Title: The RFN Drinking Game
Post by: Fatty The Hutt on May 10, 2012, 12:57:08 PM
The RFN Drinking Game
Over the past few years, I have listened to the majority of RFN episodes with the “Big 4” (Jonny, Jon, James and Greg), both new and archived. There are so many great in-jokes and recurring touchstones that I immediately thought, borderline alcoholic that I am, of a drinking game. I’ve been meaning to get this started for ages. With Greg leaving the show, now seemed like a good time. Here is a smattering of “rules” to get us started.
Post your own favourites below and I will try to add them to the list!
Greg talks about a side-scrolling shooter – 1 drink Greg talks about a vertical shooter – 1 drink Greg talks about Castlevania – 1 drink Anyone talks about Zangeki No Reginleiv – 2 drinks Greg says “to be honest” – 1 drink Greg pronounces HD as “Haytch Dee” – 2 drinks Jonny takes James to task over an outrageous statement – 1 drink James slips in a snarky, funny side comment while someone else is talking – 1 drink Jonny sings– 1 drink Jon raps– 1 drink Jonny and Jon sing together – 2 drinks Jon does the Donkey Kong rap– 3 drinks Someone describes a game as “broken” – 1 drink Someone references Episode 103– 1 drink Someone references Episode 104: The Corrections – 2 drinks Jonny compares a game to Metroid – 1 drink James expresses disdain for Metroid - 1 drink Unintentional homoeroticism– 1 drink Intentional homoeroticism– 2 drinks Someone references Cho Aniki– 2 drinks Greg discusses a Japanese Virtual Console game for more than 5 minutes– 1 drink Greg discusses a Japanese Virtual Console game for less than 5 minutes – 38 drinks James discusses a Tales game – 1 drink James discusses a Layton game – 1 drink James takes fewer than 3 days to finish the new Layton game – 1 drink James takes more than 3 days to finish the new Layton game – 9000 drinks Jonny talks Magic: The Gathering – 1 drink Everyone else takes the piss out of Jonny for talking Magic: The Gathering – 2 drinks The N64 is discussed– 1 drink James, Greg and Jon go on about how they didn’t get to do the N64 episode – 2 drinks Someone references The Drunk-Cast – 1 drink Someone references Karl’s un-broadcast-able story – 2 drinks Someone mentions Karl’s love for No More Heroes and Killer 7 – 1 drink Jonny introduces the podcast team with “Here with me, as always...” – 1 drink During intros, Greg says “Ahoy Hoy” – 1 drink During Intros, Jon says “Always a pleasure, Jonny” – 1 drink During intros, James makes a non-committal grunt of some sort – 2 drinks
When anyone says "Its soo good" or "sooo Good" - 1 drink Greg uses the word "Perfunctory" to describe a game - 1 drink
Jonny compares a game to Milon's Secret Castle - 1 drink Jon says "lords of ______" or says a game's name with the same voice. - 1 drink Let's Tap theme starts playing - 1 drink Jon says "it's the _____, people" - 1 drink Someone actually reads the "now playing" copy verbatim when there's a pun - 2 drinks Jonny mentions his conversation about Godzilla versus the giant enemy crab - 3 drinks

Gonna need to re-think a handful of these.
Have you listened to the last episode?

You missed the big one for me.
When anyone says "Its soo good" or "sooo Good" take a drink.

If you're still looking for a Greg entry for past episodes...
Greg uses the word "Perfunctory" to describe a game - 1 drink

@ceric and broodwars: nice ones! Added.
The list above is not intended to be exhaustive. Though the list is fairly long, I tried not to add everything I could think of in one go. It's just a starter.
Everyone feel free to post your favourite moments (that warrant some measure of drinks!) I will try to add them to the list.

Ok...I now see you reference that now that greg is leaving a drinking game should be started. I now just question the timing aspect. Not nearly as enjoyable to go through the backlog for the drinking game. More fun if playing moving forward, which is why I questioned your usage of Greg for these rules.
Just my 2 cents.

@lolmonade and TJ, I think you're missing the spirit of the list. It's a tribute (and some gentle ribbing) to the RFN crew and their foibles. It's not a serious game. That said, feel free to grab a random episode from the past and some friends, and get loaded. The fact that Greg is leaving is a perfect time to celebrate the legacy. A bit of a roast, if you will.
But there's nothing preventing us from keeping the list as a living document, updating it with future trends and including Guillaume eccentrcities.

I've considered writing something like this up for Connectivity.
For any of you familiar with How I Met Your Mother, Neal can often be heard saying "but, uh."

Jonny compares a game to Milon's secret castle-1 drink Lindemann says "lords of ______" or says a game's name with the same voice.-1 drink let's tap theme starts playing-1 drink Lindemann says "it's the _____, people" -1 drink someone actually reads the "now playing" copy verbatim when there's a pun -2 drinks Jonny mentions his conversation about Godzilla versus the giant enemy crab -3 drinks
but considering the length of the show i'd be impressed if anyone could actually get through it.

And man alive, the New Business section of Greg's last episode (291) was killer drinking game material: Castlevania games, Treasure games, Gunstar Heroes, Sin and Punshment, Ikaruga, Bangai-O, Radiant Silvergun (2 drinks!), Super Ghouls and Ghosts, "Tough but Fair". That show alone would kill anyone except Marion Ravenwood.
