    Gaming and drinking craft beer is my happy zone. It’s my escape from the awfulness of this world these days.

    Yup. Usually RPG’s.....Skyrim, Fallout, Assassin’s Creed, etc...

    Really looking forward to Red Dead Redemption 2. Although my gaming time is severely limited by two young daughters. I mostly play during naps or late at night.

    Preordered it the other day.

    I work nights at my job 3 days a week (12 hour nights), so my better half is used to me staying up until 4am on my nights off. Gives me plenty of time to play my games.

    I was playing Silent Hill 2 HD on PS Now last night while enjoying some 3 Floyds Zombie Dust :slight_smile:

    I very rarely play video games, but when I do, there is always beer. Rockband is still my favorite. Say what you will.

    Let's just say I'm going to lose a few weekends to Red Dead Redemption 2, and there will be beer in the mix.

    I have my beer fridge within arms reach of my gaming computer at my new place, so there is nearly always something in my glass.

    I never played the original Red Dead Redemption, but the sequel may be the first game I buy since Fallout 4. I have a bottle of Spaghetti Western that would make for an ideal start to my first Red Dead 2 session.

    Sure... The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Witcher series games have been the big three for me...

    Best to stick to serious middle aged pursuits like online beer forums :wink:

    I haven't done so in a year or so actually, but a session of Civilization or XCom wouldn't be the same without beer.

    Now we're talking, I never play any of those without a beer.

    Yes, I game quite a lot in my free time actually. And I always have a beer in front of me. I tend to prefer RPG's like Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect. I also really enjoy action and shooters like Far Cry, Tomb Raider, and Battlefield. And as a few of you have said, I to have pre-ordered and am eagerly awaiting Red Dead Redemption 2.

    Games usually slow my drinking down too much, I forget I have a beer and it gets warm. I don't play them much anymore. Still, when I do, I still open a beer. Shrug.

    Most definitely. It's a lot easier with something slower paced (Elder Scrolls, Witcher, Fallout, Destiny, etc.) but I'm known to take sips between rounds of Street Fighter and Mario Kart.

    DUI Mario Kart 64 was a staple of my college experience.

    I don't game as much as I used to, but playing Baldur's Gate II right now, keeping it old school. I like to keep gaming and having some brews strictly separate though, to be honest.
