But once you get beyond that, the taste is actually, well, not quite what I expected. At least insofar as I didn't immediately throw up anyway. The suprising thing is how stringy the beans get. I'm not sure I want to know why.
This kind of got me to thinking. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of any classically American foods that are just that smelly or nasty looking. The Brits have Marmite and various kinds of "puddings". The Scots have revolting things like Haggis. The French have a litany of foods that look, smell, and taste revolting (foie gras, for instance). That's just Western European. Get into the rest of Europe, Asia, and Africa and things can really get frightening to the American palate.
Maybe I'm just too close to it, but I just can't think of anything your typical American eats or drinks that would be as scary as spoiled, string soy beans on rice. Maybe that's too our detriment that our national cuisine is bland. But the only thing I find scary here is our beer.
So, any non-Americans care to comment on our food here?

It's a confession! I never make those! It HURTS! But here goes: I have on numerous (4) occasions stated emphatically that David Gilmour is the ONLY living person who should be allowed to play a guitar solo (I add the word "living" to appease those Hendrix fans who would do me harm [my wife]).
Last night on my way to work I played some DragonForce in the car and cranked it way up and found myself bouncing in my seat and rocking out and driving 75-80 MPH which is no big deal, except for the fact that I wasn't on the freeway yet, I do that a lot 'cause usually I play Talk is Poison or Grimple or April Lasagne or something totally energetic like that. But the big deal here is I realized I had been listening to a lengthy guitar solo and ENJOYING IT!!! So I dunno the dude's name but he is now officially allowed to play a guitar solo. Okay I didn't say anything funny, sorry. You gambled and lost >:(

Sunday hosted a Flashpoint game the likes of which we've never seen before. The subject of it was the Wargames League mod for OFP, which strives to turn OFP into an even more realistic depiction of combat than any other mods have ever done. After what we saw over the course of the session, the only possible conclusion one could draw is that yes, hell yes, they did a fantastic job with the mod. The combat and firefights in it were unlike anything we've seen before, and not only did we play some extremely enjoyable cooperative missions, we also had the best adversarial games of all time by far. Cornbeef provided the adversarial missions on short notice, and the cooperative stuff was a mix of missions we downloaded from the WGL site and a converted pack of missions from our original Shack missionpack that one of the WGL devs sent us prior to the session.
In reply I'll be posting a brief rundown on what was changed for WGL, and also a bunch of screenshots and one or two videos from the session. We ended up having a peak of somewhere around 30 players (I forget whether it was 30 or 35 that we maxed out at), and the whole thing was an unbelievable amount of fun.
Here's a teaser screen:

I swear, some people just don't understand that someone tries to be nice and help them out a little and they just want to go way beyond the help that was offered. I need him out so me and the girl can have sex all throughout the house again.

So the wife just came downstairs and said she's been having contractions for the last 2 hours. After 9 months, it's finally hitting me now: I'm gonna be a dad very soon.
Holy fuck, what have I done?

To jog your memory for those who don't know, he's an awesome artist that does a lot of videogame characters, most people here have probably seen his Gordon Freeman. His website used to be at www.anry.ru, but it's been down for a long time, and he hasn't visited his deviant art site in well over a year.
I was just wondering if he up and died or something, which would suck on many many levels.

I was doing some "manscaping" and had a leg propped up on an open cabinet door. When I went to take the leg down, I caught my knee on the edge of the door, and scraped it right on top of my ACL reconstruction scar. Even almost 10 years later, that thing is tender and reopening it does NOT feel good.
This is a family guy moment if I've ever had one

This game certainly SEEMS to be a cool FPS, but really it's just a malware shipped product that will slow down your entire system. "Steampowered" & "Steam" are malware that try and babysit the consumer and don't do a very good job of it.
