Mana Energy Potions being sold in Lunia MMO

by Griffin McElroy on Jun 30th 2009 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?

Fuck mana...where's my Phoenix Down?

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!"

Am I getting drunk?

that prison wine article was hilarious. thanks griffin.

this is the best one. http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000142.php

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

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?

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

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

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.

Or Aple/Orange Gel

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.

You'll probably drink it, then explode.

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?

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

"NEED MORE MANA"
Someone needed to do it.

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.

Are you sure it wasn't nail-polish remover?

Hey hey Griffin, you linked to that site (Steve, Don't Eat It!) on your Twitter.

I NOTICED, I NOTICED!!!
