Alright, so then I shall take it pre-workout.
As for when, I'll try and make sure I take it before meals.

How about the entire with or without food deal? Should I even take that into account, or no?

Take it before workouts with a sugar drink. Carbonated sugar drinks, if of a high GI nature, may enhance its uptake in the digestive tract.
No need to load. I take 5 grams. If I had a low amount of animal flesh in my diet, I'd take 10 grams.
It will not make you fat. The only bloat you might get is from gastrointestinal upset.
It does not cause bloating elsewhere, despite what people say. It is transported into muscle. It draws intracellular water. It does not make a big impact on extracellular water, so claims of loss of definition can be due to some kind of allergic-type reaction or the fact that people eat like crap a lot of the time when their metabolisms are simply not particualrly fast. Then they blame their fat gains on the creatine if that happens.
I've used creatine while bulking and while cutting. When cutting, it makes me appear even more cut because of the cell volumization, which enhances the appearance of my muscles. When bulking, it does the same, but I have fast metabolism. Someone with a slow metabolism will eat to bulk, take creatine, get fatter because he is bulking, and then look to demonize the substance.

You invented a way to waste money...TheOak84 said:i took 20g for 10 days then 15g for 10 days then 10g and so on all the way down to 5g.. i gained 8 pounds and didnt lose any of it when i got off..i think i invented something
The loading phase is NOT bullshit. It has been shown in studies to maximize muscle creatine levels in 5 days. If you only take 5g per day with no loading phase, it takes 30 days to accomplish the same.
There are a couple of threads in the supplements forum on creatine right now. Look there, I don't feel like typing it all again.

I did just that Nate, and it seems like there's a 50% chance of creatine being effective for people. And the bloating in the face doesn't sound too charming at all.
I'm starting to doubt this stuff.

Over a course of 30 days, which costs more? The cycle that includes a loading phase.
If you want the cell volumization to be maximized as soon as possible, then load. If you are looking for the strength increase and increased reconstitution rate of energy molecules, then it won't matter much.
