The way a drinking game works is you have five bajillion rules and no one is allowed to have fun.

The Time Dissolver posted:If your response to someone delineating a drinking game is to say "That's impossible, you'd get alcohol poisoning or die" then the real troper is you. Getting drunk with friends is cool and good. Writing a 6000-word convoluted rulebook delineating precisely how you would totally get super duper drunk with friends if you had any is not cool and not good. All incarnations Every time you spot an animation mistake, drink. WARNING! If you're playing while watching My Little Pony And Friends, we highly recommend that you don't drink anymore than a sip at a time lest you want to end up comatose. Any time someone breaks into a song, have a drink. If the characters themselves comment on it, take another drink. Every time a new character joins the song. If you wish to breathe between shots, it's recommended that you only include named characters that have a solo verse or a duet. If new pony or accessory is introduced that has no other logical reason to exist other than to sell new toys, have a drink. NOTE: this rule is only in effect IF you know that toy of the character or accessory exists. My Little Pony Tales Take a drink whenever someone gets sent to their room.

Generation 3.5 Take a drink whenever you see the words "Once upon a My Little Pony time." Take a drink when ever a Rainbow appears. Take 2 drinks when Rainbow Dash appears. Take a drink every time she talks about her scarf. Laugh epically at her demise, then drink when Rainbow's scarf falls in the mud. Take a drink when you see Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle, then: cry in shame (and give a hearty cluck for Scootaloo). Take a full glass if Pinkie Pie says "Pinkilcious," then sing "Twilightlicous," then drink a shot. Take a drink whenever footage you know to be from previous episodes is reused (but only sips for Rainbow Dash's Special Day). My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic General: Take a drink whenever 'pony' is used to replace the suffix '-body'. Take a drink whenever Celestia speaks. Raise your glass, then take a drink whenever Celestia saves the day. Take a drink whenever somepony's mane gets ruined. Two if it's not Rarity. Take a drink whenever somepony brohoofs another pony. Take a drink whenever somepony belches. Take a drink whenever there's a moment of Getting Crap Past the Radar.

Cutie Mark Crusaders: Take a drink whenever they loudly announce their plans. Take another drink if their plan goes horribly wrong. Take a drink whenever they excitedly check their flanks, expecting their cutie marks. When they say something to the effect of "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER <INSERT OCCUPATION HERE>!" you must repeat what they said and take a drink. If you mess up your repetition, you must repeat the process—including the drink—until you get it right. Take a drink when Sweetie Belle's voice cracks.

(Watch out for the opening of Applebuck Season if you know what's good for you. You're being set up if you're challenged to this one by somebody who then cues Ponyville Confidential or worse, Filli Vanilli. If the latter, be sure you don't get suckered into drinking when it's really Flutterguy talking, and be ready for when AJ makes Mac "explain himself".)

Take a drink every time he's in the same shot as Princess Cadence. Nightmare Moon: Take a drink whenever Dramatic Thunder strikes in her presence. Same for Princess Luna.

Take a drink whenever he blatantly defies the laws of reality.note Whenever there's a Foe Yay moment between him and one of the Mane Six ponies, have a drink. Have an ambulance on standby.

Take a drink whenever she invades Shining Armor's personal space. Take a drink whenever she uses magic. Take a drink whenever she (as Cadence) acts blatantly out of character. Take a drink whenever everyone else completely dismisses Chrysalis acting out of character as perfectly normal. King Sombra: Take a drink whenever he... whenever he makes an appearance, really.

Take a drink whenever dark magic is used. Take two when it's used by the protagonists. Take a drink if somepony interacts with him. Lord Tirek: Take a drink when you see him draining magic. Take a drink when he uses his own magic. Down a whole bottle in celebration when he has his awesome battle with Twilight Sparkle. Background Ponies: Take a drink whenever Derpy makes an appearance. In The Last Roundup, take a drink for every line of dialogue that Derpy says. If you're watching the censored version, either slowly and mournfully drink a whole bottle in the fond memory of the true Derpy or quickly wash down a whole bottle in celebration. Take a drink every time bronies rejoice over Derpy just being part of a crowd scene like a regular background pony. Take a drink if you see Lyra jumping up and down. Take two if you see her sitting like a human. Eat some candy every time Bon Bon's voice changes, then wash it down with a drink. Take a double shot whenever Lyra and Bon Bon are seen in the background together. Take a drink every time Time Turner, formerly known as Doctor Whooves, is seen running. Take a drink every time you forget that Time Turner's name is Doctor Hooves. Take a drink every time the Flower Trio say "The Horror, The Horror!" Take a drink whenever a background pony—or buffalo—does something weird in Return of Harmony II. Take a drink whenever Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon act bitchy towards the other fillies. Take two if they act bitchy towards the Crusaders. Take a drink whenever a changeling transforms on-screen. Random Fact, if you include the Queen, there are exactly 26 changelings changing onscreen Take a drink every time you see an alicorn in the background that isn't Twilight or the princesses.

