Gaming Snacks / Rituals

Hey All,

What do you snack on during a good gaming session? And do you have any rituals, like listening to music, playing with no pants on... etc...

I like crisps / peanut m&m's as a snack with Cherry Coke as liquid refreshment!

In terms of rituals, depending on the game i do like some background tunes playing or a dvd; but love to play in boxers and tee - uber comfy

Background tunes sometimes but to be honest I dont drink/eat at all when playing games lol

i didnt mean so much casual, but when you have one of them days/nights were you just do nothing but game for hours!

I barely play an hour a week at the moment, but am tempted by a few hours behind a new game, just thinking about snacks and what not

Normally when on xbox live i join a part with mates and prob join what they are playing. I dont tend to have music on during cod4 for example as its off putting and gives me a disadvantage as i cant hear the ambient sounds aswell. Dont tend to eat or drink that much during sessions, but if i want my A-game i game during the daytime to get the best connetion, drink some coffee, have an orange lucozade and some haribos and im onto a winner!! I may just wear my boxers for ease and comfort as i sweat an unusual amount dueing gaming, strange as im not really a sweaty person.

When playing rts games I spam hotkeys early in the game to keep me in the right rhythm for micro/macro later on.

RoachycaL · 12 Dec 2008 at 23:37

If its a full night of gaming sometimes I'll have music streaming - If I dont need to hear the game that is

However I find music very offputting at times, and I usually pig out on any junk food I can get my hands on when playing games (except GH)

My only ritual would be opening the window when playing music games as it can be quite strenuous

Pringles rice Salt&Vinegar + plenty of Dr Pepper ZERO

I keep my energy levels up by regularly feasting on the tears of the fools I beat down on Call of Duty.

Don't really snack on much when doing an intense session but always good to have pringles and wispas at the ready

This... and munch.

Unfortunately, now I'm Tee-Total, some Petermaans, water, Biscuits (hobnobs preferably), Crisps and takeaway, is the way forward.

Music when playing World of Warcraft, it's the only way to play the game.

ojste · 13 Dec 2008 at 03:52

don't really have any rituals, i might put on some background music if im playing online or something and but thats about it.

food + controllers = bad

If it's an evening I usually have a few bottles of beer to hand and some crisps. During the day just my gigantic cup of tea, yum.

Sareth · 13 Dec 2008 at 09:25

Beer and giant slippers.

Nothing really.

Sometimes I'll have a cuppa sitting there whilst I enjoy a 360 game.
