Warning: this is NOT a 'what should I take' thread. Please write your answers accordingly.

My question is, what drugs do you find best for extended hours of gameplay (probably including the ability to stay awake when one should be sleeping.) I don't want to know about illegal drugs as I don't think they fit the situation in any way. Games like world of Warcraft do become tedious and boring at times, however getting to the level you really want is always good when you get there. The said drug should also give you some increased ability to maintain focus and patience with the game, and just generally keep you enjoying playing.
 
there are better things to do with your life than do drugs and play WoW.

i don't think we do drug recommendations here. but the obvious spring to mind: caffeine, cannabis, amphetamines/methylphenidate. some people find light doses of serotonergics are good (lsd, mushrooms). some people like gaming on mdma. some people like doing opioids (you have a tendency to fall asleep so this may not be ideal). some people like e.g. ketamine or mxe.

really it comes down to personal preference. increased focus, pateince, etc sounds to me like you want e.g. caffeine + thc. or just a good rest and a hearty meal. sobriety can be underrated
 
I know there are better things to do with my life, I work nine to five to earn money and have little family but in my spare time I do enjoy gaming. And the question was solely venting my curiosity regarding the subject. I understand people have various opinions on the matter, regarding which substance would be best for the job, and that is the exact question I'm asking.
 
Well...as far as legal drugs go theres not much to choose from to maximize ur gaming experience. Back when I was a DXM head I enjoyed getting fuct up on dxm and weed and game out for hours. By the sounds of it the drug ur lookin for especially in terms of staying awake would be amphetamines. If you wanna stay away from the illegal stuff thats a shame cuz crystal meth is the bomb. If you could get ur hands on some dexedrine or adderall that would be ur best bet. It will keep u awake, give u some euphoria to enhance ur gaming experience. Thats my two cents.
 
2FMA very extended concentrated focus and increased interest. i play call of duty for 12+ hours sometimes with a single oral dose before im tired of playing. any time released amphetamine would work well to i would imagine.
 
Thanks for all the replies, very helpful information! One other question if anyone reads this, has anyone experienced phenibut and gaming? If so please explain the results!
 
Sekio is right it will depend on the persons tastes.

I was one of the top ranked players in the world on a popular FPS game a couple of years back. I was on a combination of oxycodone, xanax, and plenty of cannabis at that time. I actually don't remeber most of those games I played (thank god for the livecats/my own copies of recordings ;)).

I always found it funny that I was playing against people on uppers (mostly adderall)/too caffeine while nodding out and we were beating them 9 times out of 10. I wasn't "begin carried" by my teammates either as the game we played relied on more teamwork on both sides than any other FPS I have played before or since.

I also tried using adderall durring a game session once and it wasn't for me. I was thinking/talking so fast that I was constantly 20 steps ahead of my teammates. I didn't enjoy it, it made me a worse player, but stims have never been my thing anyway.

Also I should note that when I gave up my DOC I stopped gaming too. It just wasn't as much fun as it used to be.... I am back to playing single player games these days.
 
On a more productive note, like I said many people I know like caffeine plus THC for gaming. Some prefer just the THC though. I kind of lean towards stimulants and psychedelics for "doing things" where there are goals and e.g. reaction time, thinking skills, or just concentration required. Depressant drugs are too easy to overdo and end up either passed out, or just suffering in terms of reaction time. Dissociatives like ketamine can be a real treat if you don't take so much you lose sensation in your arms :)

Whatever you choose, if you want to perform optimally, keep your dosage moderate to avoid untoward side effects. And remember the principle of state-based learning. If you get high all the time when studying (be it amphetamines, caffeine, or THC), you will perform better if you're on the same drugs when you take a test, rather than being stone cold sober, or drunk, or whatever.

This basically means the "best drug for gaming" or even the "best drug for productivity" is a self-fulfilling prophecy kind of thing, because once you find a combination you like and do often, you will be accustomed to the "headspace" and perform better on that drug (or drugs) than if you had first tried it. (Explains why some people can smoke weed and become amazing CS:S players, but others smoke a joint and can't keep their throughts together!)

