Gaming Makes Me Do Drugs

Gaming's New Drug Culture: Sex, Drugs and Counter-Strike

Running under and through this atmosphere of geeky amity was something else though, something completely different. For me, this entire weekend, this entire LAN, would have a taste to it unlike anything I had ever experienced before. For me it would be, and always will be, characterized by and associated with the sound of sniffing.

Snorting is the preferred method of taking Ritalin. You can ingest the capsules and let the concentrating agents enter your system as intended, or you can get a much, much faster and more intense rush by snorting the powder straight. Ritalin is now the choice substance for serious gamers who spend almost the entire party focused on the competitive gaming, and it was the sound of their habitual sniffing that would come to haunt my dreams for the following days and weeks.

So fucking funny. Hard-hitting journalism at its finest.

Isn't this a really old phenomenon? Most gamers are too poor or unconnected to get coke or anything similar, I'll wager. (The atari + jolt cola generation is what... 15 years old by now?)

And a weary sigh.

Reading the thread title, I thought it would be about pot. I mean, when I used to go to LANs or play all night at home, I'd smoke pot all night, but ritalin?

I've known kids who have done that at LAN parties. Ritalin has the power of crack.

many gamers have moved beyond simple recreational drugs to more potent and targeted narcotics.

God damn.

Professors are fucking lazy. Cure cancer or develop better cigarettes or something, you fuckheads.

Ritalin? In my day it was hash and Tron on the Intellivision.

In my day it was mulled cider and duelling.

In my day we used to press lemons with our eyelids and go berzerker with pa's tractor.

We'd run barbed wire inside our pee-holes and piss blood at each other.

In my day, we used to decorate our sweaters with sequins and play gin rummy at the dining room table.

In my days we had no system of time so we stared at the sun.

In my day we didn't have a sun, just the cold, hard vacuum of deep space.

Shouldn't that be E? I mean, if you already take something, take something helpful.

In my day, we didn't have a benevolent god, just a pantheon of dark insane gods of demanding human sacrifice. That's right, might as well throw your fancy Euclidean geometry and your Yahweh out the window. Ia ia!
