    It came out quite nice and yeah bone in leg of lamb has been hard to find since COVID. I usually only see it in stores for Easter and Christmas now but Costco will usually have the deboned New Zealand legs for not too bad of a price year round.

    Did a leg of lamb on the kamado and cooked it to 128, long rest, and sliced thin with basically all the sides you'd find at a Greek place so folks could make a gyro like wrap or a plate with something to soak up what was left. Tazaki and hummus didn't make it through dinner but some naan and...

    Forza Horizon 5

    Go into settings - time and language -date, time & regional settings and you'll see a country/region drop down menu. Set to new Zealand and good to go.

    Playstation 5

    I felt/feel the same way. Didn't go out of my way looking for one outside signing up for PS direct and randomly got an invite last week. Said sign on at 12 pst Friday and I could get one and I did. Looking forward to replaying Demon Souls again at 60fps and guessing by the time I 100% it the PS5...

    Playstation 5

    Cool thanks. Will probably set it up to be held at one of their facilities and pick it up once I get the shipping info. Going to be a few hours away for work multiple times next week and kids are at camp. Hate the idea of it just sitting out for the world to see.

    Finally got one from the Sony invite thing yesterday along with Demon Souls. Anyone know if the delivery requires a signature?

    Blaster Master (What the &#%& am I looking at?)

    There was a remaster and sequel to the remaster on Switch (think it is on everything now). Never played the sequel but the remaster was really enjoyable. Think it was done by the same people who do the 2d Bloodstain games.

    Looks great, you may want to check out vertical spits for the oven. I use one when doing it via indirect heat on the ceramic and it works really well. I've done a horizontal version on a normal rotisserie over open coals and didn't notice too much of a difference in flavor but you get much...

    Monopoly

    One of the biggest laughs I think I've ever had at a game night was a 12 player Uno match with 4 or 5 decks. We agreed ahead of time any +card could have another +card played on it and pass on to the next person. Fast forward to everyone having multiple +cards and my buddies wife getting stuck...

    You should give tacos al pastor marinated in a pineapple chile base then grilled using the top and bottom of a whole pineapple to hold it steady (looks gyro like on the grill) a try, it will change your opinion on pineapple and pork. Fruit and pork chops are awesome together in general though...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    We missed out on that Anklebiters movie not being viewable. Copy and pasted as is from the web description. A small town is overrun by ankle-biting, blood-sucking dwarf vampires. Things get complicated when the vertically-challenged coffin-creepers get their itty-bitty hands on a sword with...

    What would you like to see in a board game?

    Organization, it sucks grabbing a game and having to spend forever getting the stuff out of the box figured out and organized to play e.g. Gloomhaven without a 3rd party or home brew solution. Dice Throne Season 2 and Season 1 rerolled are the golden standard for pick up and play. Too Many Bones...

    They made a Stardew Valley 1-4 player coop game. My kids have more hours in that than Animal Crossing on 3ds and Switch combined so will snag it as an Easter gift for them. They do post a warning that the game is a bit long, 45 minutes per player, so not sure how much it will be in our rotation...

    The recent duck talk made me snag a whole one when I saw it at Costco. Anyone have a good whole duck recipe? I normally just pierce the skin a bit, salt it overnight, rub down in garlic, season under the skin and in the cavit, roast on an elevated rack to the halfway point, take out some of the...

    Nioh 2 (PS4 (PC in November?))

    Is there at least more MOB variety in 2? I remember there really only being 3 challenges to those alternate missions, find and kill a horned demon, a tongue demon or those f you bird demons. Enjoying the game play of 1 enough to probably snag 2 when my replay is done and done deal if there is a...

    Nioh 2 (PS4 (PC in November?))

    I ended up going with option B where light and heavy attack are R1/R2, ki pulse/change stance is L1 and it works pretty well. Managed to one shot the demon in the boat which felt really good after the amount of times I died to him a few years back. After that remembered why I didn't like this as...

    Nioh 2 (PS4 (PC in November?))

    I just finished another play through of Sekiro and started up a replay of Nioh and have died so many damn times in the stage after the tutorial hitting L1 to block or circle to dodge. I tried to map the controller exactly like Sekiro but that ended up screwing up the menuing so will just have to...

    This one isn't bad for how to play but doesn't go into building your army. Skip to about 3 minutes if you don't want the preamble.

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    Humble has a new WH40k bundle up. Top tier has the first 3 Horus Heresy books and they are probably the best of the bunch and Fulgrim isn't half bad either. Haven't read any of the others but interested in the Fabious Bile one as his story in Fulgrim was interesting and his mini is pretty...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    With the latest renown level world quests and table missions are now giving out 194 gear and I've gotten a couple level 200 conduits from the caches. Guessing if you are lucky you will get 207 gear out of the purple caches now. RIP LFR transmog runs as I don't see people quing for low drop rate...

    Miniature Painting

    Never thought of using contrasts as a pure shade before but really like how the normal wraithbone combined with skeleton horde contrast came out in this video. If I can ever find Deathwing squads for MSRP or less or get around to my Indomitus captains/veterans will be giving that a try. Was...

    Warhammer 40k

    Those are really tempting, especially since it is just put together and go. Will sleep on it but will probably end up ordering their Industrial Starter for some quick easy cover to add to the table. They announced a new kill team bundle today that looks like it will allow a good chunk of the...

    Warhammer 40k

    Outside of building an army in battlescribe and painting there really isn't an easy way to play right now. I have basically been playing with my family only and have done a lot of work on clearing out my backlog of unassembled and or unpainted minis. My youngest loves throwing dice so when I...

    Anyone have a recommendation for some cheap 3rd party terrain? Mainly looking for kill team set ups at the moment but once the world is back to normal will hopefully start doing some full table set ups.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Out of nowhere a 184 trinket with 52 main stat and an on click 631 mastery showed up on the world quest map. Been struggling to get any trinkets with mastery so if anyone is in the same boat it's in Bastion for the next several hours.

    They are a bit bigger than Farmer John but the Kirkland brand ones at Costco are pretty damn good. Alternatively, if you have a local butcher chances are they will have some amazing hot dogs but usually at 2x-3x the cost of a store brand.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If the renown catch up mechanic is easily grinded and they introduce the suggested earlier in the thread bound to account anima crates the campaign will be a good way to gear up alts quickly. Would just have to get some rings and trinkets and be pretty much at 190 with a 187 weapon.

    Tried the twisting tower for the first time tonight and basically wasted my time and wondering if I had a bad roll, if this is the norm or if I was missing a gimmick. Floors 13-17 were nothing but these shadow mobs that could near one shot me if my cool downs weren't up (190 blood DK and had...

    It just showed up and the packaging is exactly the same as S1 to the point that if it didn't have Season 1 written on the side you wouldn't be able to tell the two apart. Took a peak at the new classes and Treant is level 6 complexity and Ninja is 2. Hopefully will get to try it out this weekend...

    Just got the shipping notice my Dice Throne Season 1 reprint and Adventures and it is already out for delivery today which is a wonderful surprise. Probably spent over 10 hours playing it last week with the family and sent my brother home with my original season 1 on Sunday so timing is really nice.