I would not imagine phenibut would be all that excellent on it's own. Nor would benzodiazepines, I don't think. Maybe if you're playing Silent Hill or something.
 
i used to play counterstrike competitively and caffeine was a major help for me at the time. I find stimulants kind of make me too paranoid and confused to play an FPS but maybe that's because i just take too much. Eventually i did all my gaming with cannabis and it helped me focus and enjoy playing. I've played counterstrike on DXM, LSD and many other psychs. A low dose is preferred as high doses will just leave you confused and your teammates pissed off at you. As for WoW, i'm not sure how big reaction time is in that game. If you don't want to do anything illegal (the good drugs are illegal btw) then i'd stick to caffeine or Ritalin if you can get a prescription.

@headphonesandlsd: that must have been a lot of fun playing all chilled out when everyone else is stimmed lol. Sometimes i find it like slowing down time, like in max payne, where i can aim easier and also focus more clearly on what's happening. Though i worry that benzos + opiates kill my reaction time, it doesn't seem to make a big difference.

^definitely think methamphetamine will solve OP's issues. You can stay up for weeks, and play non stop. I never understood the appeal of WoW.
 
For me personally I couldn't play Wow unless I was on heroin. I just didn't find it interesting or I couldn't find the motivation to do the tedious tasks in it unless I was jammed, then I loved it. I'm clean now so as you can imagine I don't play WoW anymore lol.
 
Caffeine plus cannabis, as has been said before. As an anecdote I'll say that when I was waiting to come up on acid I played some Rome: Total War online, and got so into it I didn't realise I was tripping. Never have I been so good at that game as I was during those 45 minutes.
 
coffee and marijuana LAMF! You won;t smoke pot cu it's illegal! I think you MAY be trapped in 1956 and just not know it! Because anything the government declares legal is a great reference for what you should put in your body! yeah okay! what a joke!
 
Omg hahahaha I used to take amphetamines and smoke weeds and play arenas world of watercraft. I got to 2750 and I was a baller. I stopped wow a coupe years back because it literally made me have no life. I'd much rather just chill with friends or something.

Not trying to offend you, but you might want to do other shit with your life unless you are 2900 in arenas and get payed for being a nerd. I kind of want to play Diablo three now though lol
 
^Yeah, It's kind of hilarious to think of using something like phenibut to improve your ability to play fucking video games! Hey, try Saint johns wort for a couple of weeks!! I'm sorry, but dude, smoke a little weed! for real!
 
I found that brewing Yerba Mate when I was 16 made me kick serious ass in CS Source, that before I had tried any drugs but alcohol and caffeine.

The ritual was very fun: measure proper water temp, then steep the Mate, and drink it out of a gourd with a steel bombilla (fitering) straw.

Yerba Mate doesn't only contain caffeine, it contains other xanthines, such as theobromine and theophylline, with minerals such as K, Mg, and Mn, all of which created an awesome synergy that was way more relaxing than coffee or caffeine pills.

Also, cannabis is awesome for really getting in to single player campaign games... smoking up every 2 hours during a free summer a couple years ago and playing Half-Life 2 from start to finish again, but this time stoned, was fucking awesome. Fuck, I really want to play HL2 now. :D
 
I am avid WoW player and have found my best success for hours of dungeon crawling/questing achieved with mild to moderate stimulants (caffeine-adderal) couple with copious amounts of ganja. Also if you get bored with the repetitive nature of dungeons. I usually get pretty amped by switching over to some pvp.
What server/faction do you play?
 
Weed is the most common illegal drug abused by gamers.

Although I have shot an 90% rail on acid in quake before.
 
I love opioids when I'm gaming. When I was younger and playing WoW I took hydrocodone a lot (when I had a lower tolerance of course).

I ran through HL2 last year on amphetamines, but it isn't as fun as opioids.

Low doses of ketamine while playing multiplayer video games (with the other players doing K as well) is super fun! In college I'd do some small bumps with my roommate and play the battle match in super mario bros. It was soooooo much fun haha.
