The Drunken Moogle is a blog devoted to what might be the two best things this side of Hyrule: geek culture and booze. Though the generation of gamers who grew up with Mario, Sonic, and Final Fantasy gains new interests, some hobbies never change. We at TDM are dedicated to bringing the evolving gamer the perfect pairing between gaming and drinking culture. Keep checking back, because the next best thing is right around the corner. Here you will find the largest collection of nerdy cocktails (with themes of video games, anime, movies and more), unique glassware, art, and drinking games that include a geeky flare. The drinks included on the site are a collection, created by ourselves and others. ALL drinks will be given proper credit.Tumblr (3.0; @thedrunkenmoogle)http://www.thedrunkenmoogle.com/<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyvqogjGHf1qa8q3yo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><strong>The Drunken Moogle fan art by Daniel Schmidt</strong></p> <p>Artist Daniel Schmidt was kind enough to create some fan art of our favorite little drunken buddy and send it in.
