    I'd really like to pick one up but I want to try and find one with the skin still on it. I want my cracklins. I'm assuming you just did a traditional barbecue rub. Did you glaze it with anything? I got a couple of Boston butts in the freezer. Going to pull one out this next week and prep...

    Nah, but I was watching that guy for MTG arena maybe a year ago when I was still playing it. Not surprised that he's branched out to other video games. I think his channel is really starting to take off. I I just saw some random video about using a bow to knock out enemies when clearing...

    I've kept the horn bow upgraded as high as I can because I sit there and cheese trash mobs and even bosses every chance I get. Doesn't do a ton of damage, but with enough patience I can sit there and pluck away on annoying monsters. I know this isn't going to be capable towards the end of the...

    That's exactly it. I think the last time I experienced something like this within a game was when fallout 3 came out. Yeah I was at the greatest game probably not but the sheer sense of exploration was what made it such a fun and novel experience. This game definitely has that in spades...

    I just finished the Academy. I don't know how many hours I've got sunk into to the game, probably 60 to 80, but I've been spending most of it just exploring and doing the little catacombs and what have you. I'm nowhere close to being done with it though. I'm not in a rush today and I'm just...

    So have any of you guys killed all of the caravan merchants? I guess you can get Bell bearings from them, and give them to the two-faced husk, and they get all of the inventory. I'm sure this may have been talked about before, but I missed it and don't know if doing that would screw me out of...

    Spooky Movie Night - A weekly stream of horror movies and music for all the internet outcasts

    Four is pretty rough, but if you're a fan of the series it's still pretty great despite Coscarelli having a ridiculously small budget. It's not like he didn't have a small budget on any of the movies though. It really just comes down to a labor of love for him and all of his actors. I still...

    Oh my God this. I don't know how many fights I've had from horseback where I've jumped off on accident. First time I tried to kill the golden Knight outside of the starting area took me forever because I just kept knocking myself off the stupid horse.

    I'm using one of these models, but mine only has 4 paddles. I think it's the version below that one. It's pretty nice but I haven't mapped any functions to the paddles. The problem I found is at the paddles will pop out. They're supposed to be removable but they just don't seem to stay in...

    Man, you've got that weird back thing that this guy has in his crazy poison build. I haven't played the game long enough to even know what the hell he's using, but it looks pretty wacky. What the hell is that?

    I think I'm going to have to swing by Kroger's soon. HEB has been fucktastic with their pricing lately, but if there's a deal to be had over at Krogers I'm game. I just never shopped there because most of the Staples that we pick up are more expensive, but I'm not opposed to hitting different...

    You should dry age a cheap brisket and turn that into burger meat. But I don't know if there is such a thing as a cheap brisket any longer. Please post some pics once you get them set up I'll be curious to see what your results are. Maybe do one for grinding and then just cook the other...

    It depends on the purveyor. Just because it's labeled wagyu or American wagyu doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a superior cut of meat. I know the HEB here in town was getting there waygu steaks from some supplier and they were pretty lackluster in comparison to a prime cut. You could...

    The Lost City of Z and The Rover we're both excellent movies too. He's got a lot more range than people give him credit for. I think he was actually in a David Cronenberg movie a number of years back as well. Looks like he made his bank on the Twilight stuff and now we just picks and chooses...

    I guess I just don't understand why people watch that guy. He's such a fucking dipshit. Granted, a dipshit making good money, but it just boggles my mind how anyone could stand watching him. I'm guessing it's just a younger generation that lap it up? Every video I've ever seen of the guy or...

    You can always use a charcoal chimney and place your work on top of it. Little bit more of a pain in the ass but you can get some super hot temps. Always dump the charcoal in your grill when done and get some smokiness on some other components for your dish. Also, I think I saw Kenji make a...

    That's probably some of the most important rewards you need to go after. That's just my guess, but it seems logical. I think everything is just about slowly grinding and improving your characters in any way possible. I could be completely wrong though.

    How is the Striker class? I thought about making a monk primary next class, I have a hard time playing genderlocked female characters. The solstice looks pretty cool but again I just wish I could make a male character. It sounds like the striker though is reliant upon doing a whole bunch of...

    I haven't played an MMO since the secret world. I don't play video games very often any longer. I was playing Pathfinder wrath of the righteous and I haven't touched it in a couple of months. However, I've logged in every day to play this game some. It's just fun and refreshing. Runs...

    Doesn't look bad, and it's on sale. I'm sure it would probably be fine. Guess it really depends on how much she cooks and what type of cooking she does. If she's without a stove right now, it's probably a good deal, but if she just looking to upgrade there may be better options.

    Dude go longer. 45-60 days. Anything less than 30 isn't really going to do much. Once you start getting out to 90 or 120 things get pretty weird but enjoyable, it's just a radically different flavor. It almost gets into a blue cheese type territory mixed with some type of charcuterie. I...

    If you're willing to travel a bit, you should check out planet Ford on highway 45 North of Houston. I bought my F-150 from them a number of years back when I was in the market to try to find another used vehicle. The used market at the time was shit for something in decent shape with low...

    The D&D thread

    It really was an amazing setting with a great overall story, and every book released had different types of new classes to play. Balance was non-existent though, but that was up to the GM to make everybody feel useful. They were just so many RCCs or OCCs that were grossly overpowered compared...

    I think palladium books and Rifts is still going strong. I had every book up to Japan, but got rid of them sometime back in college. I'll check their website out occasionally just to see what new world books or dimension books that they've released. I really enjoyed that game except the...

    Haven't done a simple roast chicken in a while. Perfect cold weather meal. Dry brined for 24hrs and butter basted, with some white wine to help keep things moist. Wish I would have gotten a little bit more crisp on the potatoes, but they should do well reheating.

    I had the same question about the founders packs, and a buddy of mine sent me this video. This guy says go bronze or platinum because the difference between silver and gold isn't that big. I have no clue if any of that's true but I know a couple of my buddies have all Platinum.

    Wet brining is great and I do it with mainly poultry or pork, but I always dry brine beef. The biggest thing to know is that depending upon your wet brine, it can sometimes change the texture of the meat. You'll get more of a hammish type texture. That's not necessarily a bad thing but it...
