Now, I know what your thinking: "This belongs in the old-school gaming forums!!! You know that old SEGA Genesis fighter game, that's what he's talking about"... No that was Ballz, and a great game...

Anyway, I'm talking about the energy drink....Well I assume most of you know that because it's heavily involved in gamer culture... However it was never sold in my area until about last week. This one convenience store (unfortunately not the one I work at) started selling it!!

I love the stuff already...I don't think I'll ever drink a Red Bull again. The glass bottle not only looks cool, but it has a better taste when it's ice cold (same reason I love Coke in the glass bottle in the summer). It tastes really good when it's cold, but I let a bottle sit out the other day and then it tasted really syrup-y and crappy...

Although it has less caffeine than expresso or caffeine pills it seems to have a huge kick (apparently it's 64mg of caffeine, while a caffeine pill is 200mg).

I have a lot of schoolwork to do today so I picked a few bottles up, but now I think I'm so awake that I can't focus...LOL.

What do you think of it?

I'm alittle nervous about bringing it to our next Rock Band party because my cousin's parents will probably think it's beer...LOL

Have never heard of it. And I'm not a fan of energy drinks, so even if I do see it, I won't try it.

I have never heard of that drink. It seems that the name could create uncomfortable situations like if you say "Hey, can you pass me your Bawls".

You think so? I think the regular and sugar free are insanely horrible...Assault is okay, but it never gave as much kick as a small can or Red Bull... Besides Red Bull the only thing I liked was No Fear until they took the creatine out... Oh and Rock Star / Rock Star Punched they're good.... Red Bull makes the only good sugar free drink...

I don't care...It feels so good, I wouldn't want to get through the day without being hyped up on caffeine if I could....I want caffeinated air to breathe.

i guess it's just opinion. i personally can't stand red bull. monster has a smooth taste and it gives me a good kick. btw, have you ever tried rip it? its cheap, a dollar for a can, but it's horrible.

Drink them in moderation, don't drink them every day. Energy drinks can taste good and give you a good energy burst but they aren't good for you if you have them reguarly.

LOL, no.... I tried the stuff my store sells (Liquid-Z, made by Sheetz which is where I work [freaking awesome place in the PA / VA area]). It's cheap, tastes like crap, and doesn't work.

If I wanted to be cheap, I'd buy caffeine pills or Stackers.... I mean it's like $4 for 20 caffeine pills, so instead of buying 20 Red Bulls you can get those, or like $15 for 30 Stackers or something...But I like the feeling of actually drinking a drink, and I think the added stuff works better than pills.

Better than cigarettes....LOL.... Well I use jolt mints during the school week (but sometimes have an energy drink before an exam for a mental boost, whether real or imagined).

No you are talking about the correct drink, it's just that guarana contains caffeine...

It tastes good, but usually doesn't give me any energy.
