I can't tell who this is making fun of.
It seems like they're teasing people that obviously have a huge stock of coins, but the last two lines makes it seem like it's an average player.
We're going to have words later.
Hmm... I can't find anything to indicate Japan was involved at any point along the way. The inventor was Thai and started sale of it in Thailand. Mateschitz visited Thailand and adapted it (basically just added sugar and carbonation) for a western market and he and the inventor founded the Red Bull GmbH corporation together. Just look at "Country of Origin" on the right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull
I first encountered it as Krating Daeng in Shanghai, China in 1998. Everyone called it Red Bull (using the English words) which I thought was bizarre. It was in a small gold can and not carbonated but other than that really tasted pretty similar to what we have in the States today. Of note, it was freaking EVERYWHERE. Even in the places that had the most limited beverage options you could expect Coke, almond milk and Red Bull. Weird stuff.
Exclusive in July.

Sugar free ain't that bad as far as energy drinks go. It's sort of an acquired taste though. Definitely doesn't taste healthy. Like... 5/10?
hmmm thats better. especially the national release in august.

The only knock against VoG is the Oracle part.

CE would have been a great stepping stone from Strikes to Raids. Some actual mechanics unlike Strikes but still short and simple relative to VoG. Small details like being able to build the bridge solo without wiping from the Totems show that the fine-tune testing wasn't quite there. It'd be kinda like soloing Gate Keepers because the "lost in time" didn't wipe you fast enough.
I agree soloing CE was bad for its rep, and the HM forced under-leveling was a disaster. But those were never the reasons why I think it's a bad raid. My main gripes are (1) doesn't build a mechanical vocabulary, (2) Crota fight is 1-person show, and (3) too small and short to create a sense of adventure. That last gripe sounds like it's definitely being addressed, based on Luke's comments that the new raid is the biggest yet and will convey the feeling of moving through a large space with your fireteam. Can't wait.
Yeah I honestly did think it was pretty tasty. Ordered a whole lot of it in places where water was a no-no

All this talk about Red Bull has made me crave a Jaeger-Bomb or four.
I think I may have to partake this evening while grinding out some strikes/dailies/Petra's Bounties.
The only thing that pisses me off about Destiny these days is the serious lack of good loot. Nightfall x3 last night was a joke. Nothing but three legendary weapons that went straight into the trash. I'm getting like 50-60 motes of light a week, but nothing decent. Many of the new guns seem too same-y.
I think it's time to become a grimoire hunter instead of worrying about the gjally rat-race.

Nah that parts good. Its only frustrating when you have people who lterally cannot follow the leaders directions no matter how hard they think they are trying.
Next time I'll tell whoever did it to plaster a Hunter's or warlock's head all over it instead. :/
It's making fun of the folks wanting the coins to drop from the chest.

Same here. Drank it for a long time when I was working double shifts. The taste grew on me. It's not a fruity tasting drink at all though. Nothing like Monster or something like that.

I love the time travelling part, the HUGE jump before the Gorgon Labyrinth and the Labyrinth itself ! And the Vault of Glass looks really cool. Overall probably the best raid I have ever seen in any video game.
Thanks to everyone who participated. It was an arduous task but we did it, good job everyone !

You like doing the part for like 15mins? It's boring.
Im talking about the Oracles before Templar.
lmao are you guys all using speech to text or what
the thai product is based on japanese drinks. source: both factories that produce the stuff (yes, there's only two, they ship it in cans) are less than 20 mins away from here.
EDIT: it's also on the german wiki: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull#Unternehmen_und_Geschichte

I don't mind oracles except it is simply too long. It should be like 4 or 5 cycles with less time between them in my opinion.
I'm down, next time check your PSN messages.
I like the sugar free too.
I spit my drink out when I saw your avatar. Truly everything has been taken. Now time to watch this video.
The original drink. Krating Daeng. It's a bit like cough syrup, then an Austrian bought the rights to it, turned it into a soda and started the energy drink market,

I think Circle K bought all the 7-11s here and I'd rather shoot myself in the face than go to Walmart. Oh well.
That's all most people ever do is cheese it.
It's better.
And you don't get the sugar crash afterwards after the caffeine high.
i gave up on all energy drinks. the caffeine withdrawal headaches on Sunday were not worth it.
both methods are boring.
You're not wrong raindoc, I was at a conference in Korea years ago and they had tables of the Japanese stuff in little brown glass bottles for the delegates coming out of (or going in to) the lectures to keep us awake. The purple/blue label was really distinctive and really made it look like medicine, no idea what that stuff was called though.

Thank you Nuszka and Slammin_Hammon!
Got my titan his PoE helm from a judgements chance with some decent rolls. Titan now at level 32 with defender almost completely unlocked. Just need gloves now and to work on striker over the next few days
They grow up so fast T_T
I and pretty much all Asians I know grew up on the Asian red bull. The thing will keep you up better than anything on the market. I'm responsible for introducing it to my high school friends and making them stay up all night as well. One is already overkill but since it tastes so good you can easily drink more than one. The nerfed American watered down version is nowhere near as good. You couldn't even pay me to drink it.

How the hell do we not have a photoshopped warlock with that fiery wings when using ADS perk?
I mean... is it too obvious so people aren't going that route?
My brother in law is on his 3rd kidney stone. He passed the last one. I'm still waiting for him to connect the dots. The last one he passed was 7mm.
Yes, the dots were explained to him very clearly by his doctor each time

Glad you enjoyed it
First time is best time in my opinion. VoG is a cool place. Still best raid imho.MrChowderClams

I think the Korean ones are called Bacchus. Similar label to Redbull. Haven't had any since I was last there though... about a decade ago

Always warms my heart to hear a great first timer's experience. I can still hear my PUG's shouts of joy when we finally took down Templar on release day: "We've totally gotta make a clan together guys!"
The only knock against Oracles is that everyone cheeses it and falls asleep. Also, having Confluxes-Oracles-Templar in the same place makes it drag. In hindsight, I wish they'd combined the C-O phases somehow and had <7 Oracle waves. I know it's Bungie and 7 but maybe do O-C-O-C-O-C-O, although they probably felt that was too much to throw at new players at once.
My point is the Oracles phase is good, damnit! #TeamOracleDefenseForce
