    The research team at the facility will have found or discovered an ancient virus from one of their core samples from another period of life. Upon being exposed to it, it spreads fast and drives them crazy, and makes them follow some sort of herd mentality, to where they kill themselves like...

    So I'm watching this before I cook dinner, and the part where they do the Oscar montage for the pornstar from danzig's previous film. That's honestly one of the most hilarious things they've done so far. It's funny because it's probably true.

    Went to go look it up because it was bugging me: I guess it could make you shit yourself, too.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Yeah, that wasn't too bad of a found footage horror movie. I listened to a book called Dead Mountain a number of years ago about the incident, and the author's theory was a certain type of sound wave made by the wind and the shape of the mountain drove the hikers crazy. Forget what the...

    I'm pretty sure they actually screwed with the experience curve, but like others have said they run events where it might be double XP. I think you can also switch a setting to give you more experience but you get less rewards or something. Sorry it's been a while since I've logged in.

    Yep. I'm not very good at baking. I mean I can follow the instructions and stuff and it'll typically turn out well, but I don't have the ability to create my own version of a cake or something, I just don't know the ratios between flower, sugar, fats, and stuff. Cooking times and temps are a...

    Looks pretty tasty. You're right, baking is a bitch. Everything has to be so exact and one wrong step can spell disaster. It's still worth the hassle though.

    Yeah I figured by the summer sale most of the bugs will hopefully be ironed out and it'll be on discount by then, plus there might be some additional content.

    It was pretty dark in the theater when we saw it, but the funniest theater experience was when a group of us watched the Samuel L Jackson Shaft remake. Black guy in this woman comes and sits right in front of us and he was wearing those gold Elvis style glasses. The entire time one chapter was...

    Yeah, a lot of their recipes are rock solid. I know if we make homemade biscuits we use their layering method for the dough with a ton of butter and oh my God they're pretty fantastic. Little bit more work but that's why I make the wife make them at times on the weekend. She probably knows...

    The croissants really add a another level of richness to the dish. My mom used to make one that had masticated cherries and I think almonds and amaretto, but also had this vanilla cream sauce where you used the whole vanilla bean. The tartness of the cherries really plays well with the creamy...

    Hell yeah it is. I've got more alts and just goofy characters I've made trying to do some fun concept and that really is the highlight of the game. Friends and I would always make weird themed guilds. When everything got fired back up we made the Church of Scientology. But he played a...

    Is it worth picking up right now, or wait for some patches and a sale? I had planned on getting it during Christmas because I figured at least they'd knock off 5 or 10 bucks during the steam sale but that didn't happen.

    Probably some type of bread pudding. It's so versatile, and as long as you know how to make a custard you can use whatever bread you got on hand, and any other sweet ingredients. A lot of the times during Christmas I'll do a bananas Foster bread pudding and I'll use croissants. I've done it...

    Gotta wash your rice like a jogger washes they's chicken, no-wha-i-meen! Keeping it real. I do know washing your rice is good, but you don't need a fucking specific bowl for it. Just use a goddamn fine mesh colander.

    Yeah, that's pretty socker mom shit. Went to a dinner party one time and this Jewish couple brought a hot reuben dip. Was served with toasted rye bread crostini's. It was actually pretty good, but I think I brought a Boston butt or maybe a couple of racks of ribs. If you're going to go and...

    We made a variation of this last year. Had a big chunk of homemade porchetta in the freezer that I needed to find a use for, so used that for the pork fat with some spicy Italian sausage. Also added few different types of white beans which I like in soups to accompany the potatoes. Think we...

    Video popped up from Rowan J Coleman for Farscape. He does some pretty interesting retrospectives on older science fiction series. Pretty in-depth normally, and well crafted. I just find them enjoyable to hear about the history of how some of these shows were made. They're always pretty long...

    That was late very 80s or early 90s wasn't it?. I'm pretty sure I had a full set of the first series back in the days of riding your bike up to the comic book store. You traded with your friends so everybody had a full set.

    Don't remember the brand I have. Think I got it from academy. Maybe B&B. It's been alright for throwing a little smoke flavor on whatever I'm making, especially if it's something more delicate like fish.

    Guess it's just the nature of the smoke produced by pellets vs wood? I've got a couple bags of pellets I picked up on clearance and will toss them into one of those little wood chip boxes sometimes, or maybe on top of my coals, but I'm always using chunks of wood, too.

    Rosemary or thyme are fine. Just go easier with rosemary because it can overwhelm quickly. I'd probably just roll with thyme and a clove or two of garlic with salt and pepper.
