Gaming Snacks

Chris Rah Osiris of Playstation Lifestyle.net writes:

Happy Sunday everyone,

This is a GLA. (Gaming Lifestyle Announcement). Something that I have spent a lot of time doing in my life is studying proper snacks and snacking etiquette for gaming. This is a serious issue. Seriously, the wrong snacking habits can cause damage to your console and accessories. In addition to that, you'll be the bane of gaming nights everywhere. You do not want that, trust me.

Rule #1: Do not eat chips, or any other greasy food.

This is an issue because of the damage that can be done to a controller or console. No one wants their controller to slip out of their hand while playing. No one wants grease ending up inside of their console either. I know this eliminates a lot of snacks, but this rule must be followed. Chip lovers, I suggest you weep now and thank me later.

Rule #2: Do not eat something that will interrupt the game.

This rule is of great importance when you are gaming with someone else. This rule eliminates your ability to eat a steak or anything that takes dedication to eat. I hate when someone pauses Street Fighter so he or she can take a bite of a sandwich. Do not do that. It is rude and annoying. Plus it will earn you the wrath of Ryu. You do not want Ryu angry.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk3d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
