Getting High Hurts Your Gaming Skills...

It's not getting high that hurts your gaming skills.

It's trying to HOLD THE B0NG, TAKE A RIP, AND PASS IT while playing the game. And coughing while playing. And people from the circle stepping in front of you and blocking your vision so you can't defend.

Now, if you're talking sustainable 300+ APM you'd better have trained for years in the mental state to be competitive, but if you always trained high you'd definitely be better high than not. Personally, my APM's go way up when I'm high because I'll zone to music then, while not high I refuse to do anything other than casual gaming.

Of course...I'm sure the professional gamer can't handle casually smoking...because he's got something huge up his butt or something...so obviously he wouldn't know how to compensate for such a hardcore drug like weed...cuz pro gamers are so stupid...or something...

It's like straight edgers write this crap imagining what it'd be like to do drugs for the first time. Oh god...yeah you'd suck at video games then! I tried to play Soul Calibur 2 in the arcade against some kids while tripping hard on Acid one time...OMG BAD IDEA!
 
First off Warble, no matter how long you wait, you will never be able to post here without regretting it, not even you can JI our meme posts.

Secondly I actually have to agree on a serious note when you mentioned straight edge people talking about what they imagine it must be like to be high.

i never really had a problem with holding the bong i like to look at the computer fight the computer until i get done and and i like to smoke by myself so i don't have to pass it.

lol Acid is one thing i would not do but i seen I'm bro play DOA while Acid he was think he was Jann Lee while he was playing and he look at Brad Wong 4 ending for like 30mins
 
I smoke weed very casually lately and i found out that i play pretty bad when i'm high.
I'm always fooling around way too much. Try new stuff when i'm in the last round and low on health with the back to the edge lol.
It is good for theory or practice mode though. When you're thinking about new stuff to do.

When playing drunk i actually seem to get better. Or rather more merciless. I once played so hammered that my vision seemed to black out for half a second every few seconds. Was like having my own lag in my head lol.
I still won because i thought less and played more instinctive. And i didn't hold anything back like i sometimes do when playing sober.
 
I play much better when high on cannabis. It gives you a feeling of stretched out time (in case there is someone reading this post who havent tried it) which i often think of as moving out of time. Most ppl refer to this as everything moving in slow motion. Furthermore cannabis is not just a tranqualiser like some ppl think, it actually increase activity in the frontal lobes so its logically to assume it also effects your thinking...A funny parallell is that im a musician (classical guitar) and during a class i played high with no one else knowing about it and everybody felt i played much better than i usually do. This could be because it dampened my nervousness but it could also be because.....All this being said, be carfeful cause ive seen more than one person get fucked up cause of drug overuse!!!
 
lol yup thats why you not good at games for long cuz you think you the Character. i played a lot of ppl that was on heroin its a lot harder to bet them idk why
 
Funny you should say that... i suspected my mate had taken some heroin.. cuz he was using Voldo and started making gimpy noises at the tv screen... i thought he was just strung out but maybe he thought he was the actual character..
 
maybe. or it might have been something else like some really good weed could make you think your the character but thats if you let it
 
I do think everyone is different.
For most people who fight better stoned, it may be because they are so used to this mind state (smoke alot) that they are, of course, going to play better when they're in this familiar state. As those who aren't as used to the head change (aren't high all the time) suffer from it's effects while playing.

However...
I'm not sure how to explain the rest of us. I don't really smoke that much, but when I do, though my social interactions may suffer, I seem to focus... differently. Opennings seems longer, attacks easier to dodge, moves executed almost before I decide to do them. Also I seem to get "merciless" -an unfortunate trait when your opponant is one to easily give up.

I'm not saying drugs make anything Better. This is just the effect it has on me.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl has that awesome "Pause and Take a Picture" feature I wish was in more games. Most of the coolest pictures I have seen (in that game) have been random "Pause for the Cause" moments where you see a cool picture waiting for your hit.

Drinking, however, doesn't seem to help game skills at all (which makes sense -though there are Drunken Masters). That's why when we play "Drink Calibur" the winner drinks. Evens things out a bit.

Halucinagens? I get distracted pretty easy when I'm sober! I remember playing someone in Soul Calibur II, while I was tripping, and in the thick of damage exchange put down my controller to see where my cat had gone.
