Grabber: It's easy to generate and share your drinkingg ames
Platform: Nintendo PC+DVD-ROM, 1500ml of Tequila
Selling Points: Who doesn't like making up their own little games, especially with alcohol involved?
Game Play: Pop your favorite DVD into the drive and Drinking Game Maker will analyze the closed caption titles for words or phrases of the drinking game designer's choosing. The designer must also allocate how many drinks one must take when each event occurs.
For ease of drinking game design, Drinking Game Maker will automatically parse through the movie's script for 2 and 3 word combinations that occur the most frequently.
After selecting phrases and how many drinks, play the DVD. When the phrases set to trigger drinks come on screen, bright floating text appears over the movie prompting everyone to consume.
Fun Factor: Booze and friends over make everything better.
Yeah, I know this idea totally licks earwigs. I've been rediculously depressed lately, neglecting friends, family, pets, self, you name it except my MMORPG crack of choice. As terrible as I've been feeling, this idea was conceived without the use of alcohol. Yes. I was completely sober when I thought of this. Sad huh?
It's hard not to establish emotional attachments to a project, especially when you start working on it from pre-production. As a tester, watching bugs slide through was a bane but didn't bring about any emotional hurt.I'll get over this. I really have no choice.
