Now this is odd. I’ve heard of energy bars and drinks “designed” specifically with gamers in mind, but food? Isn’t that called pizza?
Not according to Gamer Grub which just announced that they have been named the official snack supplier of the World Cyber Games USA 2008. That means they will be providing their brand of snack-things to the players in the Tournament Area and Player Lounge at E for All in LA this week.
Gamer Grub comes in three (atrocious) flavors:
By their powers combined, they are Captain Sitting Around In A Chair! Five of the country’s “legendary” names in gaming are converging on the E for All Expo in the name of ending hunger, once and for a little while! Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, Billy Mitchell, Justin Wong, Todd Rogers and TriForce will be taking on all comers at E for All next weekend, with the price of admission being one perishable food item to be donated to the Los Angeles Food Bank for the upcoming holiday season. Each gamer is playing a specific game – FatalONEty has Doom 4, Billy “Hot Sauce” Mitchell on Donkey Kong, Justin Wong is rocking Marvel VS. Capcom 2, Todd Rogers will be on Gorf (hell yeah), and finally TriForce takes it tiny with Tetris DS.
It’s actually a pretty sweet thing they’re doing here, so if you’re planning on attending E For All, bring along some canned food, and not the generic crap. It’s for the holidays, dammit. Hit the jump for more info.
