Marvel Vs. Capcom: Fate of Two Drunks
The gents behind the Drinking Games for Gamers have outdone themselves with their newest installment, “Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Sheets to the Win.” Not because they’ve made what sounds to be a pretty tasty shooter in The Warp Pipe, but because I’m pretty sure if you play this particular drinking game you’ll have alcohol poisoning within an hour. Seriously, the loser takes 2.5 shots every match? At least the Warp Pipe involves some non-alcoholic juices in it, but if you played with whiskey or vodka, seriously, by match 5 you’d be dead. On the other hand, the plus side is that UMvC3‘s gameplay is pretty much about button-mashing anyways, so there’s no amount of drunkeness that would negatively affect your skill.
