Things that taste good while playing SEIV
 
Ok admit it, you break the cardinal rule and eat at your computer while playing SEIV don't you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Well I am certainly no exception, most of the crumbs in my key board have come from many hours of non stop SEIV. (Especially recently with the three gameathons I have been playing in.)

I discovered during my gaming / eating time, that certain things seem to taste better when I am playing. Green olives, tea, and peanuts.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Pizza, chips and others seem less enjoyable and I don't eat them. Besides the oil mess up my keys.

Has any one else taken note of this phenomenon?

I vote for Chips, Cheeze Doodles, and BBQ Party mix (Doritos), and a nice cup of tea or the occasional soda.

..Can you say Crunch? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

P.S. Crunching into a big chip when destroying a planet helps with the sound effects too.

Playing SE4 does not require food. It however very important to have a beverage while playing. Beer or wine for those evening games and a coffee for those morning turns.

i've always thought the 'no food' rule was for amatuers who might actually spill something on the computer. i've eaten all sorts of things in here including greasy stuff and never spilled a thing. you just work the mouse and keyboard with one hand and eat with the other.

Ok. Run, do not walk to the supermarket and get some anise (that's finocchio in italian). It's a celery-like vegetable, with a large white lower stem and a fresh licorice taste. Slice it up, and enjoy, keyboard stays grease free.

When you're away from the keyboard, you can try dipping in olive oil.
