    How many times have you smeared pizza sauce all over your mouse button

    Sick of having potato chip crumbs fall into cracks of your keyboard like me?

    Are you tired of having food chunks fall outta your mouth and get stuck in between your spacebar and enter key?



    I know I am just tired of it.

    it's really hard when a new mmorpg comes out to power game. I always get hungry and need to eat when i play to maintain my top level character and keep pace with all the other power gamers to maintain my elite status. 



    Sometimes, I have to play 14-18 hours a day to stay above the level curve and it's tough,because that means eating in front of my 'puter while powergaming. And that means no afking(unless you  already have a  bot/or know a good macro to level).



    i almost always eat over my keyboard.

    I am amazed that there isn't a specific style of food made for mmo gamers like us. 

    I think if someone invented a simple malt/liquid type of tasty snack (that tasted like Pizza Hut or Ranch Doritos or Snickers Bars) that could be eaten just by sucking it through a straw ;they would be one really rich inventor.



    Hmmm,idk,maybe you guys know some good foods that you can snack on while you play mmorpgs?

    (besides pudding,or something like soup yuk,or anything that you eat with a spoon,i like to eat with my hands)
    This thread is awesome!!!!

    My Favorites:

    Spaghettios

    Little Debbie Brownies

    Bananas (no apples or oranges...they get your hands sticky sometimes)

    Burger King Chicken Fries

    CORN DOGS...yummm





    No-No:

    Fritos

    Cheetohs

    Potato Chips in general

    Food that may squirt (hot dogs w/o any sort of shell, bratwursts, etc)

    Waffles/Pancakes (I made the mistake of trying this one morning, and unfortunately my failure to acknowledge the presence of gravity led to a sticky mess of maple syrup on my keyboard. It was a DELICIOUS sticky mess.)



    Keep up with a list like this, minus the bananas, and your likely to have some really bad stomach cramping...but hey...it's gaming. It's a sport...

    Between the two Snickers you eat a day and doritos for dinner, you REALLY need to get some decent nutrition.  At this rate, you won't be around to play the next gen of games.



    Not poking fun, just you seriously need to change your habits.  Heart disease and diabetes can't be cured by a healer.
    Well i eat pizza a lot and read that it's healthy for you.Also I grab a lot of Burger King and Wendys Drive Thru and

    I can eat a Whopper in 2 bites (if i am raiding or NEED to exp)

    and for the guy with the banana i usually don't buy that type of food because it dont taste good,but it's a good idea i guess.

    and about the snickers those are just snacks spread way waaay out in my day,not really part of my main meals.

    C'mon none of you guys  have eaten while playing a game before?

    Help a friend out and give some tips and pointers.

    First off, I knew there were people who "powerlevel" and play over 10 hours a day; but this is example is pretty ridiculous.  And I certainly hope this IS in fact a joke, but here goes:



    Ok, Pizza is NOT healthy for you (I'm assuming you bought take-out pizza from Dominoes or Pizza-Hut or some other pizza restaurant chain) unless it's homemade.



    Here is the link for nutrition information on Pizza-Hut: http://www.pizzahut.ca/files/pdf/en/nutrition.pdf



    You can see a slice of pizza ranges from having 80 (that's the veggie one) to 430 Calories.  And the Caesar Salad with dressing & diced chicken is a whopping 1030 Calories.  So not sure where you are reading your facts but try to stay off the pizza.



    Burger King and Wendy's is also very unhealthy, and 2 bites?  That's disgusting.



    Honestly, if you are doing without exercise and eating like that, I guarantee you that you will either become a diabetic or suffer from a heart attack by the age of 30.  I mean is it worth it to trade your life for a high level character?



    If you want to at least eat somewhat healthy and play 14 hours a day (It's not possible to stay healthy and play 14 hours a day), you need supplements.  First, you need to buy vitamins and minerals since you don't like to eat fruits.  And buy healthy snack bars, they're not messy, and they don't get your fingers sticky.  And have a least 1 big salad a day.  A home made salad that is.  Do not buy your salad from Burger King or McDonalds, make your own.  It's relatively simple and they actually taste great, and about the messy factor - well, if you have your salad in a large container and you eat it with a fork, you shouldn't spill anything.  You can easily find a salad recipe from Google.



    As I said before, I HOPE you are joking, but if you aren't, I really feel sorry for you.  Because in the future, you WILL regret playing 14 hours of computer a day.

    You know Jesus didn't eat for 40 day in some desert right? 

     

    40 days, more then you need to reach the level cap in any game these days. 

     

    More seriously; as to peoples saying you "play too much"...well, try to take a few breaks, to take a walk here and there.  Yeah you may lose 2 hours of playing, but the human body do need these breaks (where you can eat at the same time).  Play as much as you want, but take breaks here and there, your body needs them.  As to "regrets" sayers...well, whoever is advising you to do something else is prolly the person who will get regrets about his life anyway.  As long as you wasted your time in a way you enjoy and don't pass opportunities you want to explore...yeah the girl next door want to take a walk to the park with you, might be a good idea to go with her and take that walk you need anyway! 

     

    I see peoples who regret F***ing too much or too little, having too many kids or too little, working too much or too little.  I guess some peoples will regret gaming too much or too little.  At any rate, I feel I didn't do enough gaming in my life atm...check, nearly 6k messages here...I could have played 2 or 3 games instead; easily!

    Who cares about how dirty and oily your keyboard and mouse are? You are going to be unable to play eventually soon enough if you continue eating crap daily every meal. Might as well make the best of time. Forget about tidyness.

