Eating and gaming make you do two favorite things simultaneously. And whether it’s a LAN party with friends or a solo session at night – snacks without fail elevate the entire experience.
Studies reveal people consume less when playing a game than eating only. Isn’t that great news? But the thing is that engaging in the favorite title does not always mean the possibility of devoting yourself to these two pleasures. Some games require two hands and extraordinary focus, but we found a few that are the exception to this rule! So to all of you trying to balance a kid, a cat, or a giant sandwich in one hand and play with the other – enjoy!
