First of all I just want to say that I will never do that again! Braid is a trippy game even without psychedelic drugs. The walls in my living room were all breathing and spiders were moving around them like it was no big deal. The posters on my walls swirling around mixing with the white paint looked so surreal. This was a miserable experience. I was sweating so heavily, I needed something to take my mind off of this, I needed Braid.

When you're on mushrooms the whole world turns into a cartoon and nothing is real anymore. There were moments where I thought I was going to die. There were moments where I was a part of the things I was touching. There were moments when I didn't feel like myself at all, but I was still a gamer. I peaked over at my xbox 360 as it seemed to be calling for me to play it. As the couch drifted over my floor like it was floating on water I attempted to make my way to the xbox. There was too much going on in my mind. The power button on my TV felt like rubber and there was no proof that it was actually there. I realized I was still on the couch, I hadn't even moved yet. I melted my way onto the floor and reached my arm out for miles. My hand met a black controller and my fingers met the buttons on it that were eventually controlling my second personality, Tim. The experience felt so personal because in real life my name is Tim. I slowly walked through the strange colorful world turning time backwards and re living my misery.

When I saw yellow it jumped out at me. When I saw green it bled into the room. When I saw red it made it's way to me. I could touch the colors but never taste them. This was so messed up. I remember drifting around the game without a care in the world. I somehow managed to make it through the first painting after 25 minutes. I was making progress but progress wasn't even the point of playing. This game is a beautiful sight that was never meant to be seen in this way. I felt like a hacker. I felt like I had unlocked things in the game that nobody has even touched, but really I was simply opening doors.

The room was still spinning. I had been awake for 7 hours. Up all night on this horrible binge. I don't recommend ever trying to play Braid on shrooms.
