has 2097 inspired you to drink red bull???

alright, cheers eL, was worried and I saw on codejunkies, their dongle as I was looking round, thought of taking that route, dunno how viable that option is though :dizzy I see (when looking up the DWL122) that it's basically the same idea so no worries :)

basically the same does not necessarily mean it's gonna work. there is only a handful of wireless cards that are compatible with xlink, and the DWL is definitely the cheapest and easiest option, seeing as it's USB and you won't have to open your PC to install it, so I would suggest you really try and get that one.
Once you have it, just contact me on msn and we'll rush through the setup.

so to play on kai i need a dwl122 usb wireless adaptor, where can i get on of these from?

There is the link for you= Amazon

cool, thanks Stevie :)

Yeah, thats right. I was too young to be drinking 'energy enhancers' but i remember thinking sony and psygnosis were taking over the world.
Now im hooked on the stuff. :D
There was even a poster on the fridge it was in that said 'Improve reaction times!'
Thinking about this makes me want to try WipEout while drinking red bull. Hmm.

Bourbon and cola works better for me; caffeine for alertness, alcohol to be relaxed instead of jittery.

Thanks for bringing this thread back on topic. :)

It's funny you ask this question. This game did in fact get me to drink Red Bull. lol.

after 2097 I tryed red bull but here, in sweden, it's bitter :blarg
in thailand - sweet! :D
well .. too much sugar so ..
nop I didn't get hooked on it.

i got home from work today, and bought a can of red bull and i find an email reminder of this topic, oh how i love to come home get a can of red bul and enjoy with a cig as in the words of solid snake

"you may know alot about science, but you sont know how good a cigarette taste with a can of cold red bull"

Does Red Bull taste good? :?

Not really (particulary the lite version, ewww), but with cigarettes it's different. Better imo, but that's up to debate. Red Bull is pretty syrupy in taste (not texture) but it has it's own taste that I can't really explain. If you have had Red Bull, it's easy to understand the taste. Because it's not as sickly as I make it out to be, lol.

Personally, I enjoy Red Bull for it's energy boost, but the drink's taste I do quite find I have a tongue for.
So I'm going back on what I said and now saying that it tastes pretty good (If a bit sweet)

I love the taste of Red Bull, it's like an extremely tingly pop without much sugar taste. I swear it starts absorbing into your bloodstream as you swallow. Esophagus - nerves - veins - heart - YIPPEE!:bat

It must be a different mix in every country.

It may be that I am just addicted to caffeine, too. "Who never knows" as Asa says. I drank coffee long before I drank Red Bull.

I'm stickin' with tea.

Red Bull sounds pretty awful. They paint their DeHavilland Vampire really well, though.

I don`t like Red Bull cos it`s taste pretty shite! but my wife drunk three or four cans per day!!!:o

stevie:)

Three or four!! Is she still alive? If I drink one can on an empty stomach I sometimes think my heart will explode, tickety-tickety-boom.

LOL!

Well, she told me, she drunk at one time was eight cans!, so yes, that`s alot!, but!, I do drink another energy drink called Irn Bru 32 and I only drink one a day.

Well, being from Austria I grew up with that drink. Despite being available everywhere, drinking it, let alone liking it, was kinda taboo. In school there were those that drank Red Bull and those that didn't. Much like the ones that already smoked and drank alcohol at 12. It was a long, hard road to establish the drink in society. Although I drank it occasionally when I could afford it (it was much more expensive back then, even though it still sets you back much more than any other soft-drink, ~1.20Eur/can), it wasn't until I was like 16 that I began to drink it on a regular basis. That was like in 1995. I always liked the taste. When 2097 was released and I saw it was sponsored by Red Bull I somehow felt proud. ^^ Pathetic, I know. It's just that there was no such thing as product placement back then in videogames and I somehow felt more connected to reality yet immersed, when playing the game. It was awesome. So, no, I'd drunk Red Bull long before 2097 but it definitely helped to keep my dose up ;)

Btw, in Austria, in addition to the god-awful sugar-free one, we also got big cans with more caffeine. Are they available in other countries too?
