]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> This stuff is so horrible. It tastes like cough medicine. I can't believe they released it to the public. I live off of mountain dew, code red is good not as good as the original, and I get an AMP when I've been good. But everything since that purple stuff and now this. Eeek Mountain Dew needs to fire it's testing staff. Why they didn't just badge a mountain dew container and give away stuff I will never know.

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I _love_ Livewire... I recently started getting 2 liters of Game Fuel too because all I could get were 20 oz bottles of Livewire (Which cost 30c more than a 2 liter)

Know that Game Fuel is horrible at any temp higher than /damn/-cold. And even at damn-cold, it still tastes like a failed attempt to make a Hawaiian Punch soda... But if you FREEZE it, it's pretty good. I'm just in it for the ridiculously high caffeine levels anyway. ~150mg per 20oz. :P

Kyoji

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I actually liked it too.

Killtacular

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> That Livewire Slurpee was incredibly good. My local 7/11 has replaced it with regular Mountain Dew, which was gone for a while, and Game Fuel which is definitely inferior. The best Slurpee flavors of the past year or so have been:
1. StawberrWii Banana
2. Livewire
3. Superman Ice
4. Purple vanilla
5. Some flavor that was so good that I wouldn't shut up about it, that I whined to my wife when it was gone, and now I can't remember the name of.

Game fuel, while not awful, is just not that good. (I seem to know a lot about Slurpees, but I honestly only have one or two a month.)






kingofallcosmos

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I think it's delicious. I just wish it would stay around forever. I haven't been this thrilled with a mountain dew product since the baja blast at taco bell.

So when are they taking it from shelves? That's my question.

Aragashi

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Game fuel is the closest thing to Livewire that there will ever be again, and I'm OK with that.

It is on.

Jazhuis

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I like Game Fuel. My friends and I went through two 12 packs and six 2-liters while camping a few weeks ago. It's no code red, but it comes close. I wouldn't mind if they kept it around for a while after the halo 3 hype dies down.

brieeyeball

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> How the fuck you guys can bitch about free soda at an event and pretend to have "taste" while debating the quality of a mass market product.......I really won't be able to understand.

Gamer Fuel actually tastes good in my own opinion though. I'm going to classify it as a radical orange soda that still can't compare to Stewart's Orange Cream Soda.

Gagamus

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> i like it. granted, i haven't had that much (maybe two bottles when it came out). i still like code red the most out of the spin-offs. i dislike livewire. that midnight flavor was kinda good. baja blast is tasty as well, but i'm thinking only every once in a while.

MobileMilitia

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I actually like the "Game Fuel." I think it's better than Livewire or Pepsi Spew (i.e., Pepsi Blue). But that's just me. And I always stock up on Pitch Black whenever it pops up on the shelves. Though, I have severely limited my soda intake to about one glass per week.

Rintor

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> @WhoreofSpamylon: Yeah surge was great but that Valut drink that the COKE company makes tastes just like surge.

I drink a lot of Arizona Green Tea with honey. Does that count?

PapaBear434

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Funny, I liked the Game Fuel, despite the lame ass name of the drink. For extra flavor, I have 0 concern for the Halo series, so the marketing $$$ were lost on us.

My Cousin loved the stuff too, we named it G-Sauce. It makes a great mixer too, for those in the 21+ crew, or illegals hiding booze in the closet.

Pic0o

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> All this talk of energy drinks.. am I the only one who would take an Arizona Iced Tea or a SoBe Energy Citrus over anything mentioned in here?

.endejas.

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I thought it tasted like pixi sticks stirred into an especially fruity Mountain Dew. Honestly there's a level of sucrose that I just balk at, and this beverage crosses the line.

In my opinion bawls is still the premiere gaming "energy drink", since it has a much lighter, less-sugary flavor and isn't quite so hyper-caffeinated as many others are.

Sugoi

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> At my local GameStop, the manager of the Chipotle across the street and one of his employees came over and handed out free burritos (of different types of meat), people were handing out free sodas, and the Buffalo Wild Wings had specials for people with preorder receipts. Marketing done right by all of the people involved.

danbellinger1

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Add me into the camp of people who like it. Though I've almost completely given up soda, so it tastes really, really sweet to me. One of my friends described it as "drinking a box of Nerds (candy)".

