Even more obsessive Game Fuel purchase disorder

by Dustin Burg { Sep 3rd 2007 at 3:00PM }

Previously, we told you about a group of guys over at the Microsoft is Awesome blog who stockpiled an amazing stash of 444 cans of Mountain Dew Game Fuel. We then challenged you, fellow X3F'ers, to beat their 444 can survival hoard and we're proud to say that we have a new champion. Sent in to us by NeuralLink is the photographic proof you see above showcasing him and his three friends' new record setting Game Fuel stash. As you can see, they're rockin' a twelve pack Game Fuel pyramid consisting of 55 twelve packs which translates to 660 cans of sweet liquid sugar. Congrats NeuralLink and to your crew, that 660 can stockpile should last you through your 24 hour Halo 3 all-nighter. Drink up.

wood paneling, shag carpet, lay-z-boy...looks like a photo from 1972.

AmgKmpsR @ Sep 3rd 2007 3:30PM

Halo players are a bunch of fuckin sheep.

jim @ Sep 3rd 2007 4:14PM

i wonder if this is a giant plan for people to buy gamefuel

erivera3 @ Sep 3rd 2007 4:12PM

Just Halo fans being Halo fans, I don't see why all you idiots come in here talking this degrading shit like you are all better than these guys. People have different hobbies, and a LOT of people like halo a lot, so give them a break.

Justin @ Sep 3rd 2007 4:14PM

As much as I love halo, even this to me is a little overboard. Sure a couple packs is fine.. but 55?! Even me in my right mind wouldn't buy 55. Maybe 54 or 53.. but 55?!

slyecho @ Sep 3rd 2007 4:28PM

They bought it all because they were challenged to do so. And it's not even all his, a part of it belongs to his friends.

XFactoR8 @ Sep 3rd 2007 4:39PM

I sense a caffeine overdose coming. Will they live to "Finish the Fight?" Stay Tuned!

Enon777 @ Sep 3rd 2007 4:42PM

They should have used that money to remodel that room!

Hoosierdaddy812 @ Sep 3rd 2007 4:52PM

Each 12 oz can contains almost as much sugar as Red Bull. Like everyone else said a diabetics dream, and the stuff tastes like cough syrup. Why not just buy some beer if you want a buzz and you can't beat the taste.

David Wright @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:02PM

You just can't imagine an HDTV and a XB360 in that room can you, I think they'll have spliced the RF adaptor for the Xbox into the 360 into a 15" viewstar television receiving unit complete with wired "remote" control and manual screwdriver tuning facility, sweet!!

erivera3 @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:02PM

I think it tastes good, but I wouldn't sip on it a lot just because I don't want to die lol. Then again, sipping on a can of beer isn't necessarily a "better" idea, then again beer is good for you, so now I don't know what to think.

Beer pong for the win!

Drunkenshaolin @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:04PM

hope there teeth fall out...

ogvor @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:09PM

I tried that stuff recetly and it sucked. It does litearlly taste like Live Wire (orange mountain dew) and code red (cherry mountain dew) mixed together, and it taste worse than either. Besides, if your in it for the caffine, their are plenty of more caffinated drinks, check here for the caffine content of most sodas: http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20070825/food.asp

Seems like vault is where its at.

Jypson @ Sep 3rd 2007 5:34PM

I see a lot of puking in their future.

quesadia @ Sep 3rd 2007 6:14PM

nerds... wow all that could give you diabetes.
thats where all of its going, i can hardly find any at my supermarkets..

Sam @ Sep 3rd 2007 6:22PM

And this is gaming news how?

A bunch of idiots bought a bunch of soda that has a picture of master chief on the side.

Good for them

I hope they still enjoy the taste after the 20th-30th can.

This seems like such an easy oppertunity to bash those halo fans that i hate so much but i'm not even going to. I'm better than that.

Kritz @ Sep 3rd 2007 6:26PM

Keep telling yourself that, Sam.

Sam @ Sep 3rd 2007 6:37PM

Well like i said, it would be so easy to make a rediculously silly fanboy comment against the halo fans because of this but really, this could have been any group of idiots buying cans with any characters face on them.

I'll save my halo fanboy bashing for when its really needed.

