Game Enhancers

[CSN NewsBot]

With the recent debate about game enhancing supplements, such as MindFX, Thorin from Gamers.nu caught up with 20 prominent members in the Counter-Strike community and asked what they drank before matches. It seems that the consensus was that drinks don't enhance your game at all. Here are a couple blurbs I found to be the most interesting.

3D.kane: I drink redbull usually 15-30 minutes before I start playing for the day and water for most of the day otherwise. Usually just one a day, during tournaments when I'm playing all day long I'll drink one about every 4-6 hours.



[W.E.W]method: I really don't take any drink, I used to drink redbull but it makes me way too shakey. But I really like, water it's sorta like the non carbonated hydro drink for me :) or gatorade like pro sports players drink.

As with most Gamers.nu features, you have to be a registered member, but don't worry, because it's completely free. If you're interested, click here for more.

Water, the drink of choice.



Okay, I have to say it. It's really sad when you start asking CS players what they drink. What's next, product endorsements by ksharp? I can just see it now...



"Hi, it's me ksharp, letting all the l337 gamers know that I wear Hanes to every LAN event I go to."



"Why yes, everyone on Team 3D coats their hands with Right Guard Anti-Perspirant(tm) before playing, to make sure we never have our fingers slipping off our mice."



Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but it seems like that.

redbull is cool

once it kept me up for a 3 day long lan

i heard bawls in teh us is good also

[alfuh]

i shotgun 5 beers before matches ... i haven't done too well since starting that method. maybe i'll switch to shotgunning water(somehow), gotta shotgun something right?

[JdeFalconr]

heh that's funny if method indeed does drink gatorade before matches. If you haven't just worked out or sweated alot gatorade only will make you tired by flooding your body with lots of excess electrolytes and sugar. oops.

[x7-Superman!]

Yeah, this news item is a little ridiculous. It's one thing asking them what their favorite tactics are or asking them what their opinion is of the VAC and the future of online cheating, but asking them what kind of beverage they drink to "get fired up" is stupid. It doesn't exactly take much energy or vigor to sit in a chair with headphones on and move a mouse.

[rizzuh]

It would have been more interesting of the answers varied more (usually they were "NO WHAT A DUMB QUESTION), but you can't fault them for a slew of similar responses. Don't know if I would have published it though.

[orphy]

Haha, that's too funny. I drink coke whenever I have it, and that's what I'm usually drinking while playing anything.

[exwhyze]

I usually drink water before matches but then i have to take a piss real bad... lol maybe i should drink less water
