Try These Six Game Themed Cocktails at your New Year's Party
Wed Dec 28, 2011 at 12:30 PM ETTags: Booze, Videogames, Cool Stuff (all tags)
They're painfully pun filled but delightfully booze filled.
Do you love videogames? Do you love drinking? Now you can do both! Okay, you could always drink while playing videogames but these game themed cocktails are still pretty sweet.
The Guardian UK put together a list of game themed cocktails courtesy of bartender James Dance and they're definitely good to go for your next party. They're all themed around the big games of 2011, both in ingredients and appearance.
The coolest among them are the 'Portal 2' themed orange and blue drinks and "Elderflower Scrolls: Skyyrum" which is themed completely around 'Skyrim' puns. You've got to hand it to them for that one.
If you're looking for flashy though, you'll want to go with "Uncharted 3: Drinks Deception." It's a drink that includes Goldschlager, ginger beer, overproof rum and - wait for it - fire. Light the shot, drop it into your ginger beer and drink. We're going to advise that this is a drink you make at the beginning of the night, what with the fire and all.

Redbox Kiosks Start Renting Games in June
Mon May 02, 2011 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Redbox, Videogames (all tags)
On June 17th, gamers will be able to pick up titles at kiosks for $2 a night.
This might not come as a surprise, but Redbox is doing well. The DVD rental kiosks have expanded to Blu-ray and are now expanding even further - to videogames.
Redbox says that over 21,000 locations will offer videogames at a price of $2 a night. This is after a successful test that began in late 2009 and will add to the $1 DVDs and $1.50 Blu-rays currently offered at Redbox Kiosks.
"With more than 21,000 redbox locations slated to feature video game rentals alongside movies this June," says company president Mitch Lowe, "redbox will be the one-stop shop for entertainment."
