What??? You stop playing long enough to eat???
Begone, heathen!!
Agreed. Ramadan
just ended you capitalist infidels!
In any case, since this "game" amounts to
sitting for a number of hours reducing calorie intake so as not to become an even more disgusting pimply-faced, hot-pocket-eating, bedpan-utilizing, bengay-packing introvert that shuns the daylight is crucial.
If you must drink beer: Light Beer. It's light for a reason. Flavor doesn't matter when you're not planning on getting up to complain anyway.
If you must drink soda: Diet Cola. Aspartame may whittle your lifespan away instead of giving you calories, but what popular electronic activity also does that but prevents you from burning them adequately?
If you must consume solid food: Konjac, Full Bars, and Fresh Fruits & Steamed Veggies. Anything with a high nutrient to calorie ratio is a good idea. Anything that is bulky with fewer calories to offset you stuffing your face is a good idea. Zero calorie products like Konjac or Shirakiku noodles means you can satisfy your oral fixation without getting a gluteal fixation to your chair.
If you want to smoke or chew gum: Do so, by all means. Anything to keep garbage from entering your body. Both of these activities are shown to reduce your appetite.
On the subject of caffeine: Like you really need help staying awake to play Civ... DECAF if you really like the taste of stained teeth.
On the subject of 'physical recreation': Anything to help you burn calories. Also, it appears that ***** only has 0.7 kCal! I'd count that as low calorie!
As for myself, I have two cases of extra high-calorie, high-caffeine Code Red M.Dew and since the release date is on a Tuesday, Taco Loco has Taco Tuesday so I'm going to get 3 dozen of those on the cheap, with extra jalapenos. For good measure, I'm stocking the mini-freezer next to my hardware with 4 quarts of Rite Aid ice cream. I'm locking the door to my annex so those pesky postal people can leave my packages at the door, but for emergency's I have a pizza place, a Thai restaurant, and an American restaurant phone number posted on the wall for delivery service. Oh, and my LifeAlert keychain will call the hospital automatically if my heart stops, so that way I can keep playing even if it does.
Enjoy 9/21 crazy comrades of mine!
