Transformers Drinking Games: Our 4 Favorites

We've had drinking games on the brain lately, and we're also rekindling an old obsession - Transformers. We used to watch the cartoon when we were kids, and we're interested in the new Transformers flick that's coming out, even if only to see if we hate it as much as the one that came out a couple years ago. The main impetus, of course, is the sister sites What Would Optimus Do? and What Would Megatron Do?, where your favorite good and evil robots give the advice Dear Abby should, each answering the same question in his own unique way.

To commemorate this great day, we're including our favorite Transformers drinking games below, as well as why we like them. Find it after the jump - hopefully you'll find a game that lets you find your inner child and transform into an incoherent drunk.

Firefly/Serenity Drinking Game

We've been a little obsessed with nerdy drinking games lately. After our post about science fiction drinking games a couple weeks ago, we had a nagging feeling there was something missing. What was it? It was keeping us nights, then we figured it out.

It was Firefly that was missing. Joss Whedon's science fiction Western masterwork was not included in the list of games. We've been on a Firefly and Serenity jag lately, and we're really enjoying seeing it again.

We've also been known to wax poetic about Morena Baccarin (and underpants tea), the second reason we watch the show. We're not afraid to admit - the first reason is our rugged hetero man-crush on Nathan Fillion. Anyway check out our favorite Firefly drinking game rules after the jump.

Science Fiction Drinking Games: Get Your Geek On

Call us geeks (we're used to it) but we were just over at IO9, reading up on the prospect of a Gremlins 3 movie, when when a story title caught our eye and piqued our interest. A Dozen Science Fiction Drinking Games? We don't even know where to start with that title in terms of sheer awesomeness.

We love a good TV oriented drinking game any day of the week, but when they're science fiction-related, you've dialed our number. From Dr. Who to Battlestar Galactica to Stargate, you'll find a drinking game to tickle your nerd bone and pickle your liver in no time.

We do take issue with classifying some of these things as science fiction (the 1960s Batman movie? 300?), but beggars can't be choosers.

Flask Plus Cards Equals Perfect Gift

We were never Boy Scouts (we're sure you're shocked about that), but we're pretty certain their motto is "Always Be Prepared." We've decided to make a slight variation on that motto; ours is most likely going to be "Never Go Anywhere Without Flask and Cards." Or something like that. And lo and behold, here's a setup that will let us get our drinking and gaming merit badge!

Beer Pong Coupons for All

We can't tell you how many times we've thrown our hands in the air over the prospect of paying retail for a beer pong table. It's something that has to come up, like, twice a day. "I'd love a new beer pong table, but I can't justify paying retail!" That's where Beer Pong Coupons comes in - right now they've got discounts of up to $35 off portable beirut tables. So what're you waiting for?

Pick Your Poison Drinking Game

Halloween is approaching fast, and we are all about getting ready to throw the perfect Halloween party. Whether you're having a bender or doing one of those more intimate gatherings, Pick Your Poison is a great game to get you socially lubricated enough to climb into the Raggedy Andy costume your girlfriend is making you wear. The game itself is simple - just fill the included 2 oz. shot glasses, then push the spider to make lights flash under each glass. At the end, one glass will have a light still under it, and the person closest has to drink the shot. Simple enough, and just for the record - we checked the rules and you don't have to include actual poison in any of the glasses.

Inflatapong Inflatable Beer Pong Table

For most of us here on the east coast, pool season is over, but that doesn't stop us from getting excited about Inflatapong, the newest swimming pool-centric beer pong game on the block. For a while there, the Portopong was the only inflatable floating beer pong game in town, but these guys have brought some interesting new ideas to the concept.

Click on the image above to see a YouTube video of their informational video explaining how Inflatapong works, and you can get one of your own for eighty bucks at their website. For the record, our favorite features are the eight foot size and the center board for bouncing - plus they also feature N-Ice Rack on their site if you want to use them for simpler (and chillier) racking.

Play Flip Cup, Win a 7 Day Vacation

We told you about the Flip Cup Guys a while back, the gentlemen who host ongoing tournaments in the sport of kings that is their namesake. We've found out today they're outdoing themselves with the flip cup tournament of flip cup tournaments. We're talking a record-breaking 64 teams, making it the world's largest flip cup tourney ever, and a prize to make it all worthwhile - a VIP trip for the winning team members to Jamaica.

