There are times when you just need a drink. The frustration rises after hours of grindage and the sweet taste of cola just doesn’t hit the spot. You want something stronger, maybe a Lavos, Magus, or R-66Y…are these the drinks you seek  or distant memories calling forth the silent hero within you?

Students of the IT University of Copenhagen have once again introduced us to some videogame themed fare. This menagerie of drinks pools together Denmark’s expertise in alcohol with their love of games into 12 unique elixirs.

As a friendly gesture to all our readers I’ve gone ahead and converted the bar measurements to ounces. After tossing a few of these back I wouldn’t want to force you to convert centiliters in your inebriated head. I expect you all to make some of these at your next party. Send us some pics.

Full list of drinks and a handy printable table after the break.

Electronic Gaming Monthly (aka 1up.com) recently managed to catch infamous Ninja Gaiden developer Tomonobu Itagaki off-guard and pretty decently sloshed for an entertaining impromptu interview wherein he spouted such shit-faced gems like, “Yeah, I think I’ll be speaking a lot in metaphors. I hope you don’t mind that,” and  “I don’t think that developing for the PS3 is hard at all. It was much harder developing for the Famicom.”

He also says that in reference to long-time rival Devil May Cry developer Hideki Kamiya, “the weaker dog barks more,” insinuating his outspokenness is a cover for some personal weaknesses. Strong words. The whole interview is worth reading and gives us a little deeper insight into the fascinating and endlessly egotistical mind of Itagaki.

Students of Denmark’s IT University of Copenhagen recently threw a Mario-themed night at Scrollbar, their local bar. Many of them being Video Game majors they went as far as to create 10 drinks based off the Mario universe. Some of them cocktails, others shots but all of them look pretty cool, like the Bowser cocktail pictured above of which they say:

Bowser

Fiery red-yellow gradient drink… with some bite!
2 cl Tequila
1 cl Coin-treau
5 cl Orange juice
1 cl Grenadine

Directions:
Stir first three ingredients, then drop in Grenadine for the gradient effect. Serve with ice in tall glass.

Garnish:
Blood orange wedge

Notes:
Modified ‘Tequila Sunrise’ – the Cointreau adds a nice twist.

Do geeks know how to party or what? Check out the link of their whole menu, see more pictures of the event and even download some stencils to make your own Mario decorations.
