casual or adventure games ... when it gets challenging, I snack all the time ... crackers & cheese, apples, bagels and peanut butter, rice cake and hobnobs

this has to stop ... I'm gaining weight... either the eating or the playing has to stop ... I haven't decided which

does anyone else do this?

No, not too often, I am not a snacker, I love full meals and those are usually done at the table with family. You should see my sons keyboard and what he consumes while on the computer or playing Xbox. It's amazing.

I never eat food at my computer, but I do have drinks.

Idon't eat but I chew gum.

I occasionally have a sandwich. I usually have a drink.

If anything it is a drink--usually a bottle of water

Yes, I eat snacks and like Menahune, I tend to gain weight if I have a lot of games to play. but I try to take a walk between game chapters. Also, I try to eat fruit, but my desire is for chocolate! LOL

What are hobnobs? A Canadian delicacy perhaps?

Absolutely have to; otherwise wouldn't have the strength to keep on gamin'.

I actually stop eating in the dining room a long time ago. I know eat all my meals in front of my PC while playing, browsing the web or watching a movie
There is not enough time...

I eat and drink all the time when the situation allows it. But only healthy stuff.

Hi-

I am not much of a snacker, but I generally have a glass of ice tea.

I don't like crumby keyboards or sticky mice.
So I never eat anything that's going to get on my fingers while using the computer. Sometimes I have breakfast or some other meal while using the computer though -- if it's something like a bowl of cereal or a bowl of soup that doesn't involve sticky or greasy fingers.

They're cookies/biscuits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HobNob

I don't usually eat while playing.

If I'm hungry, I'll eat. But I'll eat in front of the screen.

Drives the wife crazy though

I won't eat meals in front of the screen but I'll have some sort of snack once in a while *glances down at the bag of pretzels on the desk*. I almost always have a drink with me - usually a bottle of water but sometimes something a little more "adult".

Gotta have my coffee when I play early in the morning! No food though.

fortunately, the food's on another floor, or i probably would eat in front of the computer, just too lazy to go get something

I eat more often then I should while I am at my PC. I try and keep messy eats away from it. But when I really get into a game and get hungry I just grab what I can and take it back to the PC. Iam always worried of spilling something on my keyboard, so I keep liquids away from it and use bottle water so I can place the lid back on after each drink.

Maybe... By 'eating', do you mean, like, real food, or, like...Belgian chocolate...?

I don't eat on my computer anymore, don't want to make a mess of my computer or mouse, etc.

I do drink at the computer all the time, but I keep the drink away, on a separate table, that is at a different level than the keyboard, so it can't spill on it.

I have a wooden pull-out shelf that was designed to hold the keyboard but I use it as my table. I live alone and eat all my meals and snacks at the computer - usually playing a game, reading email, blogging or surfing. I have been doing it for years - and really enjoying it (only down side - sometimes during a really good game my food can get a little cold - LOL).

I'm with you Gerry----My two favorite things---coffee and computer.

Yes I do eat while I'm playing games. I use a laptop which is always on my lap so my chips or whatever is sitting beside me on the couch. Kinda makes for a greasy keyboard though...LOL
