[ViolentP]

I snack on beer.

 

[Hahs]

Nah, it's inappropriate.. eating while gaming

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

No like others said, you got to touch the controller and we ain't trying to get crumbs or grease on it and besides that you got to pause just to eat interrupting the flow. You can wash your hands too, but then that means you have to leave away from the screen and pause it.

With watching a movie you ain't got to touch shit so you're good. Just eat and ain't got to worry about shit.

 

[SprachBrooks]

Only drink really. Unless it’s a chocolate bar.

 

[Rayderism]

My biggest vice is cigarettes. Beat a boss, smoke. Finish a race, smoke. Cutscene, smoke. I always have something to drink around though, whether it be ice water, soda, iced tea, beer. As for munchies.....not really.

 

[Phu]

I usually have a drink but almost never have food. If I want to eat I usually take that as a cue to take a break.

 

[HvySky]

Very rarely. Only time is if it's a very story-heavy game and a long cutscene just started.

 

[Alebrije]

Just Doritos and cookies.

 

[Keyser Soze]

 

[entremet]

Nope.

I get really focused.

 

[gogosox82]

Yes. Just pause the game, eat your food, and wash your hands or use disinfecting wipes when your done eating.

 

[iceblade997]

Yes if the game allows it. Was just playing Persona 5 and eating a few pieces of chicken with a fork in the middle of a cutscene. The only thing is you need to be careful to not spill or drop the food/drink or get the controller dirty but both of those are easy to avoid.

That said I'll obviously avoid eating greasy food that is best eaten with hands (like chicken drumsticks, ribs, etc).

 

[SomTervo]

Rarely, but sometimes.

It's especially awkward at my PC with the keyboard where I'd normally put food/snacks, so on PC I usually just have some water to one side.

On PS4 though, yeah sometimes. Depends what I'm playing. If ever it'll be like a nibbly thing and maybe a drink.

 

[eot]

I might drink tea, but I never eat anything.

 

[Baron Von Beans]

I try to eat before, so I can be fully vested in the game. Otherwise I try to avoid it. If I break up my eating with long pauses between bites, I usually end up no feeling as full as I normally should with the same amount of food

 

[____]

Just beer, never food.

Yeah, this.

I can't eat and game at the same time.

 

[Unaha-Closp]

Sometimes. I am a biscuit fiend - do you Americans call them cookies?? Like all of them?? Anyway I will happily eat biscuits while playing video games. I'll happily eat biscuits any time really. Hence the fiend part

 

[yananana]

I like eating apples while playing, dunno if that counts?

Otherwise I only drink water, or tea.

 

[lowrider007]

Drink yes, food very rarely, don't like to get my controllers or keyboard gunked up with grease or crumbs.

 

[Triforce141]

Yes

Trail Mix with a spoon, eat without getting hands or controller dirty

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Nah, I either pre-game or grab something once I take a break

 

[Nose Master]

All the time. I use utensils, though. Not really getting the greasy hands thing. It's not like every meal is ribs.

 

[Easton Dark]

.

Yes.

Unfortunately the pretzel dust gets all over my keyboard

Worth it

 

[Creaking]

Nope. Usually never find the time with the games I play, and I'd never want to risk nastifying my controllers. When I'm hungry, it's Netflix or YouTube time.

 

[snowsabre93]

Usually I'm just drinking a couple beers or drinking pop/juice or whatever else. I've held too many greasy controls back in the day when friends would crush a bag of chips and not wash up.

 

[LinkSlayer64]

Sure, if the food happens to be greasy, or leaves crumbs, I just USE A NAPKIN.

 

[Hugstable]

No, I would worry too much about getting my controllers dirty

 

[DrunkShogun]

Will only drink when I'm playing. Unless it's metal gear solid which means I can have a 3 course meal during a cutscene.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Not usually. I will drink water or coffee if I am playing something in the morning, but I typically don't allow others to bring food in my man cave so I follow the same rule. It's probably weird but I don't care.

 

[Crayolan]

All the time.

 

[Kaiser Swayze]

Where's that picture of the Cheeto-smeared Xbox controller?

 

[ThatStupidLion]

i dont think ive had a crumb of food in the vicinity of my controllers in like 25 years

 

[XSX]

My biggest vice is cigarettes. Beat a boss, smoke. Finish a race, smoke. Cutscene, smoke. I always have something to drink around though, whether it be ice water, soda, iced tea, beer. As for munchies.....not really.

Dude I'm with you....Cigarettes are ok on 3 occasions in my book: During War, After Sex, and after a Dark Souls boss.

 

[pswii60]

Never. When I'm gaming my hands are busy so no eating.

 

[dragonflys545]

Drinks only.

 

[yananana]

Where's that picture of the Cheeto-smeared Xbox controller?

Yeah I'm surprised it still hasn't show up lol

 

[ornery]

beer

lots of beer

 

[StereoVsn]

Drink - absolutely! Eat - nah, too messy. Do it before, after or take a break.

 

[ScaryShark]

No. It's gross. I don't eat near my computer, while using a tablet or phone and definitely not while gaming. That's what a kitchen or dining room table is for.

I have no idea how someone could eat and use a controller at the same time and be okay with it.

i dont think ive had a crumb of food in the vicinity of my controllers in like 25 years

You're a good person.

 

[TheCthultist]

Typically only dry, non-greasy things. But yeah, I eat while playing quite often actually.

 

[Tom Nook]

 

[Enduin]

Sometimes. Generally I have snacks there but I don't actually eat them as I'm too busy playing the game. I usually then just eat the snacks later when I'm watching a show or movie and my hands aren't preoccupied.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

More importantly, when you do snack...is it cake, or ice cream?

 

[GuitarGuruu]

It depends, sometimes I'll snack on something but usually just a water or something.

 

[Van Bur3n]

No. I just take a break if I want to eat.

 

[chugen]

whisky
maybe some bretzels

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

I'll drink but not eat. I get too into it and forget about my food.

 

[Manny Calavera]

Usually just have a big mug of coffee with me while playing.

 

[MutFox]

Just water most of the time.

 

[///PATRIOT]

I don like touching my controller with sugar or greasy food.

Edit:

This might be a game changer though.

...See what I did there?
