I hardly get fast food nowadays. Very rarely I'll grab Chick-fil-a since my kids will actually eat it. Otherwise, it's just too expensive and not good enough to justify getting nowadays. Sad because (as my name and avatar suggest) I used to dig it. Anyway, in the last couple weeks I went with my...

The people who watch network TV slop like CSI Butthole Division and whatnot are the ones who watch this. For them, this is prestige television

The later zones and expansions did a much better job of making standard leveling questlines interesting. The vanilla zones are full of "hero we are short on fur! Bring us bear fur!" types of things. Zoned added later like Before the Shadow (Cardolan), Yondershire, and later expansions add more...

The 1990s was great for all fast food. They hadn't been shamed into trying to make everything healthy, so you had delicious lard and trans fats. Fast food joints also still stuck to what they knew: delicious staples of whatever their niche (burgers, chicken, or Mexican). They hadn't introduced...

Pair whatever you do with some regular yoga. Mobility and flexibility decline post 40 is no joke.

McDonald's is at the "classy" part of their cycle right now. They try to make gourmet shit that ends up being overpriced and tasting worse. In a couple years some new CEO will come along and bring it back into the "cheap" part of their cycle. They'll talk about how their menu is too large and...

It sounds like you're describing a Reese's Oreo. I think Sludig is talking about the Oreo Reese's. The Oreo Reese's cups are pretty good. They're basically just a cookies-and-cream flavored Reese's cup. Probably my favorite recent variety, maybe behind the sugar cookie Reese's cups that were...

That's the advice everyone gives and I tried it. Mobs just circle around me and approach once every minute or so. Shit is so tedious. Then when they do get near, I'm lucky to get one basic attack off. Maybe being a Mariner makes it worse. There's almost no range option and strong melee strikes...

I was loving it until I hit Rohan and the mounted combat. Most of the quests are optional, but there was one story quest that required it. I was playing a Mariner (melee class) and it was just awful. I couldn't do it, so I stopped. I picked it up recently playing a new character and since...

Fuck the app. Those should be their regular prices.

Grocery store has been my alternative, too. I can buy a full bag of those TGIFridays chips for $1.69 and any one of a huge variety of beverages for like $2 to $3. I can add on a meat stick if I want protein for another $2. That's more food for about half the price. The only downside is I have...

I really don't understand why anyone is still spending money at fast food places anymore. The food is shit and the prices are through the roof. Last time I went to McD's it was almost $10 for a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, coffee, and hash brown. Haven't been back and don't plan to.

Hah that's funny. I just finished playing through the original Dragon Quest 1 on my retro handheld. I think it was the only Nintendo game I had for a while back in the day. I really enjoyed it. There's something about the simplicity of it that I like. I'd like to try the remake at some point and...

No Menards out on the East Coast. That's interesting a place like Menards would have them. Typically I only ever see them here at shitty gas station stores like Exxon or Shell. Until this pallet appeared I'd never seen them in an actual grocery store. I remember Tato Skins. A Keebler product...

My local grocery store suddenly and randomly plopped down a pallet of these bad boys for $1.69/bag a few weeks ago. These are my favorite chip but I hardly see them anywhere. I've been buying a bag a day for at least two weeks now. They've never carried them before and I don't think they'll...

The fact you need an app at all is gay. Fuck these apps.

If the Skins beat the Chargers I'm for sure celebrating tomorrow with a couple bacon egg and cheese biscuit meals

Chick fil a is one of the only places left around here where you can count on the person taking your order actually speaking fluent English. Most are actually high school kids even. It's like going back in time 30 years. No wonder it's got lines out the door and drive thru wrapped around the...

Funny timing. I just got back from Mission BBQ and dousing my brisket, fries, and Mac and cheese in bay-b-cue sauce.

I had been playing through from level 1 at a really casual pace. A couple weeks ago I hit Rohan (the first expansion I had never done. I had quit during Rise of Isengard back in the day), and the war steed just killed my motivation. I had to do that initial quest where you learn to ride the war...

Yesterday, I went to Burgerfi for the first time in at least 5 years. It was always on the expensive side--more than standard fast food like McD's and Burger King, but cheaper than Five Guys. I got a burger (which was admittedly really tasty), onion rings, drink, and a kid's combo (cheeseburger...

I actually 100% agree with this. I can and do eat all sorts of garbage, but there is something weird about Takis. Maybe it's whatever they use to get the neon colors? Whatever it is, it's off-putting and I'll take a Doritos Dinamita over a Taki any day.

Bennigans' Monte Cristo was the primary reason for my childhood obesity. We went there often and I'd demolish the Monte Cristo every time at like 7 years old.

Newman's Own pasta sauce is one of the only sauces that tastes good and isn't insanely expensive. You can get jars for like $3.00. The rest of the pasta sauce aisle is filled with Prego/Ragu watery shit for about the same price, or stuff like Rao's that is $7.00/jar for some reason.

Friendly's is about the worst ice cream you could buy. It's only a tier above those giant buckets of nondescript ice creams that PTA moms buy for school functions. And at least those have nostalgia factor going for them.

Trader Joes stuff is hit or miss. They've got some awesome frozen stuff, especially if you're into Indian food. However, their chip selection is the worst of any grocery store I've experienced. Super small selection and the ones they have are mostly garbage tier.

Here's a ridiculously in-depth (i.e., it's over 6 hours) video that goes over the history of each Metroid game and summarizes the plots. It's really well made and worth a watch if you're like me and only have a surface knowledge of Metroid. I've dabbled in a few of the games (Metroid, Super...

Lol at this show's writers considering that. They'll probably have him reveal himself as Sauron at the end of the season.

I've also had a few bags of the Baja Blast Doritos. First bag I was meh, but they've grown on me. Kind of a refreshing, summer taste akin to Cool Ranch, but a bit breezier.

Real power players use Snactiv. I use it at work to increase productivity without decreasing snacking.

I saw that same Goldfish display at Giant tonight and thought of this thread.

Hangry Joe's hot chicken for lunch today. So good. Big ass piece of chicken on the sandwich and the spice level (one under the max) was a perfect combination of flavor and heat.

I think drive thru is a big reason people still get traditional fast food. People are lazy and pay a bit more to not have to park, walk in, and pick up a to-go order. Plus the expectation of a tip on top of the price (though that is creeping into fast food, too). Curbside pick-up is a thing...

There are a couple things that make it difficult for some people. Self control is one. Especially when eating is an emotional thing, staying regimented even for just one or two meals a day is super hard. Another thing is that "eating whatever the fuck you want for dinner" can mean...

Fatties of the past had nothing on the fatties of today. Hell, we all thought Homer was hilariously obese in that one Simpsons episode where he puts on weight to work at home. Nowadays, 90% of the people you see at Walmart look like he did. It's really incredible given the golden age of buffets...

Usually. But it could be bad in a fun campy/schlocky way, or it could be mostly bad but with some really awesome set pieces here or there. But it's just bleh.

Good, bad, doesn't matter. The story was forgettable. I barely remember anything about it.
