First experience with GFule

[ShaunOfNintendo]

So like many people I got curious of this product given the amount of controversy surrounding products like these.

Last night I sat down for a 4 hour session of Rocket League 2v2s Competitive with a tub of Fruit Punch GFule at my side taking sips of it whenever I just felt like having a drink (pretty much at the same pace I would drink a 750ml bottle of water)

I started that session at the rank Challenger 3 Div 3 (There are 5 divs in each rank and you usually need roughly 4 wins to reach the next div in the Challenger rankings) and I ended that session at the rank Challenger Elite Div 3.

Weather myself and my teammate just happened to just be playing like gods together that day or we were playing better together because of the fact that was more focused thanks to GFule is still kinda unknown.

 

But I mean fug, look at this graph here. That big line going up? That's our win streak!

 

That spike at the end was me going from Challenger 3 Div 5 to Challenger Elite Div 2, you go to Div 2 whenever you rank up.

 

So yeah, if anyone here has used GFule in the past, can you give me your opinions on it?

Do you take it daily, weekly, not at all, etc..?

 

Thanks!

I would do more trials

Then I would do the same amount of trials with no GFule

Which would require me to buy more GFule...those clever bastards...

Actually you needed more controlled variables before the experiment. Such as what was your winning curve prior to GFule? Look up the Placebo effect; alot of people tend to hype themselves up over something and then have great performance ratings.

That was something I forgot to mention, thanks. You're right, the placebo effect could most definitely been a factor here. Mainly what I'm looking to get from this post is other's longer experience with GFule and if it matches up with the results I've got. Though I am still going to continue to experiment with it further myself.

Multiplayer matches are not very good metrics for these kinds of tests. The variables are far too much out of your control. You could simply hit a streak of noob scrubs that you pwn like the fools they are. That doesn't mean the GFule is making you better.

 

What you need to do is create a set of strictly controlled metrics, that can measure the various effects - wakefulness, alertness, attention to detail, reflexes, reaction time, accuracy, etc.

 

Frankly, doing stuff like mathematical questions and physical puzzles would be more accurate. Or a highly scripted single player segment of a game where every run is identical.

Why is everyone spelling it as "GFule" instead of "GFuel".

Is it a joke that I don't know of?

Because I cannot spell, I wrote Fule. Oops

But the problem is everyone does it...

Was wondering is it because we're not allowed to type out certain products or is it a joke or maybe misspell for fun...

It's the same thing with people saying "cancel" and "cancle". L and E can easily get miss placed in some words.

I'm sure there's probably a better example than that, but you get what I mean.

I simply copied his spelling, as I assumed he knew how to spell the product. *shrugs*

I'm definitely fine if it's done once or twice but you did it for a record 7 times throughout this thread, I'm pretty convinced that is not a typo on your side...

 

Oh well.

Well the difference here is that if I see you write "cancle", I know you spelled it wrong.

 

But GFuel is a product brand name. Brand names often intentionally spell things incorrectly *cough*SyFi*cough*.

 

So if someone who is reviewing the product types it as "GFule", I'll just assume that's the way the manufacturer has branded the product. I've never seen GFuel in person, and hardly ever see pictures of it, so I wouldn't know that he's spelled it wrong.

And the threads turned into a spelling bea

 

Keep being you, Linus tech tips.

Way too many variable. Mood, placebo, energy levels, anxieties, x2 (including your teamie) all have an effect.

That's what I thought I read, and I had never heard of it

[ShaunOfNintendo]

Thanks for all the feed back on this guys.

I'm going to try to eliminate as many of those variables that @MrDynamicMan mentioned next time around.

I'll update this post accordingly.
