The Letting Off Steam Thread

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

We should start taking bets as to which part of the world gets banned most.

Here's what I'm guessing.

Topping the list, the Pinoys. Followed closely by the Europeans...finishing off with the Chinese. Why Chinese last despite the largest population? Well they're smarter than the rest and just stick to their own sites.

This was all in jest, if you got your panties in a bunch because of it, you deserve to be made fun of.

Sometimes...you're so Pinoy.

(Yes, that was also a joke, I've got nothing against Pinoys and Shadow is Pinoy and I love him. For sexual reasons, but still, love him none the less.)

Hehe, nope not even old enough yet.

I wasn't even drunk when I got home or I didn't feel it. Then the headache started in the morning which revealed I had some alcohol in my system .

^Same thing happened to me the other day: I had five Desperados (33 cl; Beer+Tequila; 6% alcohol percentage) and a glass of Baileys, and I was fine until I got on the bus, and when I got home it was even worse. Still it was kinda cool: I was not drunk, I felt I was not drunk, but Coke cans were talking to me and I laughed at literally everything I saw/heard.

The only side effect at the moment I felt that I was in a really good mood and pretty much nothing else. On the other hand some other mates of mine had like a glass of bandidos ( beer and like an energy drink mixed) and they were drunk like they had a liter of vodka or something. Too bad the headache ticks in the next day.

^I thought that also, but I really don't remember much after I got on the bus home, and the cans started talking to me when I got home, lol.

But I don't know, I did it only a few times before and I promised myself not to anymore because I had paranoia afterwards. It could be, though.

EDIT: Pera, I had a Bandidos yesterday and it's fucking amazing. It didn't taste like energy drink, though. More like rum and lime. Strong taste.

Which one did you have ?

Cause there are four kinds of them I think ... Power , Ice , Hot and Lemon Ice I think.

Power is like beer & energy drink.

Ice is like beer & and some cool other flavor I can't remember whats it called, need to check that.

Hot is like beer & tequila.. awesome taste yet you need to mix it with something since its a killer for your throat.

Lemon Ice is like beer & lemonade not bad to say the least.

The Lemon Ice one sounds like its just a shandy.. If your going to drink that, just mix Beer with Smirnoff Double Blacks (Y) That'll fuck you up

Bandidos will have you dancing in no time , trust me .

And whats with this stupid song I keep hearing everywhere I go. All the dude signs is like " Suicidal,suicidal , everyone's suicidal" and has this annoying voice too . And the people who I hang out think its like the best song of the year. God, it pisses me of.

Need to go watch 24 or something to get my mind in a relaxed mood.

I don't remember which one it was but I do remember it tasted like rum and lemon/lime. I checked on the Bandidos website and the only one that's got rum is the "Ice."

Hot is like beer & tequila.. awesome taste yet you need to mix it with something since its a killer for your throat.


I have Desperados Beer (Beer+Tequila) all the time. Never had to mix it with anything, it doesn't have a strong taste at all (I actually find regular beer to be stronger.) Sometimes I put a slice of lemon inside the bottle but that's it.

I checked too.. like you said you did have an ice.

I dunno about Desperados since I never had one, but the Bandidos Hot one always made my throat really sore. I usually just mix it with a little coke, just to avoid the soreness .

You can drink 10 half beer, half double blacks without getting drunk?

Is anyone a political science major or has taken a political science course before? If so and you somehow manage to read a single paragraph without falling asleep, then BZ would like to pimpslap you for being that damn good.

Seriously... I have a upcoming midterm to my Intro to political science class.. and the text is just killing me. And on top of that, I have to read essays from political "scientists" who cant finish a sentence without filling 3/4 of it with unnecessary complicated words just to make them look overly intelligent. In the end, they come across as sophisticated-I-got-through-poli-sci-ha-ha-ha snobs.

I regret majoring in Criminology...

Welcome to the soft sciences.

At a normal pace, all the Smirnoff Ices do nothing for me. It's like drinking a soda. I stick to the hard liquor.

it could be an age/body weight/trained tolerance thing....back in the day, I was the same....now like half a litre of a spirit will get me close to drunk (as opposed to twice that much in the past)....

Double Black's are 8% alcohol content (as opposed to the crappy straight Black's which are only about 5%), the average beer might be 4-5%....we'll say 4% for argument's sake....so the average drink is 6%....those bottles are about 300mL, give or take....so 10 x 300mL = 3L of drink consumed....3L x 6% = 180mL pure alcohol....

actually, hold that, that's not that great....that works out to drinking about 450mL of a 40% spirit....

I guess it depends on how quickly you drink those splices....if it's over say 3 hours, yeah, I'd say you'd be drunk....but over a night of say 6-8 hours, then not so....if you're only about 18 or 19, more likely that you'll be more drunk regardless....

word of advice, ditch the splice beer mixes....if you want beer, drink beer....if you want rtd's, drink rtd's....if you want to mix, drink spirit, beer, wine, spirit, spirit, beer, beer....that was always my issue....I never stuck to one drink or style of drink....after a couple of beers I got sick of them (bloatedness & pissing too much), so I'd go spirits (maybe a bourbon, switch to a vodka, maybe to scotch)....hope that helps :)

Wow... am playing Madden 08. My wide receiver just caught a touchdown in the middle of the endzone and got tackled. Then all of a sudden the opposing team challenges the spot of the ball (Its in the damn endzone caught). The booth reviews it, and overturns the touchdown, saying the ball never got into the endzone... just absurd. :wall:
