Discussion Topic: Sticky Fingers

As I type this my fingers are kinda sticky from eating this morning. While eating I realized keyboards are kinda like a game controller for some people. Then again while I take a moment to grab a bite and click on the read on button to see where this is going.

Most of today's junkfood will make your hands sticky. Yes, I am aware that maybe these are easy snacks to eat. How ever for me sticky snacks hinder my gaming as I hate that feeling on the controller. I will stop during the game to wash my hands before touching the controller again. Sometimes I do forget and clean my controller after my gaming session.

After trying many foods while playing games I found out that most are difficult to eat while gaming. Some of the foods I have tried to eat while gaming are: Ribs, Grilled ham & Cheese, Chips, homemade slushi, pasta and other stuff.

So while you are gaming what are some of the things you like to eat? Do you eat while gaming and if so what do you think about how your controller feels? What do you think of gamers who do eat while they game if you don't eat while you game?

I'm like you, Toby, if there's something on my hands, I wash them. I don't care for sticky controllers. I try not to eat when I'm playing console games, but if it's an RPG I may have some chips available.

@Lance :) I know you wrote that, but I wanted to make a Discussion about it. Sticky controllers are icky, but over all bad for others.

If my hands are sticky from something I wash them, regardless of what I'm up to, as long as they won't get sticky or dirty again as soon as I'm done. My roommate has this awesome ability to completely gunk up mouses, keyboards, screens, controllers and everything else with whatever the fuck is on his hands all the time. It's kinda nasty. His profuse hand-sweat doesn't help matters. Good thing he's awesome.

I can't touch any of my controllers unless they are clean and washed with hot soapy water. I hated growing up and going to friends houses and having to play on their sticky controllers. I don't mind drinking while playing. Mostly water, Gatorade and Jones Soda.

I too avoid having sticky hands but I do have a couple of essentials for my gaming time. They are either peanuts or cashews or crackers with some dips, either hommus or sweet potato
