Have you ever been in the middle of a game and thought ‘I’m hungry’ ? Well I know I have and lets face it after 6 hours solid you are bound to need food, so here is my guide to game food.
Xbox:
Halo:
Now ‘Halo’, being the fast paced shooter it is requires energy food but you mustn’t have ‘Urine-inducing’ nutrition oh lordy no, Why? Well its obvious surely? Picture the Scene you are on the final objective in ‘The Maw’ and you are nearly there, enemies al around this requires some real ‘Pad dexterity’, the only thought running through your mind is… ‘God I need the loo!’. Not good is it? No the best food for this kind of gaming must be fairly dehydrated thus I have devised a list of the advised food stuffs:
1. Chocolate- it’s not too hydrated, it has mega energy and best of all ‘It’s chocolate!’
2. Nutri Grain bars- Hey its high in uh stuff! Well it should keep you going.
3. And finally for the truly engrossed: Dried cereal- It is tasty, its dry and best of all its quick and easy.
Splinter Cell:
This is a slower paced game and so requires slightly more complex foods, it can’t disappear as soon as you pop it in your mouth now can it (so that’s butter out of the question- Darn!) This must be a well thought out food plan, hey if you like to be the ‘secret agent’ type you could plan it out (of course you’d have to be the ‘Sad Type’ aswell)
The Foods:
1. Mints- Preferably fisherman’s friend these should last you.
2. Chuppa Chops Lolly- The slightly tastier option these will have a double effect: keep you satisfied and rot you teeth!
3. And so to the final food this shall be: Chewing Gum- Ok so its not food, its rubber and it will loose taste but honestly ‘Who cares?’ we all eat it!
Play Station 2:
GTA:
Ok so despite the game its-self you must fight the urge to steal the food! NO STOP! Ahem good well this needs to be thought out and seeing as you will (after a few hours) see your-self as ‘A hard man’ it cant be caviar! But on the other hand it has to last as you could be up for an all nighter here. So the advised foods are:
1. Candy sticks- OK so in reality they aren’t really tough guy food but since you are only pretending to be ‘Hard’ you can only pretend to smoke. Oh and the fact that they are dirt cheap.
2. Chewing nuts- Like chewing gum they will give you the effect of ‘A tough not bothered hard man’ and they last for hours (or of course pull all of your teeth out)
3. Millions- They come in huge tubs and they last for a while…PERFECT!
Metal Gear Solid 2:
Since this is kind of like splinter cell it is more orientated around the espionage killing but this time it must taste good (as killing in games feels good) thus the foods are:
1. Jelly babies- Oh aren’t they just perfect!? You can bite of their heads put a greenys head on a red one. Oh well that and they taste nice.
2. Jelly tots- Keeping on the jelly theme these tasty treats will not only keep you happy but they will ‘DIE!!’ (for the bond addicts out there)
3. Haribo- Well these get in here not for the taste (not that it is bad) but simply for that annoying kid on the advert so go on next time you eat them imagine its ‘That little punk kid!’
Gamecube:
Now due to the lack of games for the section I had to skip this- Only kidding here you go!
Luigi’s Mansion:
Now although this is a great game its not really scary, but hey lets pretend it is for a moment what should you eat?
1. Haribo Halloween mix- Ok so its Haribo again but, DARN IT TASTES GOOD!
2. Toffee apples- The original Halloween treat!
3. Cuppa soup- …What it is meant to be ‘Halloweenish!’
Super Mario Sunshine:
Oh well there had to be a Mario game really didn’t there! And so there must be food!
1. Chocolate coins: Oh come on! Mario…Coins… Its a classic!
2. Chocolate: Perhaps the cheaper option than coins but its still chocolate.
3. Starburst: Ok its different but for a happy game a happy food is needed!
So there are the foods but next time you play on your beloved console just give a thought for food!
