So, it seems to be the thing to do drunk reviews right now.
While it made me want to drink, I don't think I was actually drinking when I reviewed FATAL. I'm tempted to do a drunk review of that, but it's pretty long (several thousand pages) and I don't think drinking would add much.
Lets see, other ideas:
Godlike (WW2 supers game)
Rifts Juicer Uprising
After the Bomb (palladium game based on the TMNT rules, but made it's own thing)
Monster Island (Kaiju combat game. Short book, so maybe a quicky)
Cute and Fuzzy Cockfighting Seizure Monsters (BESM book for fighting mon games)
Cold Hands Dark Hearts (BESM "horror" game. Their take on WoD, I guess.)
Cyberpunk 2020
Apparently I have Little Fears, a game about playing little kids fighting boogeymen. So... that's an option.
Or, I could do a drunk review of the MLPFIM porn fanbook that was mentioned in the Cracked article Count shared.

I was mostly sober for the 2nd chapter I wrote in my review; I wish I had been shitfaced for it, but that's an aside.
I'd vote either for Cute and Fuzzy Cockfighting Monsters (the title is just too awesome for the book to go unreviewed!) or Little Fears (since the concept sounds genuinely interesting, although its implementation might be shit)
"Juicer Uprising" sounds like either a band, a bar, or (possibly) a drink named after the bar, and it's RIFTS, so I guess it would be a distant third.
But really all of those sound interesting; I'm down with anything other than My Little Porno would be good (and watch that get the most votes.)

My Little Porno would also be fairly quick. It'd be like reviewing a comic.
Juicer Uprising was the RIFTS sourcebook dealing with one of the more insane, but not completely insane, classes in RIFTS. Basically, you played Bane from Batman, being a person enhanced with a cocktail of steroids, combat drugs and pure awesome. It made you super durable, super strong, and all around super human. However, you would die within 7 years. As if that matters for an adventurer in the land of Pink Mist Guns. Juicer Uprising talked more about them, and added some variations.

God, it may be fun to review Rifts books. I accumulated over a dozen of those craprags in highschool. Horrible system, but we had fun.
There's awful rules, no attempt at balance, or editing, or layout. While there's good art at times, there's also any time Siembieda is allowed to ruin a perfectly fine piece of paper with a pen since it's his property.
It almost feels like a low-hanging fruit to review Rifts tho. *checking*... Sure enough, the something awful guys have gone for those low hanging fruits (Juicer, Japan, Core, Canada).

I can't remember anything about the system of Little Fears, but you're supposed to feel bad after playing it. And while playing it. It's horror, from the perspective of small children, and the book seriously does mention abduction and alcoholic parents and paedophiles and stuff. And we all know how kids are great at solving those pro- oh wait.
I think it's really the kind of thing that some people just put in their roleplaying shelf to show they're not *just* mainstream D&D/WoD/SR, they totally have some artsy edgy stuff. They don't actually play it.

Well, it's conceptually interesting. It seems somewhat similar to Grimm, which deals with kids fighting folklore monsters in the world of the fairy tales.
So, exactly the same concept, I guess. Grimm was d20, though.

Nymphology- the sex joke book of the Encyclopedia Arcana series by Mongoose.

I can't really do a Drunken Review until next Friday because of reasons. But at that point I could do one. There are several options for D&D-related drunk reviews:
Schwarzkopf wrote:The Den, your one-stop shop for in-depth analysis of Dungeons & Dragons and distressingly credible threats of oral rape.
DSM wrote:Apparently, The GM's Going To Punch You in Your Goddamned Face edition of D&D is getting more traction than I expected. Well, it beats playing 4th. Probably 5th, too.

BoEF.
4e DMG would also be cool, but BoEF is head and shoulders above the rest.
Make sure to buy in to the premise.

One casting every six seconds at CL9 gives you a bit more than 40 liters per second, which is comparable to the flow rates of some small, but serious, rocket engines. Six items running at full blast through a well-engineered engine will put you, and something like 50 tons of cargo, into space. Alternatively, if you thrust sideways, you will briefly be a fireball screaming across the sky at mach 14 before you melt from atmospheric friction.

I don't think that is any excuse for a game to have bad mechanics.

I think BoEF is your destiny.

I want to try my hand at this so-called "drunken reviewing". I haven't contributed anything to this board except for mild trolling yet.
I do have electronic copies of nearly every D20 book (if not all of them), so I'm willing to take requests. Or take something that's a runner-up in someone else's list. Or if I don't get any request, I'll take one that has been requested and hasn't been done next week (hours got cut at my second job, I have more time than usual next week).
