Former Call of Duty pro and 100Thieves CEO, NadeShot has joined forces with Excedrin to fight headaches faced by gamers during a prolonged gaming session.

Gamers are no stranger to annoying headaches but that issue has remained partially addressed for long enough to take it up as a serious problem at this point. According to them, 71 percent of gamers face headaches due to prolonged gaming but choose to play through it. The quarantine has played a crucial role in the stark increase in the number of hours gamers spend in front of the screen, thus hunt for a remedy is important at this point.

“I’ve experienced headaches while gaming for many years, but it’s not something that’s widely discussed within the gaming world,” Nadeshot said. “Instead, many of us brush it off or ‘tough it out’ to keep playing. The truth is, headaches can take you out of the game and have an impact on performance—and no one wants that. I like to win, and I hate losing more than I like winning. I’m excited to help spread the word with Excedrin so we can all stay focused, compete and—more importantly—crush it.”

Their remedy to headaches:

  • LEVEL UP YOUR MOTIVATION: Before you start playing, stay positive. Angry gamers are a headache. 
  • CLEAR EYES, MAX HP, CAN’T LOSE: Pause the game every now and then to look at an object 20 feet away from you. Focus on this object for 20 seconds. Then return to your gameplay.
  • TURN ON SOME 8-BIT CHIPTUNES: After a long gaming stretch, throw on some relaxing or ambient music outside of your gaming headset to recharge.
  • GET SKETCHY: Pause the game and relax your mind by sketching or doodling – whether it’s one of your favorite avatars, a turtle, or a pirate.
  • CONTROLLER HAND MASSAGE ACTION: Put down the game controller and give your hands a break with a hand massage. 
  • PAUSE FOR DEEP BREATHING: Close your eyes and take a deep breath through your nose, and exhale through your mouth. Repeat this seven to 10 times.
