    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I know.... That was my favorite cheese spell for abusing terrain, and just sending in my homing swarm to whittle monsters down. That are using a summon to distract while I just run around the boss room shooting out the flies.

    The Northman (2022)

    Based on the second trailer, looks like a Conan remake, but done right, just not Conan. Still looks fantastic, probably one of the only reason I'm excited to see, but based on some of the scenes in the trailer I wonder if you could sit there and just track a list of similar scenes between the...

    Porchetta turned out great. Made roasted garlic mashed potatoes, white bean salad, and caprese. Just got to pick up some good hard rolls to make sandwiches with the leftovers now.

    What type of wine did you end up using, and what was the cut of beef? Did you use oxtails or short ribs?

    I'm no @Foler , but I don't mind black licorice. You be surprised though, it's not a licorice taste when combined with the pork. The wet rub has garlic, lemon zest, Rosemary, sage, thyme, and lots of salt and pepper. I also put red chili flakes in just for a little bit of spice. Part of the...

    Porchetta prepped and dry brining. Got it made yesterday, and planning on roasting Sunday, but heavy pressure to cook it tomorrow. I prefer to dry brine it at least for 3 days, but tomorrow will be close enough based on how it's looking in the fridge. Haven't made one in over a year and I'm...

    I've gotten the twins armor from the guy from round table hold, I haven't taken it off for 50 or 60 levels. I've been wondering whether I'll finally come across something I'm willing to switch out to. I know the bull goat armor is supposed to be the highest poise in the game, but I don't...

    I thought this was a pretty good episode. When they brought up the Chinese pandering, made me remember the stupid arks that the CCP was building in the 2012 movie. I'd be curious to go back and look at his other films to see how much was tied to that market.

    Finally sat down this afternoon and worked my way through the Caria Manor area. Fuck those hand monsters. The rest of the place wasn't too bad and one shot the boss, but that lower area is a royal pain in the ass. Still a lot of fun, no I've got a new quest line to work on. I'm assuming I...

    There's a spirit ash of a rot dog that'll hit him with a pretty good DOT. You just have to kind of keep him occupied long enough for the dot to take effect, and all you have to do is just run around and stay alive and he'll slowly die. You can take pot shots at him with a bow and I'll sit...

    No it's pretty shitty. I just kept upgrading the horn bow, and put the great shot Ash of war on it. Changing out the arrows to some of the special ones seems to be at least be little bit more helpful, especially for a bigger Target. I'm going strength faith but I've got enough dex to use...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Hell yeah. It's become a mini game of what monsters I can abuse with a bow and figuring out terrain and distances that allow me to sit there and just whittle them down. Those tree guardians are one of the easier monsters if you just sit there and shoot them. Just have to watch out for the...

    Kite him around the tree with a bow and arrow. Just stay on your horse and sit there and take pot shots. That's what I did for at least the first couple that I killed now at this point I'm high enough level where I can go in and melee them but I'm level 100 ish.

    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...

    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...
