit 9]

Okay, end of post. Intoxication going away..

Finishing High Fidelity, then When Harry Met Sally (apparently best new years movie), then sleep. He y0, good evening peeps. Have a good 2014! :D

 

7:08 pm. o.o

Sweet tea and peach schnapps is amazing! Drink gallons of it and thank me later.

I don't really recommend medical marijuana to alleviate cold symptoms, especially a stuffy nose or other breathing-related congestion.
