    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    facebook has shown me that the kind of people who discuss whiskey on the internet generally also really enjoy taking their children hunting

    these are the kind of people i should be acquainted with so that i can get liquor advice and free haunches of venison or whatever

    Dilemma - I am going to a wedding soon, very soon and I need to think about gifts. Now I know both the people pretty well and they have pretty different tastes. They are also going to be travelling for a while, then moving countries. So all the obvious gifts are not really appropriate (house etc). Personal gifts are also hard, given their different tastes. Happily they have a register, or at least a fund to contribute to buying stuff for the house they will live in when they settle down. This would seem like the easy choice, but how much does one give?

    I made the mistake of trying to get Grunt before getting Mordin. It was hard. I got through it, though.

    They say that you can take the missions in any order you want but I think it's more like Mega Man where there's a certain order that makes it easier.

    I only play on Insanity, BTW.
    Yup, though I didn't take him with me. Taking Jacob and Zaeed to get Grunt on Insanity is rather dumb as a soldier. Pull is mostly useless when everyone has shields, and concussive shots aren't much better.

    jacob is awesome on that mission

    you know that part where there's a bunch of krogan all in a row? take mordin and jacob: incinerate, shoot off the last of the armor, PULL OFF THE CLIFF

    i love the krogan conga line

    Me too! If you want to tell a joke with an absurd premise but it's funny, that's great! But if you want to make an observation with an absurd premise and I'm supposed to laugh just because of how true it is I want to respond... Negatively.

    I'm with chu. So many people love Hicks that I watch his specials sometimes hoping it'll hit me right, but every time it's just flat.

    And the whole taking metaphors literally thing just made me connect one of mt best friends from school and the many low-grade aspie tendencies he has: cannot follow a metaphor, great memory for facts, abrupt changes in conversation topic, and a bunch more. Funny.

    I play a lot of games on the highest difficulty.

    Other games give me sufficient ammo to deal with my enemies, or ways that I can farm ammo, or ways I can progress while conserving ammo.

    Giving you a finite amount of ammo and no way to circumvent fights is just bad design, IMO.

    My main complaint is that ME1 had unlimited ammo but ME2 didn't, and I felt like (in the context of the ME franchise, where maps are largely linear) this was a bad idea.

    I cleared some viruses off a friend's laptop and she offered me €100... apparently the guy in the store was going to charge €150.

    I settled for a coffee.

    The only explanation for why a person in this day and age doesn't know how to burn a CD is because they were born yesterday.

    my problem even talking about it is that there isn't much variety around here, because Ontario has pretty draconian liquor laws. only the province can sell liquor, and they charge a price on top instead of tax.

    this bottle of Van Winkle 12-year is about 40 dollars in the US, and it was 71.50 in Ontario.

    At least you can find some Van Winkle - none of the liquor stores that I frequent in my area (Seattle) ever seem to have it in stock. Even the fancypants whiskey bar that I go to occasionally only ever seems to have the rye.
