Xbox & Rare team up with G-Fuel for new Conkers Bad Fur Day collaboration: Poo-themed energy drink. $60 for collectors edition.

Not only that, but the energy drink brand has created the whole thing around one of Conker's Bad Fur Day's weirdest characters: the Mighty Poo. Yep, G-Fuel is literally marketing a shit-themed drink from a game that's over two decades old. No, this isn't another toe-curlingly cringe skit from Nathan For You(opens in new tab). This is a real, actual thing that exists. Thankfully the drink itself won't taste like excrement—unless you're really not a fan of G-Fuel—but rather is "tropical corn soda" flavoured. Honestly, I'm not sure if that flavour is any better. I see what you're trying to do G-Fuel, and I hate it.


It's definitely one of the weirder energy drink collaborations the brand has gone for, and I'm still not entirely sure why Conker's Bad Fur Day was chosen over literally anything else. But to hand it to G-Fuel, the tub's design is pretty rad and I'm sure it's one that long-time Conker fans will appreciate. The limited-edition flavour also comes with an exclusive Mighty Poo Youtooz figure. For some reason they've given him pearly whites instead of what I always thought were corn for teeth, but aside from that he's a pretty neat-looking figurine. As neat as a plastic pile of poo can look, anyway.

Right now you can join a waitlist (opens in new tab)for the $60 collector's box, which is due to ship some time in April. I'm almost curious enough to buy it, just to know exactly what a tropical corn soda gamer drink would taste like. Almost. I'm not sure if I could get past the implications of why it's corn-flavoured, though.

TRAILER TWEET


That was barely a trailer These are the negotiations that are why Phil Spencer earned his 4th award this year by being inducted into the Bloomberg 50.

You can pre-order the $60 collectors edition by joining the waitlist here is interested https://gfuel.com/products/conker-m...ghty_poo&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

If you use the code "GIFTFUEL" you'll get 30% off according to the site. The collectors box ships on April 2023 and the flavor is "Tropical Corn Soda" which doesn't sound necessarily tasty at least on paper but it could be if you are a fan of energy drinks. The boxset also comes with a Youtooz toy figurine which probably makes up the bulk of the price.


Conker is back baby.

Don't know who is more stupid.
The idea or the people who will buy it.

Between this and the new ad with the Series s magically coming to life and befriending a gamer, I'm not sure which is the more baffling marketing strategy.

Is Phil ok these days, maybe the Activision thing is getting to him.

He is old man. he is 54 years old. A man like him needs to step down, he is done enough. He is 1 year younger than satya.

Would be nice if we found out they were working on a new game, but doubtful.
Microsoft (and by extension all the companies they've absorbed) are far too woke and politically correct to ever let that happen. Unless they approve of every joke.

High on Life may have been allowed on GP. But make no mistake, only lefty humour that goes through a stringent and "diverse" woke process and that ticks the lefts boxes would ever be allowed to happen. Those right of Stalin need not apply.
