Subject: Do gamers eat faster than other people?

Well, I am currently on the phone with my bestfriend(Kayla) and my boyfriend(Markham), yesterday I had them both over and my mom took us all out to eat. By the time I had finished my first chickern strip, Markham had a whole double cheeseburger eaten. He's the biggest gamer of the 3, so he told us that gamers have to eat fast, because eating is time consuming and you want to get back to the game, so that makes you eat fast even when not meaning to.

Does anyone else agree?

I used to be a slow eater. Now, I finish my meals faster then almost anyone else. I'm skinny, but I eat a lot. Like, very much. I don't understand how people could skip breakfasts. I get hungry at about 11, even after eating big breakfast at 7:30. I think this speediness started sometime after Halo....

I'm a fast eater/drinker. I finish meals in no time, and I'll finish a soda the second time I brink it up to my mouth.

Your boyfriend is a very wise man. I always rush eating my food when Im playing games, so that I can get back to them. Unless its take away of some sort, then I take my time and enjoy it.

Sounds like a heart attack.

I eat fast because it's pretty pointless to waste time eating something slow. Whenever I go out with my family, I'm usually bored because no one else is finished. Talking isn't that much fun either, most of the times.

i eat fast most of the time too

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I eat pretty slow. Im usually the last one done at my friends houses. I used to be a lot bigger of a gamer then I am now. I hardly ever use my computer except for homework, AIM, and internet whereas it used to be 99% for age of mythology and titans. Now ill play the occasional game of halo, but im pretty preoccupied.

Oh. Im default, and I like chocolate milk.

i eat fast too but i think it comes more from being in a large family. you had to eat fast if you wanted seconds on the good stuff.

Oh Markham, I think you're wise. You're freakishly awesome with everything.
:-p

Maybe I should practice fast eating. I do sometimes, but sometimes I don't.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Faster eating= More kills in Halo MP.

I think he's right. I'm a pretty big gamer, and I finish all my meals much faster than my family or friends. Faster eating does come at a price though. You have to wait for your buddies to finish before the firefights on Halo resume.
