    The Taste

    Yes I see now that it is a direct ripoff of The Voice. Nonetheless, they could have showed some of the prep during these intial stages. The entire 2 hours was just a rapid fire series of 5 - 10 seconds of food being mixed together and several minutes of the judges talking. I'd have preferred...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    I second this advice. Move out there, rent a place and see what happens. Worst case scenario the relationship fizzles out, but at least you get several months of job experience to put on the resume. Just don't do anything that would tie you to that area longterm until you are sure about the...

    The Taste

    Seems kind of stupid...it's too focused on people. Are they ever planning on showing the actual food preparation? That's the part of cooking shows I enjoy. I don't give a shit about the judges or contestants.

    Weight Loss Thread

    If you're not already doing it, I would recommend you use a website like fitday to keep an accurate count of calories for everything you're eating (assuming your goal is weight loss). Stuff like "Dinner - Anything, usually cooked at home and somewhat healthy" can still amount to an enormous...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Healthy eating is damn expensive. I decided to make some homemade apple sauce, and a $5 bag of apples got me about two-to-three meals worth of apple sauce. I can buy a week's worth for less than that if I go the processed route from the supermarket. I opted for the cheapest apples too.

    Kerbal Space Program

    Check our Robbaz's "Viking Space Program" videos for this game on youtube. They're absolutely hilarious.

    Cereal

    This thread inspired me to buy Trix for dinner, which I am eating now. This was the first time I've actually stopped and looked at the cereal aisle in a good 5 - 6 years. Man, kids today have it so shitty. I didn't recognize half the great cereals from my youth.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Cheezits are baked and cavemen used fire so I'm pretty sure a box of cheezits is an acceptable paleo breakfast.

    Weight Loss Thread

    I've lost about 50 pounds twice over the last 3 years. The first time it was through only diet + cardio, and even though I wasn't "fat", I looked saggy and skinny fat with no definition. The second time I decided to do it right, and I did 3 - 4 days a week in the gym + cardio + diet and I...

    Supernatural

    It's pretty common for shows like this to reuse actors for different roles. Stargate and Stargate Atlantis were pretty infamous for this as well.

    What do you do?

    I've got 5 relatives who work for the postal service in various capacities, 2 of whom are mail carriers. They've all been in for 30+ years and their salaries and benefits are insane for the amount of work they do. My job lets me accumulate up to 80 hours of PTO, while they are able to accumulate...

    DDL doesn't do movies for money, he does movies because he likes the roles. I'm guessing he's just a history buff.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Sounds like you're on the right path. Consistancy is the key so just keep it up and you'll continue making progress. How much do you weigh right now? 250ish pounds (115kg) at 10% body fat is absolutely monstorous. It's a good goal but that seems pretty damn ambitious for October.

    I found mineral water to be a great alternative to sodas. It gives the same texture/crispness/fizz without all the chemicals and unhealthy shit.

    Using "darling" only works if you've got a Southern US accent. That word should never be used in Canada.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    I personally think Paleo is stupid. I'm currently in the best health of my life (after being sluggish, depressed, and obese from childhood to my mid-20s). The best "diet" is called common sense and moderation. Basically, I just eat as much fresh food as possible. Prepare it yourself. Don't...

    The Hobbit

    I've wondered how closely connected the art direction between LOTRO and the LOTR (and now The Hobbit) movies was because, as you say, some parts of the game look EXACTLY like the movie. I'm curious if they had the same concept artists or something to purposely keep the game as similar to the...

    Supernatural

    The "logical" part of this show has long since jumped the shark. At this point it's just a fun, guilty pleasure thanks mainly to Jensen Ackles being both badass and hilarious at the same time. It was fun to hypothesize and predict the story in the earlier seasons but it is just pointless now...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    That describes logging into any MMO on an established character after a long hiatus. I found it was easier (and more enjoyable) to start a new character when I picked the game up after not playing for about 2 years. Lots of the low level stuff had been revamped and there were quite a few new...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Was it ever really explained what exactly happened to Old Valeria? I know they mention the "doom" and whatnot in the books, but has Martin ever gone into more detail in outside works/interviews? I find the whole history of that area and the free cities really interesting. I really enjoyed...

    Well like I said in my post, with ultra settings and DX10 the game barely ran, so it wouldn't surprise me if my video card didn't support 11.

    Career Advice -- Money Making Potential

    It sounds like she's well aware of who you are and thinks you'd be great for the job. I'd just wait till late January and see if you get contacted. If you don't hear anything from the director/HR director by early February I'd shoot her a quick e-mail and mention it.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I'm pretty sure you can wait till level 20 and buy the riding skill with gold, like any other skill. You only have to pay Turbine Points for it if you want it earlier (level 5?). Edit: Grim1 said it better than me. That's what I get for leaving my half-finished post open for several minutes...

    DX10 with everything maxed. I'm not sure DX11 was an option when I took these pictures, although I may be misremembering. I know it was the highest settings allowable using the in-game graphics settings because the game barely ran on my pc when I was taking those pictures.

    Whether it turns out good or bad I'm going to give it a shot at least. I'm happy to see something a little different on TV for a change and I'll support it unless it's absolutely abysmal.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's been a while but I vaguely remember something about how each vagina demon requires an immense amount of energy or lifeforce or whatever from the king, and Stannis has pretty much used his up so they can't use that get out of jail free card again.

    I had posted about a dozen high res screenshots on FoH. I'll see if I still have them on my pc later today. I still think LOTRO is one of the best looking MMO's out there right now, especially considering how old it is. Not only are the graphics crisp and the animations generally good, but...

    When I was a kid we had our NES and SNES set up next to each other, each with a separate little TV. After Super Mario All Stars came out, my brother and I would each pick a machine and we'd race through Super Mario 3 to see who could beat the game first. Needless to say, I knew the ins-and-outs...
