Mana Energy Potions being sold in Lunia MMO

by Griffin McElroy { Jun 30th 2009 at 7:00PM }

Right, stay with us now -- Harcos, creators of the gaming-themed "beverage" Mana Energy Potion, have formed a partnership with multiplayer game portal Ijji to bring the "beverage" to the latter company's anime-influenced MMO, Lunia. Yes, the game-themed Mana Energy Potion has disembarked from the physical plane, and returned to the virtual world, either adding another layer of originality to the "beverage," or stripping said originality away altogether.

You may also be wondering why we keep putting quotes around the word "beverage." That's to symbolize the fact that if we were telling you this story in person, we'd be doing the finger-quote thing every time we said the word, as if to convey our less-than-favorable feelings towards the "beverage."

Get it? No? How about this -- Mana Energy Potions taste like rotten prison wine. Is that clear enough for you?

How dare you sir!

Now imagine being a sorceress in Diablo 2 and having to chug one every few seconds.

To quote Walter from Jeff Dunham's act

"What was I thinking! Someone kill me please!"

Haha, they sort of look like crackpipes.

Excuse me, Mr. McElroy, I believe they were handing these out at the Joystiq Reader Meet-Up. Too harsh.

The red was meh, the blue was tasty enough.

I haven't tried the blue, but the Red one tasted like cranberry juice mixed with horse piss. Honestly though, I wanted it more for the bottle than what was inside. It's now (filled with water and food coloring) another trinket surrounding my computer's elaborate shrine. :D

I am a machineee @ Jul 1st 2009 12:25AM

Lol I actually have a few extra for that purpose. And I put the blue one in a corked glass vial. Wow we are nerds, eh?

Leroy_Octopus @ Jun 30th 2009 7:23PM

Wait, they made a partnership to call it Mana Energy Potion? Couldn't they have just called it that. Every other game does it.

Sly @ Jun 30th 2009 7:27PM

it's advertising. see how each one has the game logo on it?

squeehunter @ Jun 30th 2009 9:43PM

Mana itself should be okay for everyone to use so I guess it's marketing. First mana potion ever: "So Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar and put an omer of manna in it. Then place it before the LORD to be kept for the generations to come.""

At least it's not chu jelly.

This is the same stuff that has 1200% of your daily reccomended Vitamin B6, and an astounding 6667% of your daily reccomended Vitamin B12?

Yeah, no thanks.

Also, loved the Steve, Don't Eat It link. Always been a fan of The Sneeze.

Ignatius @ Jun 30th 2009 7:35PM

You'll probably drink it, then explode.

Wiizer @ Jun 30th 2009 7:28PM

Anybody played Lunia? I'm looking to get into the casual MMO scene, but having some problems finding a cheap worthwhile RPG.

I know, cheap and worthwhile is difficult to find in one of these things, but Lunia looks pretty good from what I'm reading... Any other suggestions?

smcn @ Jun 30th 2009 7:38PM

FreeRealms is pretty fun actually, though I only played it for a couple weeks.

Pensier @ Jun 30th 2009 7:50PM

"NEED MORE MANA"
Someone needed to do it.

protofunc @ Jun 30th 2009 9:01PM

This made me laugh :D

Ryoga Vee @ Jul 1st 2009 12:35AM

I just finished doing an event for Mana at Fanime 2009 and also shooting some footage for their website. I Met with the company in Santa Monica and they are all really awesome guys and gals.

Just a little FYI for the group - I drank one of those things a few months ago and legitimately thought I was going to die. Shortly after drinking it I got dizzy and it was incredibly hard to breathe. It was NOT PLEASANT. My body apparently cannot process more than 6000% of recommended B12.