    Explain please. 



    A person who wants to stay healthy should get 8 hours of sleep a day.  So, that means you would play 14 hours and then sleep the rest of the 8 hours.  No exercise, no fresh air, nothing.  Unhealthy.  And that is taking the MINIMUM amount he plays, he said he plays 14-18 hours.  If you play 18 hours, that gives you 6 hours to sleep, which is even worse.  Not to mention the huge strain on your eyes and the radiation you're taking in everyday.

    I am currently body building so need to spend alot of time on intakes of protien about 200grams a day I need to bulk up but there is loads of easy foods to keep you going just takes a little research.



    Myself when not at gym or walking my dog or with the misses when playing I eat every 2 hours find myself using protine shakes and beef jerkies as snacks seen as its all the stuff I need in my high protien diet. Hell I have put on about 18 kilos in a month and my gaming and personal time is not even effected by it all.



    Just so you know that is not all I eat only the foods I snack on when gaming :P



    May not sounds healthy but protien > saturates any day :)

    After reading this thread I can't believe how some of you eat - while sitting in front of a computer screen for hours no less. Clean up your diet a bit or you're going to be too fat and lazy to even get up to go buy the next big MMO.

    Whoever plays 10-14 hours a day IS NOT HEALTHY PERIOD!



    No matter WHAT you eat during those 10 hours of inactivity, you are NOT getting anything out of it.



    Any fast food is not healthy, and is quite expensive to boot. Why pay 7$ for a McD meal or 10$ for a PizzaHut?! its not healthy, no matter what you think.



    Be smart, eat healthy, maybe play 3 - 5 hours at the MAX (Kinda like your work hours), and eat at appropriate times (breakfast, lunch, dinner), work out and have fun...



    Playing so much is horrible.

    i dunk my hands in a tub of hershey's chocolate sauce and then put my fists in my mouth.  To keep the keyboard clean, i make sure and smear the leftover chocolate on my bare chest before touching anything.

    The best part is, if you get thirsty, you can drink the chocolate, too.  Its like a combo food/drink.

  • DevalonDevalon Member UncommonPosts: 496
    What game did you play that require so much attention durng meal times? I mean even WoW raiding there are a LOT of downtime.



    Edit: Even when leveling there downtime... resting or traveling are the main downtime.

    Sure it is, firstly, its no more unhealthy then someone who works a desk job all day long.



    At home playing games, I take hour breaks and work out, clean, take the dog out etc... at a job you are stuck there all day long and I am sure a lot of people are too tired to work out or do anything useful.



    When I was working 12 hour day and night shifts I felt like hell all the time and had to force myself to workout.



    While hardcore gaming, you don't sit there 14 hours in a row, you take breaks for naps, food etc.



    I only do this when a new game comes out anyways.



    I bet I am in better shape then most of the people posting here





    Also, you health has a lot to do with your caloric intake. If you eat "bad", but don;t over eat, you're fine.. the only thing missing may be vitamins from fresh veggies. personally I eat really well since i barely eat meat and enjoy a lot of salads.



    Being fat is still possible eating regular foods, its all in quantity. people don't just drop dead from their diet... a lot of people do fine eating MCdonalds.. it pretty much depends on the person.







    Portion control baby! Thats the key!

    food for power gamers i don't know... i would say have your girlfriend feed you(thats how i eat while i play) but if you are a powergamer spending 14 hours a day on the computer i imagine you don't have one.

    other than that i just take breaks to eat, even when i'm gaming all day long lvling up... i enjoy them.

    so i recommend to you not wasting your time trying to be "elite" when all it really means is you waste the most time... its okay to spend a few minutes on yourself instead of some stupid character.



    and as for the post above me he is exactly correct.

    i lost 50 pounds eating junk food half the time, and gaming the rest of it.

    die. <3

    To the OP:

    I hope to whatever god(s) you do/do not worship that you're not serious.  Pizza being healthy is rediculous any way you look at it, unless you use half the normal amount of cheese, and wheat bread.  As for vegetables tasting nasty, well, I can't help you on that.



    Eating a Whopper in two bites makes me want to gag.  There's enough saturated fat in those things to choke a damn horse.



    Hot Pockets are also gnarly for you. 



    If all you do is sit on your lard ass all day, try eating a subway 6 inch veggie sandwich 3 times a day.  It's more than your weakshit body needs, and they taste good too.  Hey, go crazy, get extra cheese, or instead, get the veggie patties.  If you eat it with the wrapper on, you won't lose any out the back and onto your keyboard, you toolbag.



    Am I angry at you?  Yes, because if you're serious then you're a bigger loser than me, and that's a HARD feat to accomplish.



    GET SOME SELF CONTROL MAN.  You're not a slave to the game.  Grow up, get a pair, and excersize some self restraint.



    If you're not serious:



    Funny mate! Good read!



    Cheers,

    Luke

    Huh ? I have always been a hardcore gamer to some extent nothing to do with been a nerd or not. The last bit I did not get :)



    On another note.



    Some people diets here shock me :o But then its not always so bad for some as if they have a good matabalism there going to loose any fat but as they get older they will have to start watching there diet or get insainly big and unhealthy.

    It's not necessarily "good" to lose weight through a diet of soda and m&m's, just like it's not good to lose weight through cocaine and cigs.  While you might be skinnier because you cut down on the excessive amount of garbage you normally eat, you're still not healthy.
