I still say they should just have a system to inject the food into their bloodstream, and their chair should be a reclining leather toilet. Make love, not Warcraft all over again. Epic Immortal Being, how can you kill that which has no life?
Mostly due to the fact that they are inventing games for people who are terrible at them, honestly Halo was not hard (in fact, most console FPS games are hilariously easy... like war sims that replenish your HP fully when you sit still for 15 seconds, GO PLAY STALKER), and don't even get me started on the pointless stupidity of mastering muscle memory rhythm games like rockband (though I am fine with non-muscle memory games like rhythm tengoku). Face it, most mainstream games are re-marketed and the difficulty bludgeoned with a noobstick until the labels and devs can sap the money of parents of the little 13-15 year old noobs calling noobs noobs.

Why is it so hard to eat normally? There are only a few things to remember, like * Vegetables and fruit are generally good for you * Bread/cereals/whatnot are too, in moderation * Anything that has obviously high sugar, fat, or salt (as in you can taste it) is not (except in small quantities) * You don't need much meat a day * You probably only need as much as will reasonably fit on your plate * Have a glass to drink every 2-3 hours or so ... No-one ever said you had to spend that much time eating... and anyway, the occasional break does you good... it's easier to focus (and thus play properly) if you aren't tired all the time. Of course, people like me who have to do something at least resembling work can probably never understand such a psyche.
I think that poor life choices should drastically lower people's sperm and egg potency, and good choices minutely heighten them. Natural selection does not work in today's society, and genetic superiority is no longer the judge of a good person. Though, I do think that people should start drifting into community based lifestyles... if you've never fed chickens they shouldn't feed you, ect. Spending most of my life in the city though it's a treat to have such experiences, though a month ago I did make a mean blackberry pie with some wilds growing near me.
The fact that the food exists, is an insult to all gamers, I think. I'm just as disgusted as everyone else.
actually, i tried this stuff in "beta" form (pizza & wasabi flavored), and... it's good. it's basically trail mix. sure, it's a lazy way of eating, but i will say as a pure snack food, it's tasty.
I got a sample bag of each flavor of this stuff. All i have to say is that it's good as *#$%. Dont knock it till you try it.
Anal sepository? Um, no thanks.lmao, just thinking of MAD TV where they shoved a turkey dinner up their asses. Plik, are you serious bro? But in all seriousness, if I need some food, I'll order some take out.
It's hard enough to stay in shape as it is. It seems like they are just another form of chips/nuts and not a liquid like the headline says. I think they should have ran with "Because Playing Games Doesn't Repulse Women Enough" instead to avoid some confusion. I'm sure it will taste good just like any other non-nutritional food will.
Man, i used to be a 235-240lb football stud, but after 30, lawl!!! It's hard to keep it in check. It will turn into flab guys. Keep it in check younger people.
Snacks aka high calorie low nutrient food, processed carbs, high glucose corn products... they provide large calorie intake while lowering their digestive time, which in turn aids mental exhaustion and replaces your need for sleep with calorie surplus. Since high glucose corn products act both as a sugar and a preservative it makes sense that a "gamer" would benefit from having snacks and other foods bad for you around during extended sessions. But, like most things, there's a pretty clear line between use and abuse of an activity (at least for people still on the use side of the line, and even more clear on someone both informed and unbiased... rare as it is) and it's pretty clear that if you need to sacrifice health for games, you also need to spend a week doing volunteer work in Africa.
QFT. This sort of makes me not want to be a gamer anymore lol. Jk, it'll take a lot more than some manufacturing company (thats right, NOT a food company) making food for those nerds that are morbidly obese and dont move from their computer chair. But still, the thought of it hurts my soul a bit.
well, penny arcade trashed the shit out of it, so it's dead. i wish they sold it as "flavored pita chips" or "flavored trail mix", and then well... if the price was right i'd buy it. in any event, clearly their marketing has failed. http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/10/3/ maybe 8 year olds will fall for it like i fell for corn nuts in 4th grade...
