    All the time. Dice some chicken and put in a pan with some oil on med-high heat. Add generous amounts of salt, pepper, cumin, paprika. A hearty dose of chipolte powder, and a little cinnamon. When you've got a minute left add in some minced garlic. Meanwhile finely chop some cilantro and...

    Transformers 4: Baylicious

    Have you seen Pain & Gain because Bay pretty much spells out what he does, and I love him for it.

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    Yes that specific play, which most teams will run on average less than once a game is very shallow. If you want I will effort post on what happens in the bog standard off tackle run, which is probably the most basic play in football that actually gets run within the average downs progression.

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    I don't buy it. I played soccer through high school, and was a ref for 6 years at higher levels. I get that in the grand scheme of things this puts my soccer knowledge at fuck and all. I get that there are nuances, and I'm pretty sure I still pick most of them up. There are tactics, but they are...

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    I'm kind of the opinion that it's not the lack of scoring, but the lack of action all around. Soccer is just kind of boring.

    Wizardhawk's memorial thread (a cautionary tale of dental care and garlic)

    Now this thread is haunted by a ghost. Go in peace spirit of Wizardhawk.

    Transformers 4: Baylicious

    I'm looking forward to it. I've come to believe that Bay is far more self aware and far more aggressively cynical than most people think, and his movies when viewed from this perspective take on unrelenting subversive tone that I really like.

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    That was a gut punch, but I thought the US looked more or less like an actual soccer team which was pretty nice.

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    I just bought a ridiculously large dark eldar army for a ridiculously low price. What the fuck am I doing.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    But there's a lot of it! Most the mass of your body and everything around you comes from energy.