Sounds easy doesn't it? Well, if you're doing it you'd better bring all your skillz, as the kidz say (Or maybe they used to say that. Or maybe they never did. We don't really care), because that's a whole lot of teams.

The games begin on October 11, so get to registerin' at FlipCupGuys.com, and read on to see the Guys' own words about what to expect from the event and the prize package.

Physical Challenge: TEGWAR Drinking Game

It's been a while since we've done a physical challenge, so we think it's high time we give you another idea for something stupid to do this weekend. TEGWAR is a drinking game we used to play in college, and we'll give you a hint: it's really only fun for the people who are in on the joke.

What you need:

• A co-conspirator
  
• Alcoholic beverages
  
• Gullible friend (s)

Other things that are helpful:

• Any other gaming-related items you have at hand (dice, cards, paper & scissors, hats, whatever)
  
• A knowledge of other drinking games you can pillage from
  
• A background in theater
  
• Wit, guile, and nerves of steel. Lacking that, you should have your running-away shoes on

To boil things down, you and your co-conspirator tell your group of friends that you have a great game to play, but one of the rules is that you can't tell them the rules. The ostensible goal of the game is for your dupes friends to figure out the rules. The true objective is to see how weird you and your ally can make things before anyone figures out that you're just making shit up.

If anyone plays this, please let us know the results down to the last contusion. See the more full description of how to play below.

Flip Cup Guys Host World's Largest Flip Cup Tournament

Ahhhh, flip cup, the sport of kings. For too long, this game has been the overlooked drinking game, or what you play when you have cups for Beirut but no ping pong balls. We just got an email from some folks, appropriately named "The Flip Cup Guys," looking to change that by organizing the world's largest Flip Cup Tournament. We're hoping they can do for FC what the World Series did for beer pong.

Keep reading for more information.

ReRack Reusable Beer Pong Cups

Let's face it - we're heading into some eco-conscious times here. It's not just hippies that are paying attention how to lessen their carbon footprints and reduce, reuse, recycle. One way to conserve is to reuse your beer pong cups instead of tearing through 30 or 40 of those red plastic keg cups every weekend night.

That's where the ReRack cups come in - they're heavier duty cups designed for beer pong, and you can use them over and over with no waste. You don't seem to be sacrificing anything for the environment, either - the cups have four different levels of fill lines which allow for the perfect amount of liquid in every cup, and they have a wider base than keg cups so there's less chance of knocking them over with an errant throw.

Each set of ReRack cups comes with 10 red cups and 10 black, as well as a rinse cup for each side. What more can you ask for to salve your eco-conscience?

Beer Pong Grenade Shots

As you probably know, there is no area of gaming more prone to "house rules" than in drinking games. Most of these games, since they aren't made by Hasbro or Milton Bradley, don't have a defined set of standard rules, so everyone seems to play by their own varations. Whether it's a discussion about whether you can sweep triples with a single two in asshole, or an argument about how you really flip the cups in flip cup, there are few things that bring rise to deeper passions. Of course, that may be because there's drinking involved.

All that said, we're not sure how to process the concept of "grenades" in beer pong. We've never heard of them, but this guy talks about them very confidently, and he says "OK" a lot. Check out the explanation of the grenade in the video below, and let us know what you think of the concept.

Happy Newman Day

Remember that scene in Cool Hand Luke where he promises to eat 50 eggs in an hour, and by God he does it? We just found out that scene has inspired an amazing tradition called Newman Day, where instead of eating eggs, they drink 24 beers in 24 hours. Well, no more time to chat - the day's wasting, and we've got to go pick up a case.

Newman Day, or (at Princeton University) Newman's Day, allegedly named after Paul Newman, is an annual tradition at Bates College, Princeton University, Kenyon College, and other colleges where 24 beers are consumed over 24 hours. It usually occurs in January at Bates and every April 24 at Princeton and other colleges. One possible explanation of the name of the tradition at Bates is that Paul Newman once said "24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not," and loosely based upon his character in the film Cool Hand Luke.

Pongerz

On paper, PONGERZ seems like a near perfect form of entertainment, considering it combines drinking, ping pong, comedic antics, and pretty girls. However, we're pretty sure part of our brain just died watching the trailer all the way through. Guess the jury's still out on this one, but it does give us hope that we will also one day find the means to put out a feature film of dubious quality.
