I'm not even sure what to say about this. According to the makers of FpsBrain, a new energy pill, "Electronic sports is becoming more and more professional." That being said, they though it made sense to pay more attention to the hardcore gamer by forcing their sleep-deprived bodies to continue to work on nothing of nutritional value.
The FpsBrain capsules will contain L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, Betaine, vitamins C, E, B6, B2, B1 and B12; niacin amide, selenium, calcium pantothenate, folic acid, biotin, caffeine and soy lecithin.
Implications - With the rise in acceptance of nerds in mainstream culture, geeky hobbies and extracurricular pursuits such as playing video games are becoming more popular. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games, or MMORPGs, force gamers to play for hours on end; this has caused a rise in gamer-specific supplements to help them stay awake.
