The music fits really well for some strange reason.

I'll try this out later, along with some Cecil Taylor.

Alcohol makes me not care about score, not that I really do anyway, but I die every 30 seconds.

Weed makes me overwhelmed with how cooool the games look. I can still focus quite well and wind up getting sucked in by the game so much that I often do slightly above-average.

Caffeine helps.

I know a guy who did. His shot-down rate was like....12%. He then asked me how I turned my kitchen into a supercomputer.

That night didn't make a lotta sense. But god was he trippin' balls.

and depending on the type, it has more than some coffees beverages

I always thought tea usually had MUCH less than coffee and it seemed like the perfect dose for me. Could've been just placebo all the time though.

black teas and even green teas have almost as much if not just as much as coffee(not espresso or cappucino)

herbal teas usually dont have caffeine tho

apparently caffeine in coffee is easier for your body to process than that found in teas...dont ask me why tho

Green tea? Somehow I doubt that has anywhere near the caffeine concentration of coffee... you have a source? That's very surprising if it's true!

Tea leaves contain more caffeine per weight than coffee beans, but normally brewed tea contains less caffeine than normally brewed coffee. Tea also contains l-theanine which counteracts some of the caffeine side effects.

The main problem with such heavy hallucinogens is that you can hardly tell what's going on the screen, let alone control it. :)
I expect something like MDMA, 2CB, or DOM/STP to perform muuuch better with REZ.

google my friend

http://www.green-tea-expert.com/green-tea-caffeine.html

i cant find the article i read before, but this one has green tea caffeine levels being much lower than i recall....but it does contain caffeine...about the same as a can of coke depending on type and how its prepared

i was as surprised as you...i had started drinking it in the evenings instead of coffee and i couldnt understand why i was still so wired.....

For those who know me, I have a really horrible Red Bull® habit…

I have been able to put back 5+ 8.4 ounces cans in an evening alone…
While at work, I've gone through 4 cans and then will drink 2-3 more in the afternoon.
I am sure one of the succeeding posts will mention how bad it is for my health and that my blood is getting bad and so on and so forth… I have an addiction. I have cut back on occasion though but then times call for when I want to be at a higher level and I go right back to the drink…

And for drugs, about 4 years ago, I had a friend hook me up with vicoden and when I was playing games, I feel good

I didn't get frustrations when I was to play bad and I just enjoy myself… I usually have a few on hand these days during winter for when snow removal becomes a chore and I need relief. A pill will last me for hours and I usually find extra enjoyment playing while I taken a pill.

Tannic acid in tea inhibits the absorption of some psychotropic alkaloids, which are bases, by forming insoluble tannates.

I don't know whether caffeine tannate is soluble, but google suggests it is less powerful.

Small doses might help. I know when I was prescribed Adderall because I was sleeping too much as a result of radiation therapy, that stuff really helped my concentration. I saved some of the pills and used them for school work, but they helped with games as well

I once broke my DDP survival record while drunk, I made to 2-6 I think. I think I posted in the "I'm drunk thread" too.

That drug by the name of Vicodin is pretty powerful stuff. It can become habit forming as well not to mention can make you constipated as well. Take one and you might as well "fly to the moon". But if you're in a lot of pain, Vicodin is what you'd need for relief. ^_~

I did this with a friend once and by the time we reached level 5 we both had to turn it off. The destruction and recreation of the universe through the medium of polygons is the last thing you need in that state.

Have you ever tripped out on Squaresoft's iS: internal section game while on "xxx" drug? Since it's already running at 640 x 480 res with 60fps but with interlaced graphics...Square/Enix should do a 1080p sequel or (at the very least) a remake of internal section. It's about damn time they did another one. A possible working title of "iSe - internal section eternal" would seem do-able as it is catchy & rhymes when said out aloud. Dress up/spice up the internal section sequel with some new skins and wild background scenery + new enemies & end-stage bosses to keep it from getting stale and old-hat. Add some more new in-stage mini-games/puzzlers as well. ^_~

This thread needs more groobo.

I've tried both Rez and Internal Section while baked. It's no contest. IS didn't do anything for me, while Rez was some truly fucking amazing shit. Rez is pretty much the perfect game for this because it's really easy and also it's simple to play for survival and easy to tell what's going on.

Vib-Ribbon was a disappointment because it's a rhythm game and I couldn't get very far. Same with Frequency. I haven't tried Space Giraffe but I think it would just be too much shit going on. But Tempest 2000 worked really well actually. This thread also made me realize possibly the one redeeming factor for E4, which is godawful when sober. I'm sure this is old news but maybe I'll find out later.

LOL
I am thinking E4 may be a fun game while messed up? I need to give this a try… same goes for Rez.

Its been a long time, but I have the crave to smoke some green

It just sucks that my friend whom I smoke with back in the days, has long since moved to Florida… I really have no one to smoke with and smoking alone is not fun. I remember when we used to get blazed and play Super Mario World and Mega Man 5…

I tried playing DDP and a few Psikyo games after taking a couple blotters. It proved too difficult since, among other things, time flowed at different rates depending on where my ship was on screen. If I was at the bottom of the screen, everything pretty much was about normal, but if I moved my ship even halfway up the screen, time in the room I was sitting in sped up too much for me to keep up with what was going on.

Yeah, I have this same issue. I just wanted to ask, did you ever try Yoshi's Island? I'd have to imagine it'd be better than SMW. Those levels where you "touch fuzzy, get dizzy" are already jacked up.

This was around 1993/1995, my high school days. We would go to my friends home, as they were not aware to our activities… my friend only had SMW, Lemmings, MKII and NBA Jam for his SNES. Lemmings does not work well when messed up lol. The thing is one player games where we alternated was the most fun. Each one play a stage and the rest of us watch and comment in jokes…

nash87 · Post by **nash87** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:41 pm

not that i've ever done it but...doing meth and playing fighting games instead of shmups, sounds like a better idea. being twitchy jittery would just make shmups frustrating as hell. some of them are already referred to as bullet hell. so why would you want to make hell even worse on yourself? Unless it gives you some sort of sick pleasure, the bullet hell i mean not the meth. whereas with fighting games, being twitchy and unpredictable would be much more of a thrill. I played soulcalibur and street fighter with some co-workers. they sucked pretty bad, then they started doing hash out of gatorade bottles and snorting crap. their gameplay improved tremendously! It wasn't meth (maybe it was at some point) but you get what i mean.

The next day I saw one of them riding a pallet jack with blood shot eyes and a cardboard tube stuck on his hand yelling "you'll never get me DR. Wiley!!! zheoo! zheoo!"

I have played a FPS LAN/Tourney while taking about 30mg of dextroamphetamine over the span of about 5 hours. 10mg at first and then 5mg per hour. My most productive was during the 2nd hour after that I kept getting less acurate most likely due to how much stimulant was in my system. I also started drinking a bit of whiskey around the the 3.5 hour mark, though not as much as I normally would to get drunk. I have played shmups high on weed and slightly buzzed on whiskey, under both instance if I am not very stoned/drunk I tend to play a bit better then sober, but to much of either and good bye ability to play. I have however played DDR whilst out of my fucking mind mind on about 600-700mg of DXM powder.....while it was fun I have no idea if I was playing well or not.

It's never good to have too much caffeine, regardless of what it's for. The jitters, fatigue, and other nasty side-effects just aren't worth it.

ever tried playing shmups on amphetamines?