Disclaimer: PSsWii60 Owner. I just really hate halo :P

psyborg @ Sep 3rd 2007 10:41PM

Game Fuel, Its about time Mountain Dew realized that marketing potential. I actually would get some if it didn't have Master Cheif on it.

Magic Whiskey @ Sep 3rd 2007 6:59PM

I've been drinking a can or two since I found it in stores sometime last month, and I really like it a lot.

I've also bought a case of Bawls from Thinkgeek.com before, and I drink almost all energy drinks, or at least try them once.

I would LOVE 55 cases of Game Fuel, but I wouldn't buy that much! I can see maybe buying ten cases to last for a while, considering it'll be taken off shelves sooner than later, but 55 cases is a bit much I think.

According to Wikipedia, Mountain Dew is planning a blueberry flavor for release sometime soon..I'm looking forward to that if it's true.

erivera3 @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:01PM

No really Sam?! No one would have EVER guessed you owned a POS3. It amazes me you still find time to come to our boards and talk about nerds, especially when all those great PS3 exclusives are available...haha. Thanks for trolling by, maybe you should buy a worthwhile system next time instead of the expensive paperweight you have sitting sadly in your "entertainment" center.

Magic Whiskey @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:05PM

...I'm a Halo 3 fanboy (the beta won me over), but more than that I'm a caffeine junkie. I usually get four shots of espresso in my latte drinks, I love to chew Black Black gum, and I miss DNL. Hell, the newer Jolt doesn't live up to it's first incarnation I think..there's no kick.

I really like the flavor of Game Fuel; it's not NEAR as sweet as some people have said, and it's GREAT near frozen.
I'd say it's a combo of Livewire and Code Red as some have mentioned, but I'd go farther and say that if you leave a can open and come back a while later, it tastes a little like if you'd melted a 'bomb pop'.

sam is gay!!! @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:15PM

first of all halo is the shit. secondly the carbinated melted slurpee (game fuel) aint bad either. and finally i feel like fragging sam after his bull shit comment!!!!

Sam @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:13PM

I owned my 360 way before i owned a PS3 my friend, and to be honest, i prefer it to the PS3. In fact i only bought my PS3 2 weeks ago because i had spare cash from selling my WoW account.

Live is better than PSN and the console supports VGA out of the box. I "prefer" the xbox 360.

My hate of halo/halo fanboys has nothing to do with the consoles i own.

Just because i dislike halo, doesn't mean i dont love my 360. I'm playing the skate demo on my TV behind me for maybe the 30th time since it was released.

Man whats up with gamers these days. Cant state any opinion without it instantly being construed as an act of console warring.

Twat.

Sam @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:18PM

Thats the kind of intelligent and completely logical comment i'd except from a halo fanboy.

Grats.

Richard Comegys @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:22PM

The biggest travesty of all is that sofa. Yeesh.

sam is gay!!! @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:24PM

hey sam, my gamertag: krazygamer94,.........ANYTIME anyone else reading this, send me a friend request.

Sam @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:27PM

Was that some sort of...internet threat or something?

You gonna voice chat me into submission and change my mind about halo?

/sigh

Magic Whiskey @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:26PM

I give respect to 360 fanboys that don't care for Halo as long as they respect Nintendo dudes that don't care for Mario games, or Sony guys that can't stand God of War.

It's just far and few between to find people like that, so when someone bashes or otherwise frowns on a big IP like Halo,other fanboys might take it to mean they're bashing the entire console.

There's room for everyone! I don't personally care for Madden, but I love football:)

sam is gay!!! @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:40PM

no sam i just feel like pwning u at ANY game on 360. oh and whats with the one word closings at the end of ur comments? do u think ur smart or something?

David @ Sep 3rd 2007 8:52PM

F that, they should take all the cans out and make a real pyramid. Stacking boxes is too easy.

sam is gay!!! @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:42PM

u there sam im realy enjoy ing this little chat. if it makes u feel any better ill change my name to.... any requests?

Sam @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:42PM

I only own GHII and Viva Pinata on my 360 atm so sorry, you wont be pwning me at anything.

And i'll write my comments however i like. This time i might even end in a two word summation, although it wont be as snappy.

