    Your "don't knock it tell you try it" moment.

    It's in exactly the opposite direction of greasy, but my family's meatloaf does something similar (though onions instead of peppers) but with strips of bacon placed over top so the grease seeps down into the meat as it cooks.

    Flawed gems

    Lot of the ones I'd note are already taken so lemme think here... Oh yeah, two original xbox games! Advent Rising and Breakdown. Advent Rising is so horribly unpolished that /I/ could probably do better and ends on a sequel hook for a trilogy that never happens. That being said, the...

    I'm Bored?Let's (Actually) make a game!!!!!

    Well I admit I'm not sure what kind of time I'd have, but I am bout 3/4th way through my bachelors in Game Art & Design. So far I have more of the art side than design side under my belt (though a decent helping of the design part too). Couldn't hurt to toss my hat into the ring. EDIT: As a...

    Your Top 5 Annoying Things In TF2

    As a long time participant on both sides of the Heavy + Medic team, I do want to speak out on this one... On the one hand, yeah, a heavy getting out the regular boxing gloves when they get ubered is madness. On the other hand, the GRU are fantastic to get out when ubered because it will...

    4 Original Xbox Games That Should Have Been Made Compatible

    I greatly mourn the loss of Breakdown to the onward march of technology. Yes, it had some parts that were like a bad anime, but overall I thought it was a goddamn gem. Closest thing I've seen since is Mirror's Edge, which I admit I haven't yet played, but neat as it appears, it doesn't seem to...

    which celebrities have you met and what did you/they say/do?

    Penn and Teller! It was just after seeing their show in Vegas, so can't say it really counts, but was still fun. Teller talks freely when he isn't doing his stage persona.

    The Engineer's Gunslinger

    He is talking about the new unlockable weapons for the Engineer on TF2, recently released with the new Engineer update. Specifically, The Gunslinger which is a robotic hand to replace his gloved hand, allows one to drop cheaper mini-sentries which cannot be upgraded or repaired instead of normal...

    Team Fortress 2 - Worst game ever?

    Your problems seem to be coming more from the fact you're playing the 360 version rather than the quality of the game its self... I play TF2 almost every day, and run into a screaming child maybe once a month at absolute most on the PC. Not to mention having 29 maps, as opposed to 4, 5 of...

    If you could remake one original xbox game with up to date graphics and features what would it be?

    Hey now, I threw out some Breakdown love too! I was sorely disappointed to see how little the game was recognized, as it almost seems to scream for a sequel more than a remake.

    If you could remake one original xbox game with up to date graphics and features what would it be?

    Oh so tempted to go with this, as I do think it was a severely underrated game with quite a bit of potential.. but I have to say: Breakdown.

    River Song (Doctor Who)

    The theory I am toying with myself is that she IS the Doctor. His next regeneration. -When first regenerating from the 10th to 11th Doctor, he first thought that he might have been a girl. Suggesting that this is indeed a possibility. -In The Next Doctor he did not realize until a little...

    Out of Sight Out of Mind (Mass Effect 2)

    Oh I am well aware that Shepard is an N7, however, N7 is (broken down), just the Special forces (N) highest proficiency grade (7). Means he is good at what he does, very good at it, but it is clearly stated to not be a rank or a clearance or anything beyond beyond proficiency, IE, a measure of...

    Out of Sight Out of Mind (Mass Effect 2)

    Somebody already noted that, yes, it was an Asari Commando named Aleena who he was talking about, not Aria, however, there is evidence to suggest that Aleena and Aria are the same person and that Omega is the station that Wrex spoke of. -Aleena survived their encounter -When spoken to of her...

    Unforgotten Realms: Episode 13: SS Paladon

    While it has been years (many of them) since I have actually played in a D&D game, I do still have plenty of stories of what my players have done in the games I have DMed myself. This story, while short, has given rise to a new term that I and my friends use: "Barbarian-Toboggan" -noun...

    Poll: Halo Wars vs EndWar

    He is, but he is only in the explosion in the cut scene for the extended legendary portion. Which is what is being poked at here; that is not something that actually happened, just a humerous non-canon easter egg joke for people who survived legendary. Being that he isnt there in the...
