Razer Venom Professional Gaming Enhancement Solution | Razer | For Gamers. By Gamers

Ever felt like you want to play on for hours but you can’t? “Just one more mission! One more round!” you say. Now you can go all night long (and longer) with the Razer Venom. Scientifically proven to boost your senses and take down any signs of fatigue, you will now be able to clock up to over 100 hours of gaming time in one sitting.

 

Now you don’t have to worry about things like “sleep” and “food”. With Razer Venom in your veins, our serum additives like oxymialterxin and doctixilin keep your body nourished to keep you as fit as a fiddle – the food of champions.

 

Razer Venom comes in an intravenous solution bag for personal consumption or a nebulizer which diffuses the Venom solution into a green mist to be inhaled – perfect for a week long LAN party with your clan mates.

 

Complete game achievements, farm for gold, slay some orcs, pillage villages. Nothing can stand in your way now that you’re on a 120 hour marathon of awesomeness. This is the future. This is Razer Venom.

Obviously an April Fool's Joke. ;)

An IV stimulant for gamers?

 

*shudders*

 

No way this takes off...

"Hey mom, I'm gonna shoot up some venom for my videogaming session!"

"Okay, honey! Careful with the needles!"

people willing to inject themselves to get a rush have much more attractive, albeit less legal, options...

The link is quite creepy. I wonder though, do these performance enhancers really work, and if they do, will there be a time when these will be banned for non-entertainment use?

Imagine having to take a blood test before a prelim... :crazy:

Actually, I have read a few articles about "neuro-enhancements" that are becoming popular. The articles mentioned a growing population of professors using them, particularly in the fields of psychology and the biological sciences. Not to say that every high-performing professor is going to start getting wired, but some of the people they were citing were psych profs at Cal Tech and CMU and a few bio profs at the Ivies. Maybe economists are behind the trend line on this one ;).