Ninjasaurus posted:I will be sure to include visual novels under the "anime/manga/hentai" umbrella You're doing the same thing anime fans do and lumping a huge, diverse thing together even when that doesn't really make any sense. Like the thing Darth Walrus posted was pretty much the equivalent of someone saying "I don't see what the fuss is over this late night cinemax softcore show having a graphic rape scene is. I've seen hardcore shock bondage porn that's way worse". Anime fans can't differentiate between kids' shows, prime time dramas, late night sofcore shlock, and hardcore porn. It's like, imagine there was a group of people in another country who were really into American tv/movies, but they lumped it all under some silly blanket term, let's say Amere. And you decided one day to see what the generally agreed on list of best Amere was and it looked something like: Baywatch Avatar: the last airbender The Wire Debbie Does Dallas You would probably be more than a little confused, but that's pretty much how anime fans operate. And that's really dumb. But at the same time, it's silly to take something like Caligula as a condemnation of all American cinema. Basically, be better than anime fans is what I'm trying to say. corn in the bible posted:troper drinking games are basically just "every time something happens, drink" Drinking games are basically poking fun at the tropes a particular thing overuses, so it makes sense that tropers would take that simple concept and do stupid things with it. Kind of like how the site itself was fine until it got taken over by weird obsessives who had to catalog every trope and sub-trope and inverted sub-trope and inverted twice roundabout double reconstructed sub-trope.

Remember Mark von Lewis, who boozed so hard and so often that he lost all his teeth? The ratio of Tropers who are alcoholics compared to the ones who have weird hangups about alcohol but have never actually imbibed any is like, 1:1000 or something. The guy you mentioned, DrunkScriblerian, and DrunkGirlfriend are the only out-and-out alcoholics I'm vaguely certain of. The rest are alcohol virgins with all of the weird obsessing and glorifying and misunderstandings that go along with it.

It's probably just the same problem with their other lists, where people see a list and go, "Aha! They are missing this one thing! I will add it!" and then a game to get people tipsy turns into suicide by alcohol because including everything matters more than the original reason for the list.

If your drinking game can accurately be summed up as "Everyone drinks every 10 seconds, while also watching show/movie X I guess", just get drunk and watch the show/movie with your friends without attaching a dumb game to it, you'll have more fun.

law and order svu is about cops who arrest pedophiles and rapists Magnificent Bastard: Darius Parker or Fin's stepson. Not only does he commit one of the most heinous crimes described on SVU by murdering a woman, raping her with his KNIFE, and then burying her 14-month-old son alive, but he walks, even after confessing to the crime. How? first he mentions that he has an upcoming burglary case before he confesses to the crime while waving his right to counsel. However, because he mentions his upcoming case, it is implied that he should have counsel present, making his confession and the bodies discovered by that confession inadmissible in court. He then goes to trial and picks apart the prosecution's case while airing Fin and Stabler's dirty laundry, getting the Judge recused from the case by mention the DUI of Stabler's daughter, and getting his mother to reveal that she hates him because he was the child of her rape(by his grandfather/father). The Magnificent Bastard is what happens when you combine The Chessmaster, The Trickster, and the Manipulative Bastard: bold, charismatic, independent, and audacious. Capturing the audience with their charisma, incredible intellect, mastery of manipulation, and boldness of action, this character is a show-stealer, demanding your reverence at every turn. hes the most handsome and charismatic knife-raping child-murderer ever *gigglesquee* hes so hot also Do Not Do This Cool Thing: Although the show usually takes pains to point out that these crimes are horrific and carry devastating consequences, many critics have nevertheless pointed out that there is also a tendency for the show to get a lot of lurid and sensationalist entertainment mileage out of them as well. dont do the cool things, like running an underage rape cult

Oh no doubt. But there are a lot of people who come to the conclusion that all anime is bad forever after being exposed to any amount of anime fans. Which is honestly a perfectly reasonable reaction. It's the one time when a person is more likely to encounter the terrible fandom before the thing itself. I think if people were exposed to "gamer culture" or trekkies before they ever played a video game or saw an episode of Star Trek they would probably think those things were terrible and want to burn them to the ground too.

Turns out that the freaks aren't contained to just TvTropes!Someone defending Cross Ange posted:Just saw the 2nd episode...wow they're really going full lesbian with this. The character design has to be some of the beautiful I have seen, it looks like an art piece (where the artist has put lots of work into the faces/eyes/hair) except fully animated. Especially the hair which looks amazing on all characters. I can only hope they keep up the visual quality. Found this on The Escapist, that so called bastion of sophistication on the Internet.

From Wikipediaquote:The series is set in an utopia generated through Mana. It focuses on first princess of the Misurugi Empire, Angelize Ikaruga Misurugi. She was celebrated by the people of the empire, and was supposed to wear the crown. However, the shocking truth is that she is a Norma: an irregular existence that cannot use Mana, and are treated as heretics and as "things" rather than people. She is exiled to a remote island where she instead meets a group of Norma girls who know nothing but battle. The girls spend their days riding humanoid robot weapons called "Paramail" hunting giant dragons that have come from another dimension to invade.
