German outfit Tomarni has developed a new drug designed to make you better at gaming.

FpsBrain was created with help from Free University Berlin. The capsules are said to accelerate neural processes, heighten perception and improve reactions.

For EUR 19.90 you get 60 capsules. And a quick glance at the ingredients (the recipe has been approved by German law) reveals it contains amino acids, vitamins and other harmless-sounding things. Could be naughty. We're no chemist.

Essentially FpsBrain is a coffee, guarana or Berocca replacement you can pop in your daily routine to wake up a bit and pay more attention.

Tomarni staff take it four times a week so it must be safe, and they used to make computers for professional gamers. Explains choosing gamers over an office, health or university audience.

"The alertness and mental clarity I get from FpsBrain helps me to maximize my gaming performance with every move!" declared user Craig W. from Toronto.

And, if you don't like it, you can always claim your 110 per cent money back guarantee.

Shuffle nervously to the FpsBrain website to find out more.

lol Bean0 - How on Earth did you find this?

Who would actually be brave enough to try it..... afterall, howmany hamsters and things do you think they tested this stuff on, only to see an improvement in their Wii performance ...

I smell some kind of drug-use within CR to enhance their driving performance ...
Well i think CR should be penalized, how about 100k points deduction on ctra and a 2 year suspension


Just joking guys...scary stuff these things to enhance your brain abilities...would never try them without a doctor...because i still want to play "games" with my girlfriend...

Ooooold.

You can buy Caffeine mints that do the same thing (had some before, not bad actually)

Anyone who has done their GSCEs or equivalent should have heard of ProPlus, it's new in the aspect that they are being marketed specifically to improve your gaming ability.

I found it in the gaming section of another forum btw.

That'll be why I couldn't keep up in the LX4 last night then.

Oh great so now we need dope testing for LFS leagues!

LOL... F1 has been promoting "dope" since logos started adorning the cars! Alcohol, fags, and now taurine...

Fpsbrain doesn't look like anything more than a rebranding for caffeine and a few minerals and vitamins.

The secret to my enhanced performance was to stop taking drugs.
Then i stopped drinking booze.
I seem to have got faster still since giving up the ciggys again.

I'm entirely powered by a good old cup of tea now

There's you answer kids.....Tea FTW!

Yeah, they don't really do anything for me.

It seems like this stuff is a rebranding of caffiene pills, it's more the placebo effect than anything else.

You're lucky you didnt take them, or else you would have turned out like unnamed

Can't wait for an article about a kid who popped 10 of these a day to get more headshots in CS and ends up hospitalized.

lol. What a psycho he was

Seems like just a "Red Bull-Pill", you can see way more "shit" on a single Saturday night.

The shocking thing is the audience intended, and surely the mainstream media will scream about it if they can, but people take tons of "legal drugs" everyday, just drop by your local pharmacy and take a look.

This doesn't mean I support it (nor I don't), it's just a reflexion about social hipocrisy about drugs.

Are you sure you warent been offerd Extacy Bean0 online drug dealing FTW

What the hell's wrong with espresso I ask you? Damn punk kids these days, with their confounded guarana and ginseng and taurine and goji berries and now performance-enhancers for frickin gaming (ffs) and just get off my damn lawn!! When I was a lad, "performance enhancement" was being threatened with a caning :geezer:

Is Viagra a performance-enhancing drug? Or am I thinking of the wrong kind of performance?

There is a great Got Milk commercial over here that jokes about these performance enhancing drugs

That's what I thought this thread would be about. Too used to spam in my inbox, I think.

Don't mean to sound like a boring old grump but I doubt it's as much fun as all the performance decreasing drugs I used to play with.

I prefer eating vegetables and drinking coffee
But they do sell bottled water also?

I have a perfect drug for gaming: Versatile nutrition and lots of drinkable substances (Mainly water, or some juice) so you don't have to worry about dehydration.

Early years, I had friends who played 12+ hours straight without eating (other than candy bars) or drinking (other than Coca-Cola(tm)).

Maybe this post was little off-topic, but thats my opinion of Performance Enhancing Drugs: Carrots, potatoes and spinachs.
