Gaming and Cannabis

I have been a gamer my whole life. I have been a toker for more than 5 years.
I work in the gaming industry as a game tester and absolutely love it. I am currently on a FPS game for the Xbox 360. Now the reason I am saying this is because I generally play PC games such as Quake Live. Now I have realized I am a MUCH better gamer while im stoned or even just am coming down or going up to a high. If I dont smoke for a few weeks(a month or more) then my skills in the game decrease. I can't seem to figure this one out. I am going to the MLG tournament for Halo Reach in the coming months and as apart of my training i smoke a bowl, set my sensitivity super high then i train. If i were to do the exactly the same thing but not smoke a bowl i generally do worse. In a match where im not high or have the THC in my system I generally place near the bottom of the match where as if im high i place in the top 3.
Does anyone else notice this? I've read how cannabis decreases reaction time and such but really? if that were the case id be doing worse high and better not?
Im just curious to know how many people play games and smoke pot:)

You should have included PS2's in you're poll, I love gaming while I'm baked, the first time I really did it I completed The Warriors on the hardest level in a day playing PS2, then threw in Black and did the same thing.
Now I'm really into the Red Dead games and all the DLC, just played it again with my bong next to my and nailed it in less than a day, love it

Golden eye was the shit, I love that game. Yea I had the bulky one, then I got the slim one, and the silver one ,and the mini one I was using my silver edition one up until I got my PS3, the controller that came with it has lost all its silver finish from where I hold it

I'm pretty sure I play worse when I'm baked, but I think that's because I'm almost always getting baked after I haven't smoked for at least a couple weeks, and then I end up REALLY fucking high trying to play competitively
The most I've noticed my skill improve from being under the influence was when I got really fucking high and took some promethazine.. I was playing Geometry Wars on the Xbox 360..
I went through just about a million points in that hectic colorful madness.. The shit I was doing without even putting thought into it was blowing my own mind.. I was sitting there with a friend freaking out while I was doing it.. I usually score around 150,000-200,000 points sober..

There are some games which work with me when I'm high and just become completely awesome, and then there are some games which I just can't play high, because I fucking suck at them.
It seems the simpler the concept, the easier it is to play. (example: I fucking love playing Castle Crashers super stoned, I can't stand playing the Fallout series baked.)
-------------------- Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

I absolutly love geometry wars!! When I'm not baked I can usually get 300,000 to 600,000 but when baked I can get to like 1mill to 2.5mill! It just blows my mind. Like I absolutly love mass effect high, the music, the feeling you get! Dead space 1 &2 when it comes out! I love the halo series so far reach is my favorite, love the gameplay and mp! Also gears of war 1,2 and three when it comes out! The beta should come out next month hopefully!
Wow rambling and didn't even know it!

I fail at any other system haha except for tekken on ps3 or xbox. Just rambling. meowww.

Cannabis buzz helps me concentrate and play much longer without breaks. I prefer RPG and strategy games (Starcraft, Civilization), not FPS.
-------------------- I am not a cannabis grower. I find the cannabis growers to be the most open to experimenting and sharing out of all of the different botany groups I enjoy. I frequently use the suggestions that I find to apply to own organic gardening and food production.

I find it much easier to game when I'm high. It brings me into the game more and gives me deeper thinking, which allows me to come up with better strategies.
Theres a balance to be had though. I can game better when I'm high but not when I'm blasted out of my mind.
My tag is CriticalKill420 on 360 & ps3 if anyone ever wants to link up or something

I've been meaning to get that game, everybody always tells me how good it is. You can't go wrong with a game of the year winner either
