Steroids and StarCraftII

[TheProgramer]

No not those kinds of steroids.

Short Version:

I had to go the hospital where they gave me, through IV, prednisone (a steroid). I was then on a prescription of it for a long time. One of the side effects of this nasty little bugger is it makes your mind race.

I played a lot of SCII during that time, and I found that my game was improved. I felt like I could concentrate on more things than I usually could. In short I felt that I could multi-task better. Having now been off the drug for a while I no-longer feel capable of that level of multi-tasking.

So I submit that this type of steroid could be useful to pro gamers to improve their game.

Long Version:

So I have an extreme allergy to Poison Ivy. I get it easily, and I get it bad, and if it gets in my throat it becomes life-threatening. So last time I got it (a few months ago), it had caught a hold of my face and was spreading like wild-fire. I went to the emergency room and to combat the poison ivy they gave me through IV, among many drugs, steroids (prednisone); and then given a prescription to continue for 28 days.

One of the side effects of this nasty little bugger is it makes your mind race. I could not sleep for more than a few hours due to extreme exhaustion because this drug would not let me stop thinking. It had my mind racing so much I couldn’t go to sleep.

I being sick played StarCraftII a lot. I found that my game was improved. I felt like I could concentrate on more things than I usually could. I felt I could multi-task better. I say felt because I was under the influence of a drug and, as we all know with alcohol, a drug can make you think your good at something you’re not good at ^_^.