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I tried it out of curiousity. Its not... gut retching horrible, an you have to drink half the bottle before your use to it. But I doubt I'll buy anymore.

WTF?! The HALO 2 event was far cooler. Back then Master Chief stuck around for awhile, there were bands and free Mt. Dew. What a total letdown.

Nate128

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I like it. Tastes like liquified gummy bears to me.

Fetusfryer

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Reminds me of that "She's looking better every beer"...

pupaboy

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Mountain Dew Gamer Fuel = Wild Cherry Life Savers. They taste identical.

Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to you. Personally, I don't think it's all that bad. Pepsi Blue was much, much worse.

Lidane

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> screw pepsi products is all i can say.....its all about the coke man!!! Thats right!! bring out the Mello Yello's and Fanta's!!

But in all seriousness, the game fuel is too sweet for my tastebuds....They should just did the commercial as "Mountain Dew Halo 3 Game Fuel: Recording your future Diabetes"

carlogz

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Dang, forgot about Pitch Black, it ranks very closely behind LiveWire. Also, all of these drinks must be cold, warm or room-temperature and the crab juice wins.

klew

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I bought a can of the stuff and thought it tasted like a melted cherry Slurpee that was rechilled, canned, and marked Game Fuel.

As much as I cringe at the idea of drinking leftover Slurpee, I thought the drink was okay. If I ever get my Xbox back from service, I plan to celebrate with it... not really.

I wonder if there's a difference in flavor between the canned version and the other forms.

@Nexus6: One word. Gross.

zer0zen

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> i remember looking at the label and it had around 78 grams of sugar in a bottle. That's a hella lot of sugar.

pcgecko85

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> @Havok154:
If Game Fuel tasted like Red Bull, I'd spit it out after one drop touched my tongue.

Couldn't stand the taste of Red Bull. Only can I ever bought, I threw away after one taste.

Game Fuel? I've had several bottles of it since it came out.

BPMο

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> @Havok154: really? cause it sure as hell doesn't to me. game fuel is actually drinkable cold, red bull tastes like piss and vinegar.

Actually, obscure whines and whimsy little negative remarks about everything and anything is all we do here, fuck halo.

Thrillhaus

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> It tastes like red bull, which tastes like crap.

Darkest Daze

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I love the game fuel flavor. Also, just about everyone I know loves the stuff too and buy about 4 twelve packs each week, not too mention chugging them every day. Maybe it's because I live in the D/FW area in Texas. Oh well, time to start inhaling my 2 Liter Game Fuel.

Koji Otaku

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Hmph. I just ran downstairs to the dorm vending machine in the lobby, but no mountain dew of any kind. I had to settle for coke and some potato chips.

SuperMaxZero

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Nobody like the game fuel flavor? I thought it was damn good. Tasty stuff.

omnirage

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Game Fuel isn't that bad, I like it far better than normal Mountain Dew, but that's not really saying much since I can't stand normal Mountain Dew.

Cabal17

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I liked Game fuel too, even with all of the people around me hating it.

MaddGIJoe

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> What he hell is up with Kotaku? It's no surprise you guys aren't fans of the series. Shit just come out and say it. WE HATE HALO 3. Last 3 days have been nothing but obscure whines and whimsy little negative remarks about everything and anything Halo. Geeze.

littletad

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I'll take the crab juice.

Thrillhaus

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I think it's good stuff. Too bad it's only for a limited time.

But of course, the "cool" thing to do on the 'net is say something negative. So whatever.

@ Klew: I like your rankings, but I would go like this:

LiveWire Slurpee (F'ing YUM) > LiveWire > Regular > Game Fuel > Baja Blast > Code Red

But still, all of them are freaking good.

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Speaking of Pepsi Blue, there's a test flavor of Mountain Dew which could be called "Clash" that is supposed to taste like Pepsi Blue.

Not sure if or when it'll appear.

Starcade

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I found Game Fuel to be one of the better Mountain Dew variants. Never cared for Code Red, and Livewire was just okay. Pitch Black and MDX were plain awful. Game Fuel actually has decent flavor, which like Baja Blast or Amp, is a nice change from Mountain Dew.

