Everyone loves a good drinking game, and everybody loves Forbidden Transmission. So it was only natural that the guys behind Forbidden Transmission decided to put together a mixtape that encourages you to get really drunk before the next mixtape starts.

The rules of this drinking game are as simple as they come. When the screen says drink, you drink. You can drink as much or as little as you want, though I would recomment you coming prepared with something strong. Make it a real competition. Whiskey, vodka, or for the more daring, ouzo... Or maybe a comination of a lot of different alcohol! If you remember the whole thing the first time you watch it, you have failed. Honestly, it took me around 30 rounds of playing to actually remember each individual clip, and a lot of them are still very hazy.
The kinds of clips you are treated to in this mixtape are pretty standard. There's no hardcore pornography or anything in it, but there is a bit of nudity. You'll be treated to some cheesy clips like Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla and Vanilla Ice's Go Ninja, Go rap from that Ninja Turles live action film (that was also incredible)

But that's not all you get when you subject your friends to this drinking game. Oh no! See, while seeing a guy who's legs were amputated in a kung foo movie and listening to some incredible power metal by Thor is absolutely a brilliant way to spend an evening, the game has a way of making you not want to drink when it tells you to drink. You are treated to some truly remarkable images along the journey, that start out simple. The first drink card is easy mode, without a doubt, while some of the others are... Well, I want to say better but I'll let you be the judge:

For the most part, there isn't much in this mixtape that would be considered to be as obscure as a lot of the other mixtapes that are out there, but that isn't necessarily a drawback. See, some people prefer to start their friends off easy to gather their reactions to the less crazy stuff before they send them into a downward spiral of madness (not me, I usually start people off with Crazy Dave; but more on those guys later). This mixtape is absolutely perfect for that.
You'll probably still hear them ask "what the fuck did I just see?" fomr anyone who hasn't been exposed to mixtapes before, but it wont be even remotely as severe as it could be. Hell, once the figure it out, they'll probably be lulled into a false sense of security that they will probably regret later on when they have their head in the toilet with a concoction of red wine and vomit covering the floor and walls (yep, I'm guilty as charged of that one).

Now, everyone has a certain clip that they remember most (if you ask my brother he'll say something about E.T. being violated, but don't listen to him. He's crazy.), and this mixtape has a couple, but so as to not spoil too much more of the mixtape for you, I'll only post about one. I'm not sure where this clip came from, but it is absolutely amazing. It's probably from a documentary.
Anyway, we are seeing a bunch of metal fans standing outside a venue yelling and screaming metal fans do. They jump around, headbang, raise their arms like the Nazis did and scream incoherently about the amazing music they are about to listen to and all in all look to be having a very special time. This is kind of a funny sight in of itself, but there's something else about this clip that just makes it special.

In the above screenshot you can see a man standing in the background who just looks out of place, even though he is wearing dark colours like the rest of the people in the crowd. He's notable for not making any sounds whatsoever or moving very much. He simply stares in the general direction of the camera with a completely disconnected look on his face. He's either having a very good time, or a very bad time. I can't see much middle ground in this one.
This guy is absolutely hilarious to watch throughout, even though he doesn't seem to actually do anything. I guess its to do with how much he differs from the crowd, and no, I'm not talking about the colour of his skin. Even the camera man noticed how out of place and funny this guy looks compared to the rest of the crowd and decided to zoom in on him. After all, he's easily the most interesting thing going on in this scene, because we all know metal heads are going to be hyperactive when there's a camera in the mix.

His face suggests one of two things. He's on something, or he's bipolar and isn't sure if he actually wants to go to a metal show. I try to give the man some credit and imagine the latter is the case, in which I assume that after the clip he went home to his nice, clean apartment and slept the night away, but the truth is he probably forgot what he was doing and returned to his cardboard box for the night after scrounging some dumpsters for food. Well, okay, that's incredibly rude of me to say, so how's this. He probably went into the show with his metal head friends and had a banging time. He is the king of the mosh pits.
Want proof? Surely this will do?

And that is the last we see of this man, but not the last great clip in this mixtape. In fact, they save the best clip for last, as a way to congratulate you for lasting all the way to the end, and at less than 40 minutes long that can't be too hard, right?
So really, get your friends together and play this hilariously fun drinking game as soon as you can. You'll only sort of regret it. How do I rate this mixtape?
Humour
This mixtape is fairly funny, you'll get a fair number of laughs out of it, especially as intoxication takes effect. With that said, being a brilliant way to start an evening, it will get people talking and laughing regardless of their moods. So, I give it four out of five tubby kids
Insanity
Overall this one isn't overly insane, but I think that's the point. This mixtape is probably the perfect one for someone who has never seen a mixtape before, so for that reason alone it wont score highly here. Getting you drunk is its only purpose, which give it at least some bonus points, so I would rate it two "Otto"s out of five.
Quality
A very high quality mixtape. Probably amongst the top mixtapes for quality, it feels like a proper mixtape even though it isn't your standard mixtape. I would give this one a five out of five broken vhs tapes.
By now I hope you are wondering where you can get this mixtape. I recall this one being fairly popular, so it really shouldn't be too hard to locate online, however if you do have problems, my email address is in the info bar!
Anyway, that's all from me, until next time, keep circulating the tapes!
