A Japanese company recently came out with a new gaming accessory that will only benefit those that are truly addicted to gaming. This is an excellent way to weed out the casual gamers from the hardcore crowd.
Think you are hardcore because you play Halo for the whole weekend, taking breaks only to eat, use the bathroom, and catch the occasional nap? Well I have news for you. If you are stopping your game to eat, you are a n00b. You heard me. N00B. True gamers eat while they game. Screw this taking a break business.
Here is something to assist you while you are scarfing down your dinner in the middle of Gulch Wars on Coagulation. It’s a finger food strap on gadget that comes with fork, spoon, and chopstick attachments.
Unfortunately I can’t find a link to the store that sells it or any pricing information. I originally found the article at TFTS. I am pretty sure I only have one reader that is this hardcore anyways, and his name rhymes with brightguysamurai. I’ll work on finding that info for you Mr. Hardcore Gamer.

Only noobs use utensils. Real gamer eat with their hands, i.e. pizza, Cheetos, pizza rolls, microwave burritos, you know, stuff that’s good for you.

I just plunge myself face first into whatever I am eating. Sure, it gets a little messy, but my mom totally cleans up after me.
“Maaaaaa, bathrooommmm”

LOL, I don’t get it…so are you supposed to manipulate the instruments with your fingers to grab the food, or do you just pull them out and use them like regular utensils? Why not just grab a spoon or fork when you get up to get whatever food you’re going to eat?
So far I think the beer helmet seems more conducive to consuming food products while gaming than this.

All i know is that for a product that is coming from Japan, they could have used better hand models XD

It’s very odd. I don’t see it being a real time saver but then again, I try to eat my meals while I am not gaming so I am not the best judge. I am not hardcore like that. LOL … I do finger food snacks if I get hungry while I play.

Psh! Who needs that? I just have someone feed me food while I play! LOL! Y’know, because I have people like that.

thats the stupidest….and awesome-est thing I’ve ever seen!
They should make a really long one, so you can scratch those hard to reach places whilst fragging all those unlucky souls around you.
