The biggest and baddest online retailer for everything geektacular is now officially selling Mana Energy Potion! Check out their awesome product description:
"You've been there before. You are playing your level 70 priest and are about to cast Circle of Healing to revitalize your group during a raid in the bowels of Azeroth's nether regions. But alas, you've been playing for 40 hours straight, and you fall asleep before you can cast the spell. And then everyone in your group dies. And then they all hate you. All because you couldn't stay awake. Loser. Well, let us deliver your salvation from this impending disaster. Let us gift you with more Mana - Mana Energy Potion, that is."
Read the rest here and make sure to also pick up two of my personal favorites, BSG Sweatshirts and some lightsabers.
We had the immeasurable honor of co-hosting Geekscape with Jonathan. On the episode, Jonathan does something you're really, REALLY not supposed to do with Mana Potions, comics get reviewed, and Brian tells the story of one of the grossest "pranks" I've ever heard. By "prank," I mean something that might get you killed.
Download it on itunes (search for Geekscape, it's a free download), or get it some other place that I haven't found yet. In either case, Geekscape is an awesome show, and you should at least download Episode 59: The Perfect Lightsaber, which may, in fact, describe the perfect lightsaber. You may have guessed that from the title.
Thanks to Chad for the still photo!
Here's an excerpt from a very amusing email exchange. 1) No offense Switzerland 2) Cooldown is 24 hours:
Not that it matters. The threat still stands, as I have no verification on the cooldown. Also, you say the standard mana is 100 for a normal, real world human being? That's true in some ways, but you have to take into account that a lot of us are geared with objects that provide significant intelligence bonuses. Why, I myself am sporting nearly 2k mana! That's almost enough to solo Switzerland!
So for the love of God, make a jumbo size for those of us decked out in epics, who may wish to run extensive adventures in the various dungeons of the every day world, such as shopping malls, wal-mart and of course.. Switzerland.
Who the hell lives in a country centralized around cheese anyway?
Anyway, my point is, I may have goofed on the first letter, but my mana rejuvinational needs still go un-met.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go farm babies for easy experience points. Now where did I set my +4 maul of baby mashing...
Sincerely,

Hello you guys,
Here's a (not so) serious death threat from Germany. Let me state my cause:
I am an enthusiastic role-playing gamer (pen & paper) who has seen her days of cruel "reality hang-over" due to long, intense, and enthralling RPG sessions. Now, I'm absolutely thrilled by your idea of putting mana into bottles and selling it. What a wonderful idea. What a bliss for the gaming community!
But why - in the name of the greater being called ... (insert your god of choice here) - do I have to wait until you conquer the European market with your valuable and oh so welcome product? Did I do anything wrong in my former existence(s)? Did I not gather enough experience points?
Oh my, I suppose that I have to settle with some ordinary and inglorious Red Bull (TM) for now until you'll decide to sell global...
Meekly presenting my death threat in this spirit,
Sincerely yours,
L_______
Ps.:
Great internet appearance - I very much like your web layout and artwork
- and seriously: It's a very cool idea for an energy drink! Hope you'll have all the success you deserve. - Greetings, L.
Okay, so we just spent $38.70 shipping a 6-pack to Alaska, and unfortunately that's going to be our last one. If you really REALLY want mana and you're in these states, you can email us and help pay insane shipping fees, but otherwise, sorry guys.
So congrats Scott, you will be the only person with mana in Alaska until it gets distribution up there.
Grizzly from http://www.solarnavigator.net, or maybe Alaska...
