Gears of War: E-Day
Gears of War: E-Day is set 15 years before the original game, and I guess there were a lot of soda machines around when the Locust Horde arrived. Thankfully, battle-hardened screenshot scavenger doc is here to catalog them all, starting with the Premium Fizzy Originals Soda Pop machine seen above.
And here’s another Fizzy Originals model…
What do you mean, “Let’s hope there’s not more”? Let’s hope there are lots more!
Next up is this brightly lit ice cold drinks vending machine, but it seems to have a little… red on it.
Here’s a less bloody version.
Coming up next is this cold drinks machine, along with a snack machine that, if you ask me, looks more like a cigarette vending machine. Maybe it sells candy cigarettes. For snacking.
What’s cooler than being cool? Ice cold — just like this ice cold beverages machine!
Finally, we have this cold drinks machine. All these soda machines might explain why the soldier guys in Gears of War look so aggressively hydrated.
And, to close things out, here’s a closer look at that vending machine’s offerings.
It looks like we have orange, cranberry, ginger ale and ginger beer, and something called Bone Skull. Sounds delicious!
Thanks for the amazing work on this one, doc!
The Night Is Grey
This Alpha Cola vending machine provides a welcome glow in The Night Is Grey, a 2024 point-and-click adventure from Whalestork Interactive.
The screenshot was submitted by friend-of-the-site Ron, who shared a little context: “At this point in the game, that soda machine is one of your only light sources at the edge of kind of a spooky wooded area. You are later able to get some lights on, but that soda machine is basically your lifeline at the beginning of that chapter.” Thanks, Ron!
Star Trek Online
Captain’s Log, Stardate 86088.6: After completing the Starfleet tutorial and taking command of the U.S.S. Stalwart, I immediately set a course for Deep Space 9 at maximum warp. Upon arrival, I discovered this replimat on the Promenade dispensing a human beverage known as “root beer” for a mere 20 credits.
If your tastebuds don’t find root beer particularly engaging, you can always head back to the Beta Quadrant for a Starfleet-issued cream soda.
I thought the Federation was supposed to be a post-capitalist utopia! You’d never catch Commander Riker plunking space quarters into a replicator, and you know that guy loves a good cream soda.
Control Resonant
These Limu soda machines, previously seen in Alan Wake 2, return to light up the night in Control Resonant. Thanks for the screenshot, Wendi!
Meanwhile, this vintage soda machine looks like it could have been sitting in some forgotten corner of the Federal Bureau of Control for decades.
At least I think that’s a soda machine. It seems kinda…flat? Thanks for the screenshot, VonAether!
