And then, there is the gaming system mod master who designs a way to eat a Hot Pocket, hands-free, while playing Xbox. Benjamin Heckendorn (better known as "Ben Heck") is a man beloved in the gaming world for his modding feats, like putting a brand new Xbox 360 in a laptop, or combining an old Atari with an original Nintendo in a handheld device. His newest project, however, aims to solve the age-old gaming problem of having to take your hands away from the controller to eat.
So, logically, he designed and built a ratcheting Hot Pocket holder that clips onto an Xbox 360 controller! You still have to get up to actually nuke the Hot Pocket, since Heck's device (unfortunately) doesn't include a microwave. It's also worth noting that this could work for anything Hot Pocket-shaped: McDonald's hash brown patties, Twinkies, and, if you NEED to eat something healthy for some reason, large granola bars.
You can watch how to make the thing here. (Warning: It's long, and it has an ad for some circuitry design system in the middle.)
