  • Bwackv, on 11/02/2007, -6/+74I have to say I was expecting all disgusting junk food. Dugg for putting in hummus.
    • groundctrl, on 11/01/2007, -1/+21Dugg for the phrase "Nuts. .... Most are not so greasy that your equipment will suffer..." :D
    • slashbot, on 11/02/2007, -2/+6hummus rocks

    • Hobbes24, on 11/02/2007, -4/+4i thought it same "humans" for a second, and i liked where that was going...

        • ZombieNinja, on 11/02/2007, -4/+3I luvs me some Vagina WOOT!!!
        • Rayor, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3I think he meant something more along the lines of soylent green.
        • Hobbes24, on 11/02/2007, -2/+3no, but i like the way you think
      • spammishking, on 11/02/2007, -1/+7yes, but it's difficult to eat vagina, and play games at the same time (at least for me)
        • HunterSeeker42, on 11/02/2007, -1/+1Luckily gamers will never have to worry about that conundrum ;)
    • gimlik, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4There better be cake; it better not be a lie.
    • STARTSOMETHING, on 11/02/2007, -0/+1We have alot of fatties on digg
      • incubusnb, on 11/02/2007, -2/+3i'm not fat, gravity just affects me differently
      • incubusnb, on 11/03/2007, -3/+2i'm not fat, gravity just affects me differently
    • BuckyDent, on 11/02/2007, -0/+1i hate hummus
  • GerryBot, on 11/02/2007, -4/+14Now I'm hungry, and miles away from food. :(
    • Twoodge, on 11/07/2007, -0/+23Where the hell are you?
      • DarkSamus, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3jericho ....................................... turnpike
    • Echuta, on 11/07/2007, -0/+9Your definition of food is too narrow. There are plenty of things that will sustain a human.
  • hotdiggity0808, on 11/02/2007, -2/+11Nice looking blog and pics good enough to make anyone hungry! Dugg for Pakora!
  • kyouteki, on 11/02/2007, -1/+39Mmmmmmm. Frozen Pizza, especially those Crispy Pizzas that are like 85 cents.
    • Pilot85, on 11/02/2007, -0/+11Cheap as hell but still delicious.
    • Bullsnot, on 11/02/2007, -0/+5I wouldnt call those Totinos delicious, but darn good enough for the price.
    • Gryffydd, on 11/02/2007, -0/+5I prefer those to most other frozen pizzas because they not so overwhelmingly drippy-greasy-cheesy. Plus they're *cheap*
    • joegibes, on 11/02/2007, -2/+1I could spend like $5 and get a delicious pizza from work or $3 and get 3 also delicious pizzas from Wal-Mart.
      • Quag, on 11/02/2007, -2/+1Sweet.
      • Quag, on 11/02/2007, -2/+1All that I wanted to do was post a nonsensical one word reply to some kid bragging about buying pizza from big box stores and the comment system gives me a double post. Sweet.
  • izzybr, on 11/02/2007, -19/+3Hellgate - I haven't read any reviews or anything, but it's new.
    Halo? Ok, presumably they're talking about Halo III.
    NBA2k6 - WTF??? 2006? Seriously??
    • kyouteki, on 11/02/2007, -0/+7NBA2K6 - The loser's gateway to easy Achievement points since...well, 2006.
  • SilentJay74, on 11/01/2007, -10/+4WTF? No Cheeze Wiz shots from the can?
    • MASTERPL, on 11/02/2007, -0/+8You modeled for that WOW SouthPark Episode didn't ya?
  • AwakeningAZ, on 11/03/2007, -4/+37Ridiculous list. LIst only needs 2 things: Super Greasy Pizza and Mountain Dew
  • trane262, on 11/02/2007, -15/+8Why would you Digg this?
    • SilentJay74, on 11/03/2007, -3/+11Because it hits home for us gamers. We all have a Halo or WOW menu. You must be a gamer N00b if you have no menu.
  • Skizzik, on 11/02/2007, -9/+7WTFBBQ no mountain dew
    • Urusai, on 11/03/2007, -0/+10Dew isn't a snack, it's fuel.
    • yarukizero, on 11/02/2007, -2/+2And some of us medically can't handle that amount of caffeine and sugar.
  • BritishGolgo13, on 11/01/2007, -4/+4Dugg for sushi, but I doubt you can run out at 2am and buy some.
    • Bridea, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1Harris Teeter is 24hour
    • ZombieNinja, on 11/02/2007, -3/+1Undugg for Sushi, Chk and Mate

