Ugh, too much marketing aimed at gamers. Makes me want to cut my wrists with my game razor.

Ok, this fucking clock deal is getting out of hand.

First it was just a normal countdown clock, than we got a countdown clock to a countdown clock.

Now we have a countdown clock for a fucking soda?

Ugh. Gamefuel is such crap. It tastes like a BAD attempt at Hawaiian Punch soda. It's almost okay if you freeze it though. Tastes kind of like an original 7-11 slurpee.

Now, Mountain Dew LiveWire is something they SHOULD damn well sell year round. It's so damned good. But nooo~ Limited time. And what's worse, is I can't even get cans of it in this locale like my friends farther west can! I have to pay $1.19 a piece of 20oz bottles. Fuckers! :<

Let me guess, WOW is going to get away with having MD sponsored without any flak from gamers.

But Halo 3 deserved it in 2007.

@Dead Giveaway: Tell ya what, dude. If there had been a special "Elite" (or Grunt, that would be cool too) version of the flavor, I would not have mocked them incessantly for it.

Yes I would have. I am a liar and a bad person. Oh well.

Oh my God. The only soda WORTH a countdown clock. I just hope the "horde" version tastes as good as the original Game Fuel. Anyone else use it to get through the rest of 2007's monster gaming line-up too?

@RiotControl: FOR THE ALLIANCE!

By the way, you guys... just saying here... we should get a new rallying cry. We totally seem like we're just ripping off the Horde. I am a big fan of "FUCK THE HORDE" as our cry, but it evokes the image of an Alliance that is perhaps too narrowly focused. Hmmmm....

@Akua: You might want to start off switching to soda's like sprite or orange soda. No caramel coloring (which is what really hurts your teeth) and no caffeine. That's what I did a year ago and I drink mostly water. It's a lot better for me and I don't have all those empty calories, well except for all the beer.

@notquitedeadyet: It was some good shit, let me tell you, son. I am a Dew addict myself, but I really enjoy their takes on other sodas. Livewire (orange soda) was good, Pitch Black (grape soda) was awesome, Halo 3 Game Fuel (Grunt blood) was pretty interesting... and the newest one, the blue one, don't remember the name... the one that won their contest? Very nice. Blue raspberry.

It's honestly gotten to the point where I am actually excited for WoW Gamefuel. I'm a WoW player, so being able to extend the Alliance vs. Horde rivalry into the real world makes me giddy (FUCK THE HORDE!), and I know it will taste good. But honestly, is it not depressing to be excited for a new flavor of soda? I get worried sometimes.

Because playing WoW is so tiring, people need "fuel" to keep them going...
Seriously though, I've heard nothing but good things about the flavour of this, so I'm probablly going to try and pick some up. Are these availible in Canada?

Oh Blizzard must you sell your game to every John of a product that comes along like a two dollar whore? At least some of the other product where at least cool (the overpriced gaming mouse, the T-shirts even the action figures.) The only people who are going to run out and buy this swill are the annoying kids and tards I have to block in trade and general chat. But then again I have heard mountain dew referred to as the "Nectar of the Tards" so bravo Blizz Bravo!

@Befitzero: People who enjoy various types of pop may also purchase it. If it's just a relabeled Livewire or Voltage I may end up having a bottle or two by the time it's run its course.

The capitalist in me wants to buy every different bottle of these produced, store them in a box in my room for YEARS, and sell them at an exorbitantly high price in a few decades. Actually, I think I'll do it. Yay, money.

"Does in-game allegiance carry over to the soft drink aisle, or can a player rocking a Gnome Warrior online partake of a drink with an Orc Shaman plastered across the label?"

Oh yes it does! For The Alliance! I will not have a filthy Orc on my bottle! (Yes, I'm serious) lol
