What kind of idiot falls for video game cross promotions on things they don't already buy? This one. I'd weigh twenty pounds less if it weren't for this shit and I'd probably be able to ties my shoes without having to fully exhale when bending over. (tubby people will get that)
There was a time when the 8-bit crew all shacked up in the same apartment. I'm not sure if "shacked up" always has a sexual connotation, either way, it doesn't matter I suppose. Three twenty-four year old-overweight-alcoholic-gamers living under one roof isn't what you would expect...it's much worse. When Mellow Yellow released the Halo version of gamer fuel is when we hit rock bottom. The drink was terrible but since it had Master Chief on it we bought it every time a case went empty. The problem is we didn't drink it, instead, we had an apartment full of Gamer Fuel cans with one sip taken out of them.
The next time I found myself falling into a gaming inspired consumer breakdown was Destiny Redbull. These were a dumb purchase for a lot of reasons. All you got was free XP which I had plenty of and heart attacks which I was also all full up on. It didn't stop me though, I bought can after can only to find the codes I didn't need having already been used, probably by the Sweaty with the crappy mustache on the can. Surely I had learned my lesson.
I had not. With the new Sea Of Thieves Chips Ahoy, I've gon and scheduled an appointment with my primary care physician. I'm really hoping to get the inevitable diabetes under control as fast as possible. I usually avoid buying these things because I can eat an entire box in one sitting...not even a long sitting, sometimes before I have even sat down. I walk from the kitchen to the couch, look down and the cookies are gone.
I pray that the next Game I love has a deal with Nike or REI that way maybe I'll see what the outdoors are like.
