I don't mean "Oh yeah go play <the latest MMORPG> it's fun!"

I mean silly, comedic, non-sensical, laugh inspiring, wacky, genuinely funny and non-serious video game.

I don't want to grind, farm, or critically think.. I just want to press buttons and get laughs.. while drinking. What should I play?

I am the kinda ork that takes his own washing machine apart, puts new bearings in it, then puts it back together, and it still works.

Because drunk you wants to skydive out of a hijacked military jet, yank someone off a bike with a grappling hook, drive that bike to the top of a mountain, ramp that off onto a military helicopter, steal a military jet, and repeat the process, substituting in a whole variety of vehicles for any step of that procedure including sports cars, power boats, hover craft, civilian jets, tuk tuks, whatever.

Any Bards Tale game.

WWF vs RAW Smackdown 2006. Super awesome story mode. Seriously it sounds weird but a wrestling game actually fills all those requirements. Try the create-a-wrestler mode and laugh as you replicate wrestler versions of your friends or parents.

Also. Morrowind. Just play that gak man!

Seriously, if you have an Xbox 360 give this game a try. My friends and I played this for 100s of hours on end. So much fun! So dumb, so poor, so much awesome stuff.

I might go buy a 360 just for this game now that I think about it!

My friends and I played this for years and have not been able finish it on the mode above hardest.. inferno.

There is one gun, the tortoise. It fires a missile that tracks targets, is bigger than the launcher and flies slowly, so slowly you can walk past it... but it packs a punch! Its just pure genuine fun.

Ride to Hell: Retribution.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Saints Row series

Also, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes


I would suggest Mario Kart, but that game is infuriating, unless you are playing multiplayer (as in, while you're trying to actually unlock everything the CPU gets frustrating)

Saints Row was hours and hours of nonsensical fun for me. 2 was my favorite. (with cheat codes after I beat the game.)

I still have too much fun goofing off in Skyrim.

Marvel vs Capcom

As someone who has played this game while being an inappropriate amount of drunk, Borderlands can be a hoot. The light cartoon graphics just seem to fit. It's my go to game to play while intoxicated.

Rogue Legacy looks awesome too.

I also probably shouldn't admit this one, but the Chainsaw Warrior computer game ended up going remarkably well. It's supposed to be a board game adaptation but it's really more of a "roll virtual dice and see how the computer decided to screw you this run" game. As long as you start playing and drinking at about the same time so you have ~15 minutes to soak up some mechanics before you lose contact with the world things will go great, in a "half comprehensible stream of profanity and complaints interspersed with bouts of stunned laughter" kind of way.

Like watching other people play video games (badly) while blathering about nothing in particular? Check out my Youtube channel: joemamaUSA!

Chainsaw Warrior is a very good game, although winning is completely random. Like rolling a 1 on a d100.

I thought Brutal Legend for the 360 was rockingly awesome. Lots of foul language, hilarious parodies of different versions of rock, and a pretty nifty story line if you care.

I'll throw in another vote for Space Marine. Still love that campaign, and I've played through it 5-6 times.
