    Each year around E3, I tend to buy myself a few snacks I wouldn't otherwise buy for fear of a heart attack. One E3 staple are my Barking Dogs - grilled hot dogs wrapped in cheese slices and Ro-Tell, stuffed in a tortilla like a burrito with the ends wrapped, and grilled on a Foreman until nice and browned. Any particular foods you enjoy during the shows? Thinking this year I might change it up, but I haven't settled on something good yet. Maybe pinwheels. We'll see!

    Like...some pretzel sticks and water? Maybe some cheese dip if I'm feeling saucy.

    Its all about grazing for me cause it keeps me awake for the full twelve hours from midnight to midday. Usually I get coffee and biscuits, and some cheap ass tinned food.

    For me its yogurt, jasmine tea and some fruits. I like ti keep it light so I can stay away longer. This year I will have some homemade kimchi to add to the mix.

    Here it's called beer sausage, but imagine a really slim salami stick in various flavors. Either sugar free soda or a couple of alcohol free beers (because it's work week), maybe some energy drinks. Might make nachos or quesedillas. Or maybe I'll stay healthy and do none of those things and keep to tea, water and protein yoghurt with almonds and berries.

    But I eat garbage so often that E3 isn't really anything special there.

    Funnily enough I was also thinking pinwheels, as well as small steak fajitas and of course my favorite soda called Diet Dr Pepper

    @dinosaurcanada: Diet Dr. Pepper's among my favorites. Kinda prefer Dr. Pepper Ten, but good luck finding that in most stores around here.

    @dinosaurcanada: I hate that those commercials essentially ruined what was a great soda.

    I bought some DiGiorno's tonight. I'm looking forward to that being in me.

    One of my strongest memories from the first year I watched Giant Bomb's E3 nightly live show (2009 or 2010, I think) is hearing Ryan's laugh while I ate three bowls of mashed potatoes. I don't know why I ate that much, but I did, and now whenever I think about Ryan a potato-y taste envelops my throat. Maybe I'll eat some mashed potato for old times sake.

    I make a foot long sandwich with six kinds of deli meat, three cheeses, pickles, tomatoes, artichokes, stone ground mustard and a cream cheese based spread to hold it together. Side of chilled celery. Wash it down with Crown Royal and Dr. Pepper.

    For the morning streams: either a bowl of cereal or some waffles (usually blueberry or buttermilk)

    For the afternoon streams: pizza roles or a hotdog/sandwich thing or some chips with queso

    For the night show stuff: Some takeout or microwaved pasta w/ sauce

    Got some Cherry Coke Zero to go with it

    @sparky_buzzsaw: That sounds amazing btw

    I like E3 a lot, but it never occurred to me to treat it like the Super bowl with snacks and such.

    Trail mix. You can just grab a handful and it's usually pretty healthy.
