From my years of top-level competitive FPS gaming I eventually determined the same thing. A high level of play is greatly facilitated by a high heart rate and an adrenaline rush. The best gamers, by far, are the ones who combine years of practice with amphetamines. It works for the airforce and it works for gaming. I decided that the constant self-induced adrenaline rushes were bad for my health and so I stopped playing those kinds of games.
