Gaming essentials: Caffeine

-

Let's talk about gaming essentials. And what better way to start this series off than with the most important, caffeine.

I don't know about you, but besides alcohol I am an avid caffeine abuser. A day doesn't go by without me consuming in some form the nectar of the Gods. 

Now on to what we came for.

1. Mountain Dew, specifically Game Fuel

Mountain Dew is the cornerstone of every gaming session since forever. Whatever flavor you go for doesn't matter because they all contain higher amounts of caffeine than your average soda. Mountain Dew and all its variants are worth trying. As a matter of fact, I am gulping down some Dew right now as I type.


Game Fuel is my favorite for a long session of junk food and gaming. Citrus Cherry is what I am suggesting you get only. They made another but for me, citrus cherry is better. If you like Code Red then you will definitely enjoy citrus cherry since it's the same flavor with more of a kick of citrus.

2.Monster

My first experience with Monster was the original green can. Before energy drinks took off, and all the dangers accompanied with them, I was knocking back cans left and right. At the time I was a skater going out from sun up to sun down. I was fueled by Monster. 

Fast forward more than a decade later and that same green can makes my stomach turn. Too sweet. I feel old just saying that. Fortunately, Monster follows the Mountain Dew formula and continues to produce varieties. 

Coffee, protein, and sugar filled concoctions all hit the market. What I have always enjoyed was their juice line. The ones with the 20% juice added. Pipeline Punch is my recommendation if you haven't tried it. The only thing they have done wrong is their attempt at a game.

3.Rockstar

I have been to many concerts sponsored by Rockstar. They too continue to launch new products. Are they is good as Monster? Depends on the mood I am in. 

Try their juice or whipped flavors. All good to me. Original Rockstar I can tolerate over the Monster green can. 

4.Obscure forms

I have only tried caffeine gum. Wasn't bad. Other than that, I have no experience with the soap or jerky. There's mints and even chocolate covered espresso beans. 

None of them stick out to me. I have no real interest in them. You will have to do your own taste testing and report back to me what is good.

How I drink mine

I prefer my caffeine in liquid form. Easiest way to consume with higher amounts of the legal crack. Regardless of how you choose to consume, as gamers I feel we all rely on caffeine. Even if you have a small glass of tea that still counts.I live off energy drinks. There are so many more I could name off, but to keep it short I chose not to. I may have to do a part two to this caffeine post.

This is the part where I tell you what pairs well together. I don't condone caffeine and alcohol mixing, but if I did, Redbull and Crown all the way. That shit is amazing. Whoever came up with that cocktail deserves an award.

What are your favorite forms of caffeine? Perky Jerky, Monster Java, or what about just straight black coffee?

Three Solo RPG Resources

-

Playing an RPG solo can be difficult. It doesn't have to be with these suggested resources. I admit that I do not get out as much as I should. It can be difficult some days to leave the house. Especially now that the weather here in Texas has just gotten bad. Not that weather influences my decisions anyway. I do not mind being introverted. Some say I am missing out and I agree to a certain point. I have played DnD 5 th edition online using the site https://roll20.net/ . There is something missing when you do not have that human interaction. I played groups with people all over the world. The problem is you do not know these people and sometimes the group does not always get along. It is easier to leave an online chat versus in person. Instead of meeting faceless people, I would rather play alone. Looks daunting at first. The people I do want to play with have no interest in roleplaying. I understand. Not everyone wants to. I am not always up for going out to game

Mini Liquor Bottles: The Good And The Bad

-

This post is brought to you by four mini liquor bottles. Small doses but added all up together they give quite the punch. I'm going to name off the good and bad of these little devils. Let’s start positive with the good. 1. Price On average you will be spending anywhere from a dollar to two. Small investment for a quick taste. Beer may not be for everyone. A little bit of liquor makes for a good alternative. 2. Variety Inexpensive bottles are the best way to try out new drinks. A handful of bottles can give you the opportunity to try drinks you normally wouldn't. Not all tequila is good. I managed to find my new favorite today. Only a dollar was spent, and I can live with that. Imagine dropping forty-five dollars on a bottle you hate. I would still drink it. I can't speak for others. Now for the bad  1. Only one bottle Let's say you find a drink you like.  Great. The problem is you only bought one bottle and the li

I am going to tell you my 2019 recipe for making Brass Monkey. Super simple and you'll be asking why you never thought of it. Been a little while since I have posted. There's a good reason for my absence. It has something to do with this recipe. My new favorite drink. Cue the Beastie Boys. I'm talking Brass Monkey. How did I get to this point in life that the only way to numb the pain is with a 90s house party staple? Well, it all started with underage drinking. Statistically, if you were an underage drinker then you are more likely to become a heavy drinker as an adult. Or whatever. I swear I read that somewhere. I am going to tell you how I create this tangy, poor man's drink my way. First, let's get out the way on how to properly prepare Brass Monkey or specifically what it was and is now. Brass Monkey Original Recipe This may come as a shock, but the original recipe has nothing to do with a 40. In fact, the original Brass Monkey originates back to
