Not to contribute to the topic - he's opening a bar in Brisbane with Yug from Australian Gamer and another bloke. Cocktails and videogames, basicly. If I have to go home, then I'll be putting in a resume, that's for sure - the concept for the place sounds brilliant.
Brisbane? Do I have to go that far north to get a gaming-themed cocktail? Sheesh. Although, if I did go, I'd be sure to wear, like, 5 hats to out-hat Yahtzee.
If anyone has any Game themed cocktails, I'll pass them on to Yug.
Edit - I should note that in the event they did decide to employ me, Yatzee would be one of my three bosses. I wouldn't be working with him as such, just one of the minions.

I guess the other bloke is Matt, the third guy in Game Damage.
Warning, half-hour video. That should be Yahtzee, Yug and Matt in that order on still image before playing:

No, it's not. They(Yug and Yahtzee) Explicitly stated in the Australian gamer podcast that the third person wasn't Matt, but was someone who very few people listening would know.
Huh. I just realized that Yatzee and I have the same (or very similar) hat.
Anyways, videogame related drinks. What games have drinks in them, and what good puns/combinations can people think of? I think classic (NES, old PC Games) stylings would be better than more modern stuff.
Ooh. Spherical ice cubes. I need to do that. Does anyone know where I could find a mold that would allow me to do so? I don't want to have to make my own mold.

It's just a trilby
The idea of a bar which has video games without turning into a booze saturated LAN centre is pretty awesome, though I have to wonder how well it will work
The standard 'Mario', red drink in a small shotglasspipe. The 'Red Mushroom', just the 'Mario' only big, served in a tall green pipe. The 'Fire Flower', same as the 'Red Mushroom' only with something spicy added.
Metroid: spherical ice cubes.
An orange drink with green ice spheres. Then doctor the colours so that when they ice spheres melt, the drink turns either dark red or dark blue. Spherical cubes, oh lol, I typed the same at first, but spherical cubes!
@Irascible, could you for a change end your fucking sentences? And learn to quote will you.

I can only but try.

Mario Cocktail: is served in a tall green pipe. Yoshi Cocktail: has a small cookie on a stick. Metroid: spherical ice cubes.
Cheers Lads, Good suggestions - I'll see what I can do as for recipes for these. The challenge is that I don't want to just have "Oh, It's a Bloody Mary in a Highball, with a mushroom for garnish" - I'm going to actually have some work ahead of me.
I feel it would be unfaithful to the theme if I didn't produce the drink in a rush, and then pour it into a hole in New Mexico.
Label the glasses for an E.T. New Mexico. Can't help you with recipe ideas though. I don't drink alcohol, so I have no freaking idea what would not taste horrible.

The E.T. would have to be a saki-bomb style drink. You pour saki/another liquor that is tolerable when mixed with beer, and drop it into a large mug full of beer (which also has a sandy coloring). If it would work, I'd recommend a cranberry drink for the liquor. They mixed cranberry syrup with beer during my sister's wedding as a house cocktail, and the mixture was surprisingly tasty.

It's the E.T.. If it tastes good and isn't ridiculously strong, you're most likely doing it wrong.