      PIZZA & BEER RULE the Night !!!!!
    • yarukizero, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1Dim Sum even more so. At least in my area the places that sell it for takeout run out by noon. (But damn those sweet buns are good...)
    • climbon321, on 11/02/2007, -0/+17-11 sells sushi. what doesn't kill you...
  • adoggz, on 11/03/2007, -1/+61I don't see "tears of other gamers who have been soundly trounced upon repeatedly" on the list. That's what keeps me going.
  • antiver, on 11/02/2007, -2/+64Possibly the most relevant article on digg ever.
  • STARTSOMETHING, on 11/02/2007, -13/+5Yeah, just what America needs. More food!

      • kyouteki, on 11/02/2007, -0/+12Quite a different kind of speed run.
    • Gryffydd, on 11/02/2007, -0/+5Anybody ever watch Jim Gaffigan's take on Hot Pockets?
      • SR388, on 11/02/2007, -1/+4Diarrhea Pocket!
      • melonhedd, on 11/02/2007, -4/+0Totally man! That guy is hilarious!!!!































        Who?
      • filefly, on 11/03/2007, -0/+4"Now they have the vegetarian Hot Pocket, for those of us who don't want to eat meat, but still want diarrhea."
    • Buddhist, on 11/02/2007, -0/+4MOM, BATHROOM!
  • Ghoztt, on 11/02/2007, -0/+14Trailmix for the win :]
  • JamesMorris, on 11/02/2007, -7/+12Agreed buried, here's a better list.
    Beer
    Hot Dogs.
    • GuyeNoir, on 11/02/2007, -3/+6Alcohol negatively affects one's judgment and slows reflexes. Definitely a bad idea for gaming. Unless the game in question is Guitar Hero or Wii boxing
      • Frei, on 11/06/2007, -1/+3"Alcohol negatively affects one's judgment and slows reflexes."

