The Power up, Plug in, and Tune Out Drinking Game: How alcohol will save you from digital oppression
Omens in "Ghost in the Shell," "The Matrix" and "Lain" predict a world usurped by computers where humanity is trapped in a digital world, removed from the corporeal pleasures of alcohol. Before it's too late, fight your assimilation with inebriation! Here are some tips from the analog underground to subvert the epower.
Rule 1:
If you spend more than three hours a day in front of the computer, schedule beer runs on the hour to get you out into the sun.
Rule 2:
If most correspondence with your friends takes place through email or instant messenger programs, agree to meet at the bar tonight for socializing.
Rule 3:
If you develop a permanent low-frequency buzz in your ear, drown the technology imp with a little hard liquor.
Rule 4:
If you, or any of your family or friends experience gaps in their digital framework, drink to correct the inconsistency.
Rule 5:
If your identification number begins to look a little too much like a name, or if you begin to respond to your login name in non-chat room casual conversation, slam-shot some sense into yourself.
Rule 6:
Remember, being an alcoholic is better than being a disembodied consciousness in a vast web of electronic impulses.
Kampai!
