Drugs + Games = ...

Laura of GAMElitist.com - "I’ve just returned from a weekend away with the girls to Amsterdam. It’s a crazy place; sex, drugs… and more drugs. I was sitting having a smoke the other day feeling positively fantastic, and I noticed an arcade machine in the corner of the bar."

[Throwaway2020]

I like the creative writing piece at the start to explain why the drugs they were taking were legal. Anyone who's seen a thing or 2 could tell you this. Drugs tend to improve things (FYI:alcohol is drug it's just legal in most places). And lets be honest, weed might as well be legal if tobacco is.
But I really don't wanna get into that. Also, on coke or similar stimulants people I've seen have been in no mood to play videogames LOL, nice try though

A coked up gamer would own a pothead any day. It's probably the best gaming drug you could take.

Drugs + Games = Tuesday.

[TheBossMan]

What kind of job do you have? Are you in a band? Architects, perhaps?

EDIT: This article is retarded. The reason you think weed makes things better is because it makes you retarded, and everyone knows retarded people enjoy the sh!t out of everything they do. Ever seen a sad retard? No... you haven't. That being said, ever seen a retard accomplish anything of significance? Nope, and neither has someone done anything of value when high.

[jacksonmichael]

I sell alcohol and cigarettes in the ghetto. Lol.

Reply to your reply: Oh, you have no idea. :P

Reply to your edit: That was hilarious. Hooray for offensive propaganda!

[TheBossMan]

Must be quite lucrative, seeing as how those are two of the bare necessities of a proper, balanced thug life.

[BushLitter]

Chill out man

"Nope, and neither has someone done anything of value when high. "

You'd be surprised how many great men in our history books were drug addicts.

You're prolly someone though who will drink alcohol (poison) but look down on someone for smoking a joint...and FYI I have seen a sad mentally handicapped person.

[TheBossMan]

I don't do anything that's mind altering. Do I drink? Yes, but not enough to be considered drunk, nor even tipsy. And all those "great men" accomplished what they did whilst sober, and more than likely would have done more than they did if they had not been addicts. You know it's true, so I don't see why you'd argue otherwise.

Not sure how old you are, but I can guarantee that you had some of your favorite musicians die as a result of drug addiction. Hell, Alice in Chains, Sublime, and Nirvana may still be going strong had it not been for the hard stuff.

[LewisDenby]

TheBossMan - To each their own, and all that. If someone enjoys consuming a particular thing, be it cigarettes, alcohol, coffee or cannabis, that's their own prerogative. Except for ludicrous arbitrary laws, of course, which aren't linked to the harm potential of these substances. (For example, the three legal drugs I just mentioned are demonstrably, empirically more dangerous than cannabis, which has killed no one, and only psychologically damages one in 5,000 heavy users.)

[Kurt Russell]

Burn the CD's of all your favourite musicians... They were on drugs.

I'm personally a regular weed smoker. Have been for about 10 years or so. Since on it I secured an MA and now work as a 3D artist like I set out to do. I've worked in 3 different continents just for the experience, have never missed a bill and always payed my tax.

You however BossMan are a detriment to society, a spot on the arsehole of the world - possibly an underachiever and above all else... a bore. You will follow the herd and never set out on your own path, as you were never told to do so.

Bubbles out. Peace.

[ECM0NEY]

I have seen a sad retard. He was on my bus route in highschool

[ECM0NEY]

@ thebossman

You do know that the double helix for DNA was discovered while on LSD right?

[Iroquois_Pliskin]

wow @thebossman

dude just chill the f out... hes probably just joking...

[Dovahkiin]

The Bawss Man!

[TheBossMan]

You guys do know that the only part of my posts directed at jacksonmichael was the joke about his job, right? And to address you others who claim to smoke a lot, did you take your exams whilst high in school? No. Do you work at peak level as a 3D artist whilst high? No. Has an engineer ever crunched numbers on anything to his best ability whilst high? No. Would you trust a financial adviser who makes sure he's stoned before he makes any important decisions regarding your financial future? No.

And as for the comment about not smoking being "following the herd," really? Cause according the disagrees I'm getting it seems the herd is somewhere else, and guess what? You're in it, not me. As for the boring aspect, I'd beg to differ. Seems like most stoners just sit around and do nothing whilst high, so I'd hardly classify that as being interesting (although you may think it is at the time, seeing as how you'd be temporarily retarded).

And EC, you do know that 99.99% of anything of importance ever was done whilst sober, right? To use your own example, even. Microbiology has progressed almost exclusively as a result of sober experimentation and observation.

[earbus]

Acid gamer here plus speed weed eccies not as often as my rock band youth days but its one hell of a laugh mull up.

[Fez]

Alcohol + Flower = Spew... last time I try that!

[Venoxn4g]

weed is the best..better than cigarettes (I think that when you smoke a lot of cigarretes [at least 10 - 15 a day] or alcohol [shit that makes people angry] ... and weed is calming people , they are happier, they do agressive thing less than on alcohol.. sure every drug is addictive (alcohol, coffee, weed and other stuff), but if you have will and you aren't using them constantly like many do it's not that bad.. people who say that weed is very bad thing, they are ignorant or didn't try it at all..

p.s. try on Weed.. Rez, Katamari damacy, conker, warioware: smooth moves, Bit trip series, child of eden and other great games..

[ECM0NEY]

High Katamari is win!

[A-Glorious-Dawn]

Alcohol turns people into lumbering monsters.
I destroys family's,
Kills people regardless of age gender,
makes people do despicable things.

Maryjane makes you laugh, sleep, become interested in the most tiny things. That interest stays with you. I know it's cliche to say it opens your mind but it really does..

I used to partake heavily but have since quit, however I retain a compassion and interest in life that I do not think I would have had I never experimented....

[pucpop]

I haven't gamed without weed since the early 90s. It makes me a better person. I do get forgetful from time to time though...

[ECM0NEY]

Drugs + Games = My every day life

[PhatsoJuggalo806]

Marijuana is great! i love the feeling it gives me :) it also makes my game funner, especially playing with a buddy.

[Saryk]

I love to smoke a joint when playing my games, too bad I got to take a piss test or I would. Makes fishing better and deer hunting bearable.Man I miss my weed!

[Quagmire]

An article about gaming and illegal drugs?

How professional..../s

[Hicken]

With respect to everyone above, I'm pretty sure drugs + games= drumes.

That aside, it's amazing how ridiculous some people (TheBossMan) can be. I've never smoked weed a day in my life, and yet I know it's safer than, say, alcohol.

On neither cigarettes nor marijuana can you smoke yourself to death in a year, while you can drink yourself to death in an hour. And you just might take someone else with you. There are plenty of other examples of how arbitrary things like legality and illegality are with regards to such things, but I'll just stop at that.

[NYC_Gamer]

i love to drink and play video games :)
