****THE PARASITE EVE DRINKING GAME**** by Fritz Fraundorf - fritz@thegia.com 1 DRINK WHENEVER: - Someone pantomimes picking up a telephone receiver, but leaves the actual receiver in place (add another drink if they later "hang up") - Aya or Daniel drives somewhere by always going in a straight line - All the poison in Aya's bloodstream vanishes as soon as no monsters are in sight - Maeda gives Aya a completely useless trinket (2 drinks if said trinket can't be placed in storage) - A dying / wounded cop gives Aya an item - A car is seen moving around in NYC after the city has been evacuated - The player saves by calling the police station from inside the police station - Daniel tries to solve a problem with violence - A mutated wild animal drops medicine and/or clips of ammunition when killed - Aya forgets that her sister is dead and talks to Maya's ghost - A new day starts and Aya is wearing the same clothes as she did the previous day - A sudden telephone call is used to introduce a new plot element - Aya is unable to open a door or cabinet because she isn't facing it at the right angle (2 drinks if it takes an especially long time for the player to find the correct "hot spot" - use your best judgment as to how long) 2 DRINKS WHENEVER: - Klamp does something blatantly suspicious - An assault weapon is found inside a box lying in the middle of a zoo, a hospital, or the American Museum of Natural History - Someone editorializes about gun control (3 drinks if Aya then uses a gun to defeat a terrifying, rampaging mutant within the next 10 minutes) - Mitochondria are described as "organisms" - Someone from the NYPD breaks into a building or room without a warrant - Maeda uses his allegedly poor English skills to explain a complicated scientific theory - Carnegie Hall is referred to as "the opera house" - Someone uses an arbitrary excuse for preventing Maeda from giving his special bullets to Aya - Bullets are removed from one category of gun and placed into another (i.e., from a shotgun to a grenade launcher, etc.) - Aya accepts a horse-drawn carriage ride from her arch-nemesis 3 DRINKS WHENEVER: - Aya uses her omniscient knowledge of locks to determine that a key is no longer useful - A nuclear bomb is detonated in New York without harming any of the city - An NYPD beat cop speaks fluent Japanese - A climactic battle occurs at the Statue of Liberty - Aya starts running the wrong direction during a chase scene because the camera angle changed - The NYPD acts with complete disregard to the media (i.e., Daniel punching out a reporter, Aya babbling during the press conference, etc.) - Aya is carrying more than 4 guns and/or pieces of body armor at one time - Manhattan is calmly evacuated with no protest from any citizens, no looting, and no regard as to where the evacuated citizens will go
