He's right. I understand that it's part of what you consider to be a gamer image to not care about things like looks and hygiene, but if you were to do nothing more than to just drop out the calories that you drink every day, you'd see a drastic difference in not only in your looks, but the way you feel. Also, if you cut out that amount of sugar and caffeine from your regular intake, when you actually want to use an energy drink to stay awake, one 16 oz. can can keep you going all night.
In fact I think you'll find that if you quit energy drinks altogether, you'll not only have much more energy in general but for those times when you really do just need an energy boost a cup of good, cheap black tea will more than suffice.
Exactly! It's hard to realize when you're drinking 10 cokes and 3 Rockstars a day (That was me a year ago, no joke) but that stuff really is addictive, and like any addictive substance, you need more and more just to keep yourself going, and that's exactly what they're counting on.
I used to go through a couple cups of coffee and two or three red bulls a day, and I didn't even register drinking a can of soda
now that I've mostly dropped soda and have stopped drinking energy drinks altogether I feel entirely better
Also, I thought most of you guys considered yourselves discerning consumers who were too smart for big ad campaigns? It's a little odd that as soon as someone mentions that something is for "gamers" you guys break down the doors trying to get at it.
whatever, we all have our vices and I'm not going to get on someone's back for drinking "energy" drinks
I just think it's silly to complain about one drink not being available at PAX
if you can't enjoy your weekend without drinking Bawls specifically, that's a pretty good indicator you might have issues
Oh I know we all have our vices. Hell, cigarettes are still one of mine, but I'm just trying to dole out some helpful advice. Generally I'm under the impression that people like to feel good and look good, but maybe that's just me.
Go back to SE++ you twatwaffles. This thread was not asking for health advice, just merely wishing that there was Bawls at PAX again. It used to be a major part of it, and some people wish it was again.

Oh sorry bro, didn't mean to tread on your turf. Also, I didn't know that bawls was ever even a part of PAX, guess I'm just not part of the in crowd.

it was never a major part of it
it was available, and some people considered it much more important than it actually ever was
it's just a drink
and I know what this thread is about, but I guess I just didn't expect to see this many people flipping out because a single specific beverage wasn't going to be at PAX
This thread was nice until the trolls arrived and berated me for actually liking Bawls...
Heaven forbid that I actually have a preference in what I drink!
And don't clump Bawls into the other "gaming" food/drink.
Mana sucks
Gamer grub sucks
Bawls actually has a nice subtle taste, and the bottles are fricken sweet. It is leagues above other "gaming" food/drink and I prefer it above almost all other energy drinks... So
Out of all the energy drinks out there... Bawls actually has the least amount of extra chemicals in it.
Heee! Trolls from SE++ with nothing better to do! FUN TIMES! Wheeee!
Also, health advice goes over in the PAX Weight Loss thread.

I'm not trolling anyone. I'm not attacking you for liking Bawls. I just don't see how one beverage is all that important to PAX. I have my drink and food preferences, but you don't see me crying about them not being at PAX. Yet just because some buy into the hype that Bawls is the gamer drink, it's perfectly acceptable to raise a stink every year about it not being in the convention.

Well this is my first year at PAX, and seeing how popular Bawls is among the gaming community, I just figured that there would be a vendor at PAX catering to those who enjoy it. And seeing that it's not going to happen kinda bums me out.
So is it so wrong of me to post a thread about it?
Man, all I did was tell you guys that cutting the amount of calories that you drink on a daily basis makes you feel better. I'm just saying it, I'm not trolling anyone or telling you your terrible for liking anything. I'm on your side here.
The specific problem came when Captain Cthulhu came in and started insulting people for liking Bawls and energy drinks/soda in general. If you don't think that wasn't a troll, an attack, then you're wrong.
what's so "idiotic" about giving you guys perfectly legitimate advice
because your attempt at advice comes off as condescending soapboxing, even more so because youre skewing your information as well. People here know what theyre drinking. zomg, energy drinks are bad?!
Also, I enjoy bawls quite a bit (insert obligatory bawls in my face joke here ___ ) especially the sugar free drink thats pretty popular.
and if youre going to be talking about silly threads, there are a bunch of them but theyre all pax related so its ok
The specific problem came when Captain Cthulhu came in and started insulting people for liking Bawls and energy drinks/soda in general. If you don't think that wasn't a troll, an attack, then you're wrong.
Seriously, if you felt attacked, you have some serious insecurity issues. It's something I cut out of my life and it made me feel better, so I tell other people that it could make them feel better to. Plus, not only would they feel better, they wouldn't be bummed that it wasn't at pax. Yeah I guess it's a little soapboxy, but whatever, I say it to people in real life too, since it made a major difference in my over all health.
Sorry bros, just having a discussion but I guess opinions aren't tolerated.
part of the problem is that some of you are lumping anyone that normally posts at SE together, so if one of us says something stupid then you hold all of us accountable for it

besides, pax is 3 out of 365.25 days of the year! SPOIL YO SELF!
anyway if you guys want to willfully refuse our advice go ahead
I just thought you might want to take some steps to lead a healthier life
Well that's the case then go for it. I know I drink a lot more alcohol than normal come pax time.

God, I hope so. Although if I'm being honest, a steady supply of salt that tastes like bacon would probably end me.
it's pretty damn tasty on sammiches

I would support this if I could get a bacon-salt rimmed margarita.