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> @thoruen:

Not just that. The material he does come up with on his own is either A) the same stuff he's been doing since he was in college, or B) just normal stuff said with a weird voice.

Here is a Cook bit, distilled into it's purist formula:

"I was up the other day, and I looked in the mirror. Can you believe that!? I know, I have one! So anyway, I was getting up, and I looked in the FREAKING MIRROR and see that my hair is kind of long. I mean, it was down to my EARS!

So I get dressed, and go to the barber shop. THE BARBER SHOP, MAN! I mean, where else am I going to go, amIright!? HUH! WHOA!"

*Falls down writhing on the floor for some reason

"I mean, why do they have those poles there!? Do they want us to lick them!? Like THIS!?"

*Starts licking the microphone stand

"HUH!? Like this, right!?"

thoruen

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> @BPMΩ: If you can find some (doubt it now), try mixing half Pepsi Blue with half Coke in a glass.

It turns dark green - very creepy.

I've termed the drink "Evil Witch Green"
*Images of old witch stirring pot come to mind*

isoo

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I tried this in Slurpee form and I wasn't impressed. It wasn't awful like Pepsi Summer Mix, but it wasn't very good either. I really should stop drinking alternate specialty flavors since I hate almost all of them.

kingofallcosmos

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> While we're on the topic of sodas, I actually have a question. Last time I was at Disney World, I had a sample (well, more like 60 samples) of a soda called Smart Watermelon. Apparently it's Chinese. Anybody happen to know any place in the States, even online, where it might be available to buy? I've been hankering for it for months now.

黒天使

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I don't understand why the bad reaction to Gamer Fuel. Sure, it's no Dr. Pepper, but it's not feckin' horse piss. Shame on everyone who just dislikes it because MC is prominently featured (which I'm sure is quite a few people).

AvidAbey

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I work in the event marketing biz, so I like the idea of having tshirt premiums and soda sampling at the Halo 3 launch... nice tie-in. The hand massage thing is creative.... probably brain-stormed something much cooler for everybody but budgetary constraints limited them to that.

It actually looks like the had a limited budget for a couple of reasons, namely being their van looks like crap. Like someone rented a cargo from Budget and tied an extra logoed banner to it once they parked.

Just sayin' we would have done things differently... :)

PS - I agree, Game Fuel tastes like ass warmed-over. I had it in Slurpee form from 7-11.

Dick.Blake

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> @PapaBear434: Man, I wish they'd re-release the Pepsi Blue. :(

Now that I'm no longer in the U.S. - I can't even get to try the weird stuff Mountain Dew is experimenting with.

isoo

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I got a bottle of that a while after it came out just to try it out, and yeah, it's pretty gross. I'll take Code Red any day.

Stormrider

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> I actually really like it!

Janaff

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Gamer Fuel reminds me of highly caffeinated, liquefied red gummi bears. It's not nearly as bad as it should be, but it's also not nearly as good as it COULD be, meaning it'll never persevere like Code Red has managed to.

Archaotic

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Tastes like Nerds candy. Awful. Blechh.

whatever.

corpseoftheyear

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Is it really that bad, is it more of a backlash to the hype? If you like Mountain Dew's non-core flavors, this is really no different. So I suspect people expect the game to somehow taste worse because of what it's branded as, rather than its actual flavor.

Lord_The_Night_Knight

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> You know, I got flamed in another thread for lamenting the advertising juggernaut that has been Halo 3. But I have to tell you, I've tried the "game fuel" and actually found it to be quite tasty. I don't drink soda often (you can probably count on one hand the amount I've had since spring) but my friend bought some of this for me as a joke and I have to tell you, I liked it.

Don't know what is so special about it that makes it "game fuel (do they add extra caffeine or something?) but I actually hope they keep it around for a while. I actually liked that Pepsi Blue they had for a while, and it disappeared fairly quickly, so I can't imagine this will last long either.

PapaBear434

]]> <![CDATA[Brought To You By Orange Sick]]> Just what my advertising group was talking about today. Everybody out at a major event to influence people to partake in product.
