The Daily Grind: Do you hang on to boosters?
The other day I had a terrible realization: I'm a complete and utter packrat in MMOs. Easily half of my bag space in Lord of the Rings Online is constantly filled with stuff that I deem absolutely essential. But that's not really true. I have an unhealthy supply of boosters, buffs, pills, and sports energy drinks in there for when I really, really need them. I never know when I might need their artificial aid in overcoming a tough moment, after all. Unfortunately, even when I do face tough situations, I keep thinking that there will probably be tougher in the future and that I still should not use my boosters. So they continue to accumulate and my bags pay the price for my folly. Are you the same? Do you hang on to boosters too long instead of just, y'know, using them? Do they make you feel more secure, just knowing that they are there? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!
WoW Moviewatch: Powerthirst
Hey! Do you want to feel so energetic? Try Powerthirst! Energy drinks for people who need gratuitous amounts of energy!You're gonna be uncomfortably energetic!So the video above, by Thesoultorn, leaves a bit to be desired in the animation department, but in reality it's just a mock advertisement for a World of Warcraft in-game energy drink, Powerthirst. The video gets its jobs done quite well, because I now want to go and grab some Powerthirst.The video reminds me of the (alcoholic) energy drinks high I had during my powerleveling trip I took when Wrath released. I made plans with The Girlfriend for some rather extended and uninterrupted playtime, and I managed to get to 80 in a few days. Of course to accompany me on my journey I had two cases of Red Bull, a one-seven-five of Grey Goose, and an ample supply of tumblers.I want more Gnomergy!Edit: The video is a parody of the original Powerthirst by Picnicface.
Running out of juice? Pop a Mana Energy Potion
Sometimes, your heart is all for a late night gaming session, but your body is just saying no. Well what are you going to do, just give in to your body's desperate pleas for rest? Nuh-uh! Reach into your RL inventory and pull out a Mana Energy Potion. According to the drink's website, this sexy little bottle will provide you with 160 mana, whereas a regular human usually only has 100. That will surely give you the edge you need push into the wee hours of the morning.The site advises that one tiny bottle has caffeine equivalent to two 8-ounce Red Bulls, and will provide "5-8 hours of smooth, jitter-free energy". Know what else is cool? A look at the Supplement Facts page for the energy shot shows that each serve (40ml bottle) contains 6667% of your daily required Vitamin B12, or over 2 months worth. You can currently order packs of Mana Energy Potions from the website, and a small number of retailers will be stocking them soon too. And one last thing -- a possible indicator of how awesome your Mana replenishment process will be is the fact that the contact page lists a dedicated death threats email address.
