Gaming is serious business these days and many of us spend a lot of time so doing. But there are certain things that we, as players, should be mindful of to keep a healthy balance in life. See what we mean in our latest Pokket Says column and then let us know what you think in the comments.

First off, I want to point out that it is extremely important that you eat properly when you play video games, especially if you play games as often as I do. It can become too cumbersome to have something that requires silverware, so it is better to stick to hand foods (hot pockets, pizza rolls, JIMMY JOHNS, you get the idea). Not only that, but you'll want to make sure it is on a disposable plate. Getting up and going to the kitchen can be quite a pain in the middle of the raid, so it is better to just be able to throw it away.

Pokket, in that quote is the perfect suggestion for your next article.

"How to convince the girlfriend to share the passion for gaming" aka "How to nerdify your gf". I'm sure your insights as a girl could save some of us men countless of those horrible hours of sleeping on the couch after gaming nights or even worse - cuddling to make up!

lol @ casual gamers

Microwave, Keurig Machine, Hot Pockets, K-Cups, a few gallons of water, and wireless headphones for when your bladder is going to explode. You're golden (hopefully not literally)

Healthy lifestyle? I really hope no one thinks sitting in front of a computer for hours on end is healthy. It is fun though and that is what matters in the end.

My wife is in the same boat, but it's Project Runway. Then she'll spend, literally, HOURS on Facebook, Pinterest, and blogs everyday, and still manages to complain about me spending a few hours on the weekends gaming.

I've tried countless things to get her to game with me, but for some people it just isn't, and will never be, an option. As much fun as it would be read an article about the topic, I don't believe there's any way to convince someone to find joy in an activity that doesn't interest them in the least.

The best suggestion I can think of, if gaming with you partner is important to your relationship, is to find and date someone who games in the first place.

Diet Mtn Dew - YES. SO much tastier than regular dew, it's sharper and has a little bite to it. Get used to drinking diet dew and then try a taste of regular to compare them, regular tastes more "round" and dull and lifeless. Diet Dew FTW..!

Except the sugar supplement in diet soda is linked to cancer from prolonged consumption.
