LSD and Gaming

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there that has experimented with this?

I find the results pretty interesting.

The first time I did this I dropped 2 hoffman 2010's and played QuakeLive for 16 hours straight. I felt like I was absolutely kicking ass, and had never played so well and had so much fun. A few days later at work, I thought it would be funny to look back on the stats and see how terrible I really was...

To my surprise it really was the best I have ever played. I guess I was proper in the zone.

My 2nd and 3rd experience was playing 2 player co-op on a game called Alien Swarm thats free on Steam. It's designed for 4 player co-op, so me and a friend took the challenge of completing this game with only 2 people on the Brutal difficulty on acid. It took us 2 16+ hour sessions... but we did it. I only wish I had recorded it, because it was quite simply fucking nuts.

I have another friend who's a gamer and I know has taken LSD, so I asked him if he had ever experienced this. He said he had only done it once on Super Mario Brothers 2 on the Nintendo, lol, but said he managed to complete the game like it was nothing, while having a conversation with 2 other people, and thinking about something else at the same time. That was pretty much my experience too.

Anyone else experimented with this at all??
 
i enjoy gaming on acid quite a bit actually. fable 2 is a great one, the landscapes are beautiful sober and the colors almost glow while tripping. elder scrolls 4 is also a favorite of mine. i could wander around oblivion for hours just taking in the view. you can really almost feel like youre in the game yourself, especially with oblivion when im tripping at my cousins house cuz she has a projector we hook up and make a whole wall our tv screen =)
@kenyadigit? - the bluelight rules advise against using SWIM as it is supposed to be a useless acronym, just an fyi =)
 
one night i came up to a mushroom trip playing Geometry wars on Xbox 360, its a fun game somewhat like asterioids but with awesome colors. I usually make it a point to play halo or GTA 4 everytime im tripping for a little bit cause its always a good time haha. i spent the entirety of a mushroom trip playing Counter Strike: Source one night that was pretty intense because i went into my Ventrillo channel and put on the headphones and everyone was going nuts. it condused me
 
It wasn't LSD, but a few years back I ate a couple mushroom chocolates and played MechAssault for about 6 hours and, like your experience, it was the best I had ever played. I was kicking so much ass I ditched other people I was supposed to trip with just to keep playing. Definitely an awesome time, but its the only time I've done that.
 
On the tail end of a 4-AcO-DMT trip, I played kirby's epic yarn. I was blown away by how beautiful of a game they managed to make; music, graphics, laid back gameplay. I did pretty well also.

When I tried 2c-I, I found videogames to be impossible for me, couldn't focus and absorb myself in the game at all. I wonder if tryptamine lend themselves to this sort of thing more than PEA's.
 
It depends alot on the kind of game. MMOG, strategy, or any sort of turn based game are harder, and a waste of a trip.

Games depending on reflex, timing, etc, where you can get "in the zone", are more fun, and seem to be made easier while tripping. The "super powers" effect, where you play better than usual, only works if you're already comfortable playing the game though.

Pinball is just like any other reflex game (only of course far better, since it's pinball), but DDR, i found very difficult; I kept getting distracted by the feel of the pad under my feet (was playing barefoot on a quality soft pad).
 
I played COD:MW2 on the end of a mushroom trip and finished TD 20:8. As I came down more I got worse. It's not my peak performance but it's certainly not a bad score.
 
Played Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (original mega drive) on some acid a while back, was absolute madness, tracers flying out of sonic and the level moving up and down. I managed to get to around the 5-6th level before I paused and the controller got stuck. :(
 
I've spent several nights playing Halo 2 while on mushrooms, ketamine, or lsd.
It was indeed great fun but using a psychedelic for just this purpose leaves me with a sense of self failure. I felt as though the substance could have been put to much better use (ie introspection or the like) :\
 
I used to play a lot of fps games while on 2c-e. Psychedelics make gaming so immersive. Since i am a gaming addict i've combined all of my favourite psychs while gaming. 4-aco-dmt with a 2c while playing red dead redemption is one of my more favoured experiences. I find i get way too confused when i play online against others although with lower doses my reaction time is great and i can get myself into some sort of primitive mindstate while playing.
 
Im kinda of a Black Op's crack head so I always seem to play it for part of a trip (less than an hour) and its always really cool and intense but at the same time I feel like id rather listen to music or watch a movie so i get off.

It's a drug, you gotta enjoy it's more fun - less introspective moments at some point too!
 
Yeah I know, I just felt like if I wanted to have more fun while playing I'll just smoke weed or something.

I get pretty serious when playing Halo and I'm sure I don't need to say that playing while tripping is gonna throw off your game. So even though I was having a lot of fun, I still chuckled at times by how I would get frustrated at myself that I should have done this or that better, or that I fucked this or that up. :D

I couldn't stop laughing.
 
I played the first level of blackops while peaking. Shit was intense as fuck. oh and geometry wars.
