E3 2012 Drinking GameGet ready, gamers! It’s that magical time of the year when dreams can be made and hopes can be destroyed. E3 is upon us and the world is watching in excitement to see what the future holds for video games. While a lucky bunch will actually be able to attend the expo, most of us will be sitting at home, taking in the action from behind a screen. What better way to celebrate announcements (or grieve) than with a few buddies and drinks? The Drunken Moogle has created a drinking game, an updated version of Pixelitis’s 2011 E3 Drinking Game from last year, for those of you looking to pregame a bit before those big E3 parties. Grab some buddies and drinks and get ready for a fun week! For the press conference times and links to livestreams, check out the schedule that Video Game Nostalgia posted.

Uncharted 3: Drinks Deception (Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception cocktail)
Ingredients:Ginger beer (You could use Crabbies alcoholic ginger beer if you fancy more of a kick)GoldschlagerOverproof rum (“we use Wray and Nephew,” says James)CinnamonA box of matches
Directions: “Like the Uncharted games, this drink is one big action set-piece. Grab a highball glass and rub lime juice around the rim before dunking it onto a plate of sugar, then pour in 175ml ginger beer. Next, get a shot glass and pour in 10ml of Goldschlager, followed by 15ml of overproof rum, poured over the back of a spoon. You can now carefully light the shot and sprinkle cinnamon over the top from about 40cms to get an impressive flame. Then blow it out and drop the shot glass into the ginger beer.”
Seeking adventure? Ignite this Goldschlager and overproof rum depth charge then plunge it into a ginger beer ocean.

E3 2011 Drinking Game
I apologize that this is a bit late, but if there are still some press conferences that have yet to happen and I know many of you who haven’t had time to watch the conferences yet.  This is an E3 Drinking game created by Jamie Young of Pixelitis.net.  
Now, E3 can be a glorious time for gamers.  Exciting new game footage is shown, new consoles are debuted, and sometimes some very big surprises are announced.  Unfortunately, it’s also a time where we’re often met with great disappointment.  But that’s life.  So cheers, moogles! Let us drink to the hope that all our E3 wishes come true.  Grab some friends and your favorite brews and let’s see what happens. 
Microsoft’s Conference
Drink once for every time…
Call of Duty exclusive content is mentioned.
Having the best online network is mentioned.
Announce Kinect game that doesn’t appeal to core gamers.
Awkward girl actress portrays what girls might do with an Xbox 360.
“XBOX (insert command here)”.
A non-videogame celebrity goes on stage.
Down the whole can if
XBOX Live increases in cost again.
Nintendo’s Conference
Drink once for every time..
Reggie Fils-Aime takes a long pause.
For every statistic from Reggie.
Whenever there is a statistic that made the 3DS launch bigger than it actually was.
Miyamoto shows up “out of no where!”
Skyward Sword is pushed back to have a Zelda launch title.. again.
A game rehash is announced.
Down the whole can if…

Kevin Butler tries to cover up the Playstation Network issue with a fun joke.
Kaz Hirai says something that will become a meme.
Home improvements, such as new t-shirts, a real trophy room or Tim Allen.
Down the whole can if
PSN actually went down to prep Home servers for full release.
NGP is announced free for all PS+ members… until they remember everyone is temporarily PS+ members, and they quickly cover up the announcement.
General E3
Drink once for every time..
A technical error occurs.
The audience awkwardly laughs at a bad joke out of obligation.
The audience laugh’s at someone’s word slip or mistake.
Immediately get drunk if…
Hideo Kojima shows up.
Again, thank you to Jamie Young from Pixelitis.net for creating and submitting this entertaining game.
