Ya, I'm worried that I may accidentally pick up something meant for body builders trying to gain muscle mass as I have zero knowledge in this area. I just remember years ago trying some kind of Slim Fast milkshake drink that someone was on and really enjoying the taste, and thought that it might help alleviate this annoying routine of trying to plan a days meals the night before if I could knock out a meal or two with just a bar/can of liquid.

Why would you be worried about that? Nutrition is nutrition.

you should plan your meals and bring them with you. A bar or slimfast shake never makes up for actual food.

It's my understanding that certain ones have extra ingredients that are supposed to help build muscle mass and/or give you extra energy that if you don't burn up by doing a serious workout turns to fat really quickly; and in large amounts. As for meal planning, I would like to do something like that, but I don't buy the groceries in the house and have no say in what does/doesn't get bought so it's hard to plan around food that may or may not be there when you go for it. Plus I'm a picky eater.

ensure would be alright... Just be careful about eating something with tons of calories that will.. yes, fill you up, but then also weigh you down later.

Maybe have an ensure with a piece of fruit? Like a banana or apple. That would probably do the trick.

Can I choose to pick neither because neither one appeals to me in the slightest bit?

To provide a little context, would you offer an example of a game that would appeal to you? Is it a genre thing, or something else?

I'm not interested in Uncharted 3 because I hate playing shooters with controllers as I always feel like I spend more time fighting the controller to make it do what I want it to then fighting the enemies on screen. As for Arkham City, it just looks like more of the same from the first game and I found the first extremely repetitive because of the combat. I wish it was more of a Stealth Action game and less mindless brawler. Plus I despise with every fibre of my being backtracking, and if it's anything like the first one that's all the games level design will be. That said I do enjoy the story of the game, so when Steam puts it on sale for $5 I may pick it up. So I guess Batman wins? Though that DLC shit they are pulling is fucking revolting and a cancer on this industry.

As for examples of what I am looking forward to, off the top of my head they would be: Skyrim, Saints Row 3, Stronghold 3, Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter, Dungeon Defenders and The Old Republic.

Can I choose to pick neither because neither one appeals to me in the slightest bit?

Due to weird hours at work I find myself in need of a meal replacement bar/drink and I was wondering if anyone could recommend something that they have tried and found to be good, relatively cheap, and doesn't leave them feeling hungry a few hours later. Because of the hours I'm going to be keeping at work I'm going to end up sleeping through breakfast, have a few hours to eat dinner/get ready for work, and will be eating supper at work.

If I win the lotto I will buy it day one, other wise I will wait for the price drop, redesign, and a stable of at least 4-5 games that I can't play on my PC.

I never have money to organize it, but the few times I do I always keep it ordered by colour. When I need to go fishing for a bill I don't want to have to hunt around to find it. I go from smallest denomination facing the inside of the wallet back. So when I open my wallet and look in it's always blue, purple, green, red, brown.

As I'm sure it will be said many times, just keep doing it and you will improve. As bad as my writing is now it was god dam atrocious when I started posting online, and now it's somewhat passable. It got better for me by writing constantly, most of the posts that make up that post count next to my name were paragraphs/pages and not sentences, and it started when I decided I wanted to write reviews over at Anime Vice. Sadly shortly after starting to really get into it Whiskey killed the site and that passion kind of died with it, but I did get a desire to improve my writing and I noticed that if you want to be taken seriously when trying to argue any point online it helps if people can read it.

Zero interest, and I predict it will flop hard. Hopefully enough that Nintendo drops out of the Hardware market and becomes a third party developers/publisher.
