![]() It was those googly eyes staring into my soul. ![]() While I used meat substitutes, part of me did feel like I was being a little hypocritical calling myself a veggie and eating a fake Bugsnax. One thing that made the whole experiment feel weird, apart from the fact I am creating a sandwich with eyes, is that I am a vegetarian. On another occasion, I also forced my office floor to evacuate because I accidently melted a plastic food container in the communal microwave – there was an investigation and everything to find the culprit. As an example, I once attempted to make beans on toast and forgot to toast the bread. I will give a quick disclaimer, I am not a chef and have as much skill at cooking as a three year old with an Easy-Bake Oven. In an attempt to bring food to life and experience what it would be like to eat a fabled Bugsnax, I recreated a few of them. It is a little weird and I’m sure people would be hesitant to go to a restaurant if they risked walking away with a lasagne for a neck, but it is part of the game’s charm. Anyone that eats one finds they can morph a part of their body into that Bugsnax. These are the oddly cute looking amalgamations of food and animals, well I guess bugs, that fill the whole of Snaktooth Island. Taking centre stage were the Bugsnax themselves. It’s kooky and yet deep story was enjoyed by so many. Maybe that is simply the reason.īugsnax quickly became a beloved gem when it launched last year. Animators spend a lot of time ensuring their images are perfect and do not have to worry about misshapen buns, melted ice-cream or discoloured lettuce. I do not know why drawn food looks so good, but Charles Spence, an expert on gastrophysics, claims we think food tastes better if it looks delicious. I know I am not alone and sure many people watch the cooking in a Studio Ghibli film with saliva dripping down from their mouth, channelling their best Homer Simpson impression, mmm food. ![]() I have often felt that animated food looks tastier than what I imagine it tastes like in the real world. Whether it is Skyrim’s sweet roll, Kingdom Hearts’ sea salt ice cream or Portal’s elusive cake, food often looks positively scrumptious in video games. Video games are filled with a lot of food. ![]()
