 WASTED is a light hearted game parodying the Fallout series. Most of civilization is gone, and the remnants cling to life in junk towns and hovels while exploring the ruins of the great bunkers that were built to try and preserve life as the bombs dropped. Deep in the bottom of the Coolers lays the most precious thing left to human kind, Booze. Made my Mr. Podunkian, I believe a Goon, WASTED was published by Adult Swim Games and turned up on steam many years ago. I don't know if it ever got its due popularity at launch, but it is a solidly fun game worth picking up on steam. WASTED is a first person shooter with roguelite elements of procedurally generated dungeons, permadeath, and character progression. The real draw though might just be the setting, the writing, and the experience of it all. It's a very cool little labor of love and it's just so enjoyable because it does everything right. This is a fun and whimsical game I just wanted to show off. Recharge my creative energy, and I'll get to my next serious LP once the hangovers wear off.  You get wasted, or you get wasted trying It seemed appropriate to make a WASTED drinking game. Starting on the third video I'll be teaching you how to make drinks that you can drink during the videos. Most of the drinks in game are puns or variations of real cocktails which I will demonstrate how to make. If you want to follow along at home you may need some way to measure your pours. I use a speed pour but those without experience may need to find a set of jiggers or other measuring method. Our hero Preston and his side kick, Brick  The Rounds

 Who are we and how did we get here? Well those aren't really important. We start the game off with a rad yellow car, a rusty old gun, and an unquenchable thirst for some booze. Things get off to an auspicious start right away when we're mugged for everything and then locked out of the cooler. Getting wasted isn't easy. The top level of the CA-1 is a real easy place to be. The floors are short and the lockers in the rooms are usually stocked with medistims. If you're ever really hurting for supplies you can revisit this place to stock up. However it's ease of access also means it doesn't really have anything else of value. You're not likely to find anything but the weakest raiders in here, unless like me, you commit Grand Hubris and open the wrong locked door. Coolers are all divided up into three layers, so when I say the top layer of CA-1 I mean floors 1-3, which is the Staging Area. Floors 4-6 are the Dormitories, Floor 7 is a special place, and Floors 8-10 are the Generators. At least for CA-1, but all the coolers follow the same layering pattern.  The Dormitories are where I'd say Tutorial Land ends. While the baddies here might not be tough, they at least usually carry guns. Or suicide bombs. May even see the Rottymen, the long lost residents of CA-1 that were bathed in far too much radiation. My Hubris from the previous floors goes unpunished and I loot the heck out of all the dorms to find one of the most essential cooler running pieces of equipment. Fanny bags! All that griping for the last three floors? A thing of the past! Lastly we find the coolers bar and get our first taste of the sweet sweet booze that resides deeper in the cooler. They aren't the best, but they're still good! Importantly this is how we get out of a cooler without getting wasted. Well, the other kind of wasted. Back at home we can drop off and store extra items so if we do get wasted the next waster that stumbles upon our little shack won't have to start out with nothing.

As a lifelong resident of Suckrimento who doesn't drink more alcohol than some dashes of bitters in soda, this is gonna be interesting to follow.

Its been a long time since I played this but I think having a cache of backup equipment back at base in case a dive goes wrong is always a good idea.

Yeah, it's the basics of adventuring in this game, always keep a stack of items at home. Jade finding *all three* fanny packs in *duplicates* in his first run is just galling though, drat LP'ers luck!

Very cool little game, and it definitely has style! I'm curious, are you able to save/resume at all in the middle of runs, or just in between them? I got into Immortal Redneck for a while when I was looking for a roguelike shooter, but it stops being a fun little game to drop into when the runs start taking an hour and a half or longer. Also very excited for the cocktails. The paloma is looking to be my drink of the summer for the second year in a row, so I could use some inspiration.

So wait, there are NO persistent upgrades beyond stashing stuff back at home so you have a backup?

There is one kind of persistant upgrade, you'll probably learn more in future videos. But for others getting back to where you were can be a real chore.

 After the first cooler run we can travel to the Ony Express, following the advice of that road courier we ran into down in the Cooler. Here we find several important things, like The Maul, the only place we can exchange TP for gear. Across from The Maul is the Gin and Gout our pre-cooler run destination for booze and buffs. Inside the Ony we learn what the road couriers do and what services they offer, as well as meet a few interesting characters from time to time. However my thirst for Booze was too strong and I didn't have the patience to talk to everyone right away. Moderation in everything right? So I set off to speed through the upper floors of the Cooler as fast as possible to get at that sweet Booze. Jade Star fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Jun 11, 2023 |

You know, it's interesting how the art design makes for such over-large heads for the enemy - and then rewards you for shooting them in the noggin.

One good tip i have for anyone that want to get through maps fast or want to avoid the timer, look for equipment with +Speed, i believe each point gives you something to 25-50% faster movement and extra points adds to that to a substantial degree. At 11 Speed (which you can only really get if you do the extra mode Cooler) you'll blitz through maps at a breakneck speed, in fact i'd even say that you almost go uncontrollably fast with that many points of Speed so take as much as you feel you can handle. (if you want to have all the speed, use the Blue Ox drug and Bunny Hops hangover for maximum airtime speed and watch the world become a blur.)

 Today we meet some of the more colorful residents of Suckrimento and get a proper quest! Things may start off soft, but I intend to go hard while I expect some stiff resistance from the raiders as I penetrate deeper into the depths of the cooler before things come to a head. ...Dick joke.

A word of warning: check your medications before trying anything with grapefruit in it. Loads of drugs and prodrugs are metabolized by the singular enzyme CYP3A4, which is inhibited by a class of compounds called furanocoumarins. And guess what grapefruit juice has a lot of? Grapefruit juice is a shotgun aimed by complete accident at the heart of pharmacology, and yet we didn't know about this until 1991. Oof.

Of course, if you are taking medication then drinking alchohol isn't going to help you much either. But I suppose if you want to drink a Mocktail with grapefruit juice in this still applies.

The big saving grace with them is they are slow, and you know they are coming. If you're really worried about them you can leave tripping hazards near the start point of a floor and that will likely break the purifiers legs making them even slower. They can be fought, but typically the rewards for it are pretty minor compared to the risks.

I like how some games basically push the player to not just try to stay and fight hard enemies that way. Subnautica also did it.

 Today we meet Slab, who was separated from his wife somewhere in the dorms of the cooler and we're tasked to rescue her. This is a perfectly normal and fine quest and not at all the reason I will be multiple drinks into it before we even set foot into the cooler. Also, you asked for cat in the drink builds, so I give you cat in the drink builds.

I appreciated the guest star for the drink build. The unique armor from this run is also looks amazing. Really appreciating the bartending talk, too! I'm learning lots. Like why people always look at me funny when I have a Long Island Ice Tea for "just a drink". I had no idea it was about twice as strong as other drinks.

I swear this mission was a very deep cut because I recognised almost everything he mentioned, including the "Lore unfriendly Mansion". Edit: And before anyone gets any ideas, I used to mod Skyrim all the time back in the day and I would often see stuff like this in the most popular downloads list on the nexus.