And i dont think i'm smart, i know i'm smart.

Idiot Fanboys...

sam is gay!!! @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:48PM

Viva pinata, WoW????!!!! how old are u???? u should rent madden 08 and get back to me on me not pwning u at anything. p.S. THIS ISNT AN ANGRY CONVERSATION IS IT?

sam is gay!!! @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:52PM

sorry sam my dad says i have to get off the comp at 8 could we wrap this up? my first day of 2nd grade is 2morrow.

Sam @ Sep 3rd 2007 7:57PM

So unless i own Madden 08, i'm not a real adult in your eyes?

1) Viva pinata is a brilliant game, only idiots that haven't played it or dont have the patience for it brand it with the "kiddy" stick.

2) WoW is played by all ages. I know 12 year olds that play it and i know 45 year olds that play it. In fact i'd wager the average age of a WoW player is at least 21, if not higher.

3) I wont be buying Madden anytime soon. I'm not an american so the sport doesn't appeal to me in the slightest...and i'm not a fan of EA's yearly sports franchises regardless.

Oh and i really dont understand what this comment war is for btw. I mean we're not even slightly talking about halo, or this halo beverage that we came here to discuss. I just proclaimed my dislike for a game and i've got rabid fanboys all over me within minutes.

Oh, and using incorrect puncuation, capital letters and repeated exclamation points really makes you sound really composed, coherent and mature.

Seriously.

quesadia @ Sep 3rd 2007 9:02PM

well sam if you only have viva pinata and gh 2 whats the point of having a 360? come on..
but you buy all the other consoles, play/(ed) nerdy ol WoW, and still bash halo?
and it sounds like you look down on americans with this foreign sport.
thats funny. your missing out...
dont bother replying cause i wont read it. i just think its funny how you will read and reply cause you have nothing better to do.

Logan @ Sep 3rd 2007 10:21PM

Seriously 360 fanboy...how much are you being paid?

S3anie @ Sep 3rd 2007 11:35PM

I just bought 96 cans of it.. Hopefully it will last me for a couple months.

Anticrawl @ Sep 3rd 2007 10:50PM

To bad Microsoft didn't brand Halo 3 on Bawls. I'd have one more reason I need every case I see, that stuff is fucking amazing.

XFactoR8 @ Sep 3rd 2007 10:51PM

@ Sam

"my WoW account."

And you're calling everyone else nerds? STFU and get the F out you little prick.

Anticrawl @ Sep 3rd 2007 10:59PM

@ XFactoR8

We're on a gaming website, one that has the word "fanboy" in it. We're all nerds. Be proud.

UNSCleric @ Sep 3rd 2007 11:45PM

I've gone through around seven 12-packs, three 2-liters, and 7 20oz bottles.

S3anie @ Sep 3rd 2007 11:55PM

damn dude, I just bought 8 twelve packs haha.. I'm trying to not drink too much before Halo 3.

Sam @ Sep 4th 2007 1:06AM

Checking back in on this mad drama cos i got shitall else to do.

1) I didn't call anybody a nerd. Quote me where i used that word. And i'd fully consider myself a "nerd" or "geek" anyway. And like that dude said, we're all sitting reading comments on a gaming console blog. I defy anybody to be reading this right now and not basically be a "nerd".

2) So the reason i dont like madden is because i'm a foreign person who hates america? No. Its just not a sport that even exists in my country, so i have no interest in it at all. Same way as i dont have an interest in baseball or lacrosse. Same reason that for every copy of madden in britain, theres 1000 copies of fifa. Its a different country with different tastes.

3) I dont have many games for my 360 at the moment as i usually buy games, play them, then sell them on. I only keep games that i really really love. Check my gamertag if you're really that bored - "cheesebanana"

Jesus all i did was say i didn't like halo. Suddenly my taste in games, age and nationality is all instant material to be insulted.

I'm a 25 year old, scottish, nerd. I play games all day and i dont hate america as somebody suggested. I dont hate any console as i own them all, and even before i owned them all, i didn't look down on the others. The "console war" is freekin retarded and i'd be the first to tell you that.

I just dont freekin like halo.

Seriously.

Its like the word "opinion" isn't in the fanboys dictionary.
