I Need a variety of tunes while playing. I like anything from ancient hard rock,classic funk, alternate,punk, tech-no racer. Old linkin park,& nickleback, seems to find it's way into play-lists some how?Oh and Weird Al !!!! JUST EAT IT!!LOL, sad though.....

I am over 21 years old twice now,so I can let you know my beverage of choice for me is"Ice Cold Beer" So cold, might crack yer teeth! burp!!! Not more than a couple mind ya, and it can't be inexpensive beer, if your limiting yourself, don't limit the quality, right?

Now if I was going somewhere (never drink & drive fellas), I'll take an triple shot(espresso) iced vanilla mocha. Using fresh ground beans, "real" liquid heavy cream, real vanilla, dutch chocolate powder, agave syrup.

I have to go with Tim's Cascade Chips, Jalapeño. But here is the trick if ya don't want oily keypad/joystick/mouse.. Put in a bowl and use chopsticks..great for reading too. If you can't use chopsticks, practice with popcorn, it is easy after a bit.


I am open to changing my little rituals, i have not played for years, be will be soon, right?

What are the best NEW and OLD tunes????? Thanks uncle danno

For me, MechWarrior tunes would be crunchy metal, fits the atmosphere of MW for me. Rammstein comes to mind. Iron Maiden, old Mettalica (hey, I'm old lol).

Beverages, I plan to take time off work when MWO is released, so early morning will be coffee, cold beer in the evening. That cycle may end up being reversed if I don't get any sleep for more than 24 hours, hehe.

I usually don't eat when gaming, just gets in the way, for me. Usually take periodic meal breaks.

Rammstein? I'll tube it. Like the hard guitars, but to much vocals of metal artist gets on my nerves after awhile, but then again, so do most vocals.

and as far as the food goes, you might want to rethink your practice. How many times will you be sitting there fr hours, but your playtime is in 15-30 min increments, right? having a bowls of greasy highly salted popcorn (p.s. it is amazing with chocolate drizzled on it), or a bowl of your favorite chips.Have the chopsticks planted ready to use, no dirty fingers, bam snack-then attack! works for me anyhow.

you will need that jolt to keep ya goin. Ever had chocolate covered coffee beans(be very carefull lol.), I love em.

I like the cool ranch, but only if I mix them with the hot doritos, I love the contrast with the cool and hot, kinda like my mech too.

Yeah the Zero has no calories, but since I can't have sugar, it is the best i get :)

Oh, and you always need to have Song 2 by Blur on any playlist.

I usually don't like to eat or drink while playing. Maybe because being full slows down my reflexes. I prefer metal or anime music while playing though.

Food - Chocolate (Minstrels - like M&Ms only larger), Popcorn (salted- with extra salt) plus a supply of Take Away menus on hand

Drink - Coke, Coffee (Filter machine installed next to PC) and a bottle of JD for those 'need to relax' moments

Music - Not much more that can be added - all depends on mech I am in and role I am fulfilling but 3 to add by familiar artists - Foo Fighters - 'All my Life' and 'Low', and Linkin Park - 'Bleed it out'
