Food for the insomniac gamer Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

When a game is too interesting to stop playing. But you get a growling in your stomach. Your hungry ; you havent been to the store in a few days. But your stock of_____ (insert cpu food) is good.




Anything to recommend? Cold Pizza, Pretzels, Jolt/mountain dew come to mind.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

ignore the rumblings and keep playing

cold pizza, sandwiches, anything that you can eat with one hand (while playing with the other) and won't make a big mess if you drop it on your keyboard. i prefer sandwiches, as they don't leave your fingers greasy (so you can play with both hands between bites if necessary) and the crumbs aren't that messy

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

If you're playing a game like Civ3 with large wait times between turns then eating a bowl of cereal becomes very easy. That's what I do. No greasy hands, no spilling on the keyboard because you're waiting between turns and don't have to have at least one hand on the keyboard. A good chair and computer desk is all you need.

Now what does one do when mother nature comes a calling if you know what I mean..................

Spinach or celery, keeps you healthy. A pound of spinach will fill you up and set you back about a hundred calories, a pound of celery will fill you up and set you back about negative-twenty calories. I've never felt better since I started eating pipe-cleaners for my midnight snacks.

Oh yeah, and try Code Red (the new Cherry flavored Mt. Dew).

Peanuts are my snack of choice. Since I gave up smoking the tendency to eat through huge bags of them has become worrying so I try to stick to fruit instead.

Don't forget the godfather of all snacks.

Microwave popcorn.

With the right set-up (microwave close by and a case of corn from the wharehouse store) you'll never have to get up.

things to be wary off: anything messy like soup, ice cream (melts), fruits (juices get on your fingers and thus on the controller)

Cereal, but if I have any drive at all, there is a good chinese take-out place in the same building I live in, and a great deli just across the street.

Hmmm...roast pork lo mein and General Tso's chicken, or a foot long prosciutto, cappicola and provolone sub with lot of veggies and all the extras...decisions, decisions...

I get too engrossed in FPS/RTS (only other genres I really play) to be able to eat food...it's always good to keep Code Red around, though.

Speaking of which, there's this kid on my hall who keeps telling me I like n*gger drinks. God I want to kill him.

I fight the urge to stay glued to my seat, go for a drive to the local shops (only 1 minute away) and buy whatever I feel like. When I get home, I spare no time preparing it.

But for a meal on the fly (such as during a LAN party), I leave my phone to my left on the desk and order a pizza when I get hungry. Of course, the operator on the other end can't understand why I'm so distracted in making my order, as I am still gaming on while talking on the phone.

Has anyone seen ads in computer magazines for those containers you can keep by your side while you're at your computer. They are specifically designed for computer users who don't want to get up from their computers. They can be used by either sex.
