Health Potion for the Epic Gamer
January 27th, 2009 by Theo, MMOsite Columnist
Ever needed to revitalize during a long gaming session? Wished there was a way you could replenish your energy as easily as your in-game character does, with a swig of a Health Potion?
Well now you can!
Harcos, creators of the Mana Energy Potion have released a new Potion that is guaranteed to bring you back to 100% from any loss of Health! Well, perhaps not, but they are brewed specifically for gamers who not only need to refresh their vitality, but who also enjoy a sarcastic reminder that they are indeed MMORPG nerds.
The Health Energy Potion, “With a mellow apple-cinnamon flavor and helpful herbs and vitamins like elderberry, ginseng, biotin, and folate, …is sure to restore you after a battle or before another day of the cubicle grind. It offers a very similar energy effect to it’s blue kin, but with a more restorative curve.”
So what’s the difference between the two potions? “Health Energy Potion has powerful energy similar to Mana Energy Potion, except that instead of getting you charged up to do battle, it recharges you after the fight. With a slightly different energy profile, it will pick you up for work in the morning or get you ready for a new night of gaming.”
The drink alone not satirical enough for you, well you are in luck; there is a comedic review of the product at IGN by Scott Lowe and Mark Bozon. Here is an excerpt;
“Being the soft, doughy embodiment of the ‘token hardcore gamer’ that I am - huge gamer score, pockets filled with various handheld systems, and smelly crevices - I tend to down my fair share of energy drinks. There’s something about going a week with only four or five hours of sleep, and then rounding it off during the weekend with a few all-nighters and the occasional catnap that makes me want to high five a mirror ¨C ‘Who rules? You do!’ - but the degree in funology and minor in awesomeism doesn’t come cheap. We’re talking dozens, if not a few more than dozen energy drinks every once in a while, and that means a lot of experimentation with various tonics. I can’t tell you how many bottles I’ve downed that have lightning bolts on them, are shaped like explosives or large flexing men, or have the words “awesome”, or ‘extreme’, or ‘platapus’ on them. It’s like every single one.
…Then came the health potion.
It’s pretty dang good, might I say, and it certainly gives off some pretty cool vibes in a matter of minutes. I drank one on an empty stomach, really just testing the taste against the Mana Potion, and forgot all about drinking it and went back to work. Within 10 minutes though - I kid you not - I could feel it, and got a pretty quick ‘up’ from the drink. No crash later in the day either, no trips to the bathroom to spew out liquid hatred like with many of my previous energy drink binges (that part doesn’t really happen). Just quick energy, and a taste I’m fine with. Apparently each of them are equal to two cans of Red Bull or so, and given the nasty taste of that stuff, I’d gladly down one of these before a late night (or early morning; amirite guys?) of gaming. Seriously, they taste good, and give you energy. What else do you want?”
Remember, all fun and games aside, this is a real energy drink that can carry real side effects, so if you decide to use it, do your research and read the Mana Energy Potion FAQ.