        That's the point. And it tastes so good.
        • yarukizero, on 11/07/2007, -2/+3I'm sure I'll get dug down for this, but, beer tastes good? Seriously? Yuck.
          • DarkSamus, on 11/06/2007, -1/+5***** you and ***** you, guinness owns
    • ZombieNinja, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3And More Beer, and Pizza then more BEER (and maybe a Calzone)
  • SilverBack101, on 11/07/2007, -1/+24Mmmm. 64 slices of American Cheese.
  • chris9902, on 11/02/2007, -1/+10I thought this was just going to be a list of phone numbers and red bull.
  • spiffs, on 11/01/2007, -0/+6sunflower seeds, good stuff
    • H080J03, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2to much work unless you get the deshelled kind.
  • Wohmfg, on 11/01/2007, -3/+1Awesome, nice site too
  • MASTERPL, on 11/02/2007, -1/+18I'm just happy Gummy Bears received the credit they deserve!
  • owenleej, on 11/02/2007, -2/+17I am impressed by the addition of healthy stuff in this list. Less fat people is always a good thing.
    • RxDaniel, on 11/01/2007, -1/+1No it's not. You become more attractive by comparison if everyone around you is a fatty.
    • moraldebate, on 11/02/2007, -0/+1I applaud being healthy as much as anyone, but you sound like the anti-fat Hitler.
  • sebaparicio, on 11/01/2007, -3/+3My favorite: swiss cheese, lettuce, and mustard sandwich. To drink: hot chocolate.
  • Hoogs, on 11/02/2007, -1/+7I'll take a Monster, beef jerky, and gummy bears please.
  • AVDweeb, on 11/02/2007, -1/+9the most comprehensive guide to late night munchies... dugg.
  • robphillips, on 11/03/2007, -1/+61dugg for everything being on 1 page
    • Hoogs, on 11/02/2007, -1/+5Amen to that.
    • kyouteki, on 11/02/2007, -0/+10Agreed - I'm tired of blogs and other sites forcing us to gobble in page after page of ads to read a simple Top X list.
  • 1773nium, on 11/02/2007, -3/+15NBA 2K6?!
    • leif77, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1i'm not even a gamer and i did a double take at that one... thought i was the only one.
  • LocDawg, on 11/02/2007, -0/+7Article needs more delicious caked!
  • ipxodi, on 11/02/2007, -1/+3Where's the Peptide cake? (with mint frosting.)
    • MV559er, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2Data is cutting a piece from Deanna's right shoulder as we speak.
      • Rayor, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2I caught that episode when my mom was watching it when I was little. It freaked me out big time.
  • neutrascrub, on 11/02/2007, -0/+6they lost me after 13
  • phenolholic, on 11/02/2007, -5/+2midnight foods that get you fat. hey, atleast you'll beat the big boss of level 5
  • pizzahut4life, on 11/02/2007, -11/+5Best snack. Your mom.
  • jtbndy, on 11/07/2007, -2/+11WTF.... Salmon bites? Are they ***** serious?
  • enr1x, on 11/02/2007, -3/+2IMHO, Snickers has a good balance, because it's tasteful, has chocolate and peanuts+honey. It's definitely my fave snack! Unfortunately it's bad for the skin... Plus you can eat in in 20 seconds!
    • Philter, on 11/02/2007, -0/+4Last I checked Snickers wasn't a very balanced food nutritionally. 90% of the "energy" content comes from fats and sugars, and it has very little protein from the peanuts. Source: http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-C00001-01c21Q5. ... I don't think there's honey in it either I think that's supposed to caramel, which is just more sugar. But I could be wrong I haven't had one in a few years.
    • RxDaniel, on 11/02/2007, -0/+4Snickers have honey?
  • postalblowfish7, on 11/02/2007, -5/+4Hellgate? NBA2K6? wtf?
  • Zalo81, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4dugg for link to energy drink reviews page, an awful looking site that needs a redesign but its very useful
  • Spikeli27, on 11/01/2007, -0/+2energy drink flavors for gamers? what would that be?
    • DarkSamus, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1the nintendo store has a mario power up drink, that ***** is expensive though, like 4-5 bucks
    • TehSoM, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1GameFuel.
  • treas, on 11/01/2007, -3/+4Where's the gogurt?
  • jtbndy, on 11/01/2007, -1/+5Only energy drink you need. Endorsed by Steven Seagal. http://www.lightningdrink.com/
  • Treshnell, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3I vouch for the salsa, it is perhaps one of the greatest snakes ever created. Home made is the best, but if you can't get that, go for the fresh, refrigerated brands at the grocery store.
    • TehSoM, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2Salsa Snake? Does it dance with you?
  • staticblake, on 11/02/2007, -3/+2Buried for not including purple skittles.
  • GiJoeBob, on 11/01/2007, -1/+2All night gaming = chips and Mt. Dew. These people are fooling themselves.
  • wedges, on 11/02/2007, -3/+21"23 Snacks for All-Night Crying/Masturbating"
  • bISMARCK102, on 11/02/2007, -10/+1WTF what about fast food 99 value items, or burritos and hot pockets this list sucks!
  • bISMARCK102, on 11/02/2007, -10/+1WTF what about fast food 99 value items, or burritos and hot pockets this list sucks!
  • JD52, on 11/07/2007, -0/+12Soylent Green is PEOPLE!
  • PEMDAS, on 11/03/2007, -0/+13I game exclusively with caviar and champagne.

  • kweeky, on 11/02/2007, -1/+11Decent list. Good variety of food. Dugg for a well-rounded, nutrious yet tasty list.
  • Eastcoastsurfer, on 11/01/2007, -8/+1Taco Bell (insert interrobang). Easily the greatest late night snack out there for LAN parties.
    • bustachops, on 11/02/2007, -0/+1interrobang!?
    • Sprules04, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2Sure, if you like spending most of the night puking out your ass.
