If they are releasing food and drinks to "increase performance" in games, I wonder when professional gamers will start taking steroids, some people are that stupid
Never steroids. We don't need strength. We need speed (for our reaction time), so what better to take then... well... Speed.


If people can't tell I'm being cynical, I'll spell it out. I'm being cynical.
Don't underestimate the power of a few greenies during an all-night gaming session. While I don't advocate drug use now, I held quite a different opinion 15 years ago when I was in high school. Speed + vintage power metal + shmup = pwnage, even if the long-term effects were more than a little bit not worth it.

I'm impressed at Malygris' eagerness to try the Gamer Grub. A news Reporter and poison tester rolled into one, I am impressed.

I might buy these things once to see if they actually taste nice. And then never eat them again.

There are a lot of physical aspects to gaming, especially in the current culture. I will note that the most successful and dedicated professional gamers have a dedicated routine to manage their physical health and endurance as part of their careers.

This product is a money grabber though. It is a snack food, and from my reviews of the product, it is not a healthy energy booster (high calorie, fat, and salt content) it is something else to jam into your face while gaming leading to weight gain.

The only marketable point of this product as a "gamer" product is the low grease / crumb count to keep your controllers clean. I challenge the lack of crumbs, I think that is crap, a dry product has to crumble to some degree.

The sad funny thing is that your representation might not actually be too far off

If Gamer Grub actually turns out to be good, I'll eat my own face. Or I'll say, "Well, it looks like I was wrong and that you can make a good snack, regardless of how disasterous the advertising pitch is."

OMG GAMER GRUB! STRATEGY CHOCOLATE?!

I can only think of one thing more AWESOME than this.


Imagine if you ate ACTION WASABI during that, then you could jump down the sharks throat, trigger a quicktime event, and then rip out through it's inards!

What the hell...

Is the stereotype that we gamers never leave our chairs so strong that they've concocted a new form of nourishment that allows us to simply pour, barely chew and swallow enough times to keep ourselves from dying of starvation?

This saddens me.

The fools! Do they not see what they've done? If all the gamers steadly start eating this insted of other snacks then gamers will actually start to get healthier. Being healthier will give them more energy, and more energy means they are more likely to get off their butts and go do something. We all must band together and take down this evil snack before it destroys us all!

If you have any spares, could you send some strategy chocolate to me?

PM for address.

Express mail.

Chocolate.
