If video games and consoles were... cocktails?

the valve- first is tasty and refreshing, unlike anything you have tasted before the second takes a while to prepare but ultimately delivers the same experience as the first the bar always closes before you can get a third. the COD- tastes the same, no matter what is added. known to induce tears and rage in some people.

The Crysis: Drink the first one and you'll be in love. Then you drink the second one and notice that some of the flavors have changed, and the flavors that are still there are very watered down. They offer up a third one, but you decline after the second one left a bad taste in your mouth. The Minecraft: People become obsessed with this drink that exploded out of nowhere. If you mention criticisms like how it isn't stirred very nicely, or how it has weird chunks in it, they'll run you out of the bar and tell you to go and drink the Call of Duty. You ignore them and just start adding about 50 other flavors to make it palatable and order something else when you're done. The Valve: the people who like the Valve think that it's perfect and can't be messed up in any way, even though that's far from true. The Smartphone: This is something that you use if you want a quick buzz. Although that is the reason for this drink to exist, you can get the Handheld for a similar experience, except better.

It doesn't look like anyone has shared this yet so I will - http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2011/dec/23/six-video-game-cocktails/print Recipes for actual VG inspired cocktails. The Portal ones are particularly brilliant.

Those are amazing...

This is a really creative and awesome article. I think I've got some ideas... The Call of Duty Cocktail - Some who sip this beverage will accept it as simple and not too intricate with its ingredients, but enjoyable nonetheless. Those who spend more time drinking other beverages oftentimes become drunk after the first few sips, and they then proceed to get into a drunken rage and begin an outrageous bar fight with anyone who enjoys the drink. These people will usually experience hangovers so foul that they refuse to drink the beverage again and curse its name whenever they see it, stating that it fails to add enough new ingredients over time. Guitar hero - This particular mixture was once considered to be one of the most popular beverages served in bars, particularly because of the unusual behaviors exhibited by bartenders who mixed this drink. The bartender would often offer someone a delicious looking Guitar Hero cocktail and, upon seeing this person's enjoyment of the drink, immediately whip up several hundred more drinks and shove them into the customer's face. When the customer begins to slow down in their consumption of the beverage, the bartender would try throwing any popular ingredient into the Guitar hero mixture, be it a lime labeled, "Green Day" or a fancy "Metallica" umbrella. This strange beverage has since gone the way of the dodo bird, after an excess consumption of the beverage has led many to have a permanent hangover. World of Warcraft - Everyone states that this beverage is dangerous to one's health because of its alcoholic nature, despite the fact that they all drink alcoholic beverages as well. However, while everyone constantly speaks ill of this drink, even those who drink it, no one can seem to turn it down whenever the bartender suggests it. After one or two drinks in any particular sitting the patron will begin to get angry and drunk and will proceed to order another drink. They will then turn to everyone drinking World of Warcraft and declare how excited they are for the new drink, and how no one will be drinking World of Warcraft beverages when the bartender arrives. Oftentimes when the bartender returns the patron will take a sip of the new drink and immediately shrug, proceeding to return to the World of Warcraft cocktail. They will continue to complain until the process repeats itself.

please keep adding to this article over time. Absolutely hilarious

Fantastic article, and comedy gold, as usual. Keep it up, Dave!

You forgot the capcom one where they fill the whole cup and make you pay to finish the drink.

You totally beat me to it... I bet it comes with ice and a glass if you pay extra.

Oh Dave! How you've reinstated my love for gamesradar with just the one article! GIVE THIS GUY A RAISE!!!!!

Beautiful! Keep them coming!

Hilarious, thank you for writing this!

I thought this was going to be one of those articles that actually has a drink recipe for various videogame themed beverages (most of which end up tasting disgusting!) Instead, found this hilarious article! Thank you very much Mr. Houghton!

Final Fant-iced-tea deserves a Webby, I have never been so serious on the internet. BRAVO!

No Nintendo drinks? Seriously? No Kakarikan Extra Stout, Lon Lon Vanilla Porter or the Nintenjito? I can't believe you passed up the Bottom of the Barrel Roll...
