  1. Indeed. They are usually best after a frosty winter. They can handle snow and ice easily and in doing so, they come out really sweet. Almost like candy. So if you ever grow carrots, don't pull all of them in the fall!
  2. My chicken lentil soup doesn't taste the same with grocery store carrots and celery, primarily the carrots. This is the first time that I confirmed it after making it for years with farmer's market ones. Still good but it is missing the sweetness that I'm used to.
  3. No, Halo must be a yearly release or it'll be a failure.

    I want to be a Chinese peasant or something...
  5. Revisiting the Yosemite area is quite fun with a background in geology. Granitic rocks are oddly quite dull though...

      Geology was the only science I enjoyed in college(one of only two science classes I took.) Made a C+ in the main class and an A+ in Lab. Loved breaking open those rocks and labeling them...but when it comes to chemical/element composition. Fuck. Me.

       

      Haven't been to Yosemite, but I loved going to the rock mountains(Garden of the Gods) after taking the Geology class.

      Revan, if you sent me rocks, be sure to record sampling location, orientation and general outcrop description. Makes for better context to any samples, be they for research or pleasure.

       

      Vecha, indeed. Know what potentially went down for the rocks makes visiting places a lot cooler. People may roll their eyes but it isn't unlike an engineer mentally stripping say a bridge, computer or building.

      Oh, indeed. I learned a lot of how to collect samples by watching America Unearthed, no matter how bad the show is.

  6. I freeze my ass in the Sierras to come home to this. A worthy sacrifice. Time to face Rape Tank and Bitch all over again. Then again, I have Marina, blitzkrieg Scouts and anti-armor Assault... I'll be fine. With that all said, my price is $30 max. I'll be buying it for sure though once i get some sort of sale since this is one of my favorite games.
  7. I can't say that I like last minute write ups of things related to my thesis... actually, I'm pissed off at myself.

  8. I recently got into watching Rome but knowing that it is based off history kind of brings it down a notch. I don't know why since it isn't that different from say Game of Thrones. If I have to guess, I would guess that it is pretty well known what happens to Caesar. Also the conflict between Mark Anthony and Octavian (Augustus Caesar) is also well known. So nothing major is left unknown. The only thing that is kept suspenseful is the lives of Titus and Lucius. Not to say that it isn't fun watching. It is always nice to see portrayals of the past... even if it may not be the most accurate of depictions. Plus it's about the fucking fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of Roman Empire. What is there not to love?
  9. http://www.bundlestars.com/store/middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=deals+shadowofmordor Shadow of Mordor at $33. Also 33% off the season pass if that is your thing... I'm personally debating but I've been burned enough with that junk to be cautious. Though (eventually) fighting Sauron sounds mighty tempting. Edit: Actually, it is be cheaper (~$28) at Nuuvem. http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/2060-middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor Same goes for the season pass but the saving isn't as much but if you get the Premium Edition then I guess it'll be a bigger saving? I'm too lazy to do the math.
  10. I shouldn't but damn if I am not going to support my man, Dowman Sayman. Also Nichijou.
  11. Nickelodeon is over. The light of life dims a little today.
  12. This is how you kill hype which may be a good thing. Then again, looking at the figure, if that is not saturation then I don't know what is.
  13. by so bad, you mean so awesome right? That was one of my brother and my favourite films when we were young. It wasn't part of my childhood so there is that. I would put it to the good movie thread if it didn't have those slow parts that nearly had me nod off. Either way, it was a surprising movie. Again, love that the gun nut lives. You'd expect that he and his wife would be the first to go.
  14. I could use a love-child between God Hand and Arkham BLANK combat system in my live.

      Beautiful thought

  15. Tremors Its so bad that it became decent. Also that gun nut and his wife are the best characters. A sand worm bust into your bunker? Spray it full of lead!

  17. Goh, I can't take you that seriously with that name and avatar. So your comment is invalid.
  18. The World of Ice and Fire is dropping in less than two weeks. Super pumped. When it comes to universes I love, nothing compares to the background lore.
  19. If anything pisses me off it is the last chances. Motherfucker I pressed the button on time.
  20. Speaking of which... Today I actually non-lethally shot an Uruk in the face; however, I didn't notice that he was in a middle of a yelling match with lesser orcs. Guess what the lesser orcs did when they saw him stumble? Hint: It sure wasn't looking for who shot the Uruk in the face. Fucking perfect.
  21. I finally got around to Saga volume 3. I was dead tired but I still finished it in one sitting. The pacing and writing is that well done. There is really no wasted panel. The only thing that can taint this series for me if the ending goes to absolute shit. If you guys feel like it, you can get the hardcover volume 1 which collects volume 1-3 of the paperback with some added goodies. It's quite temping for me since it would allow me to lend my paperback copies to friends so that the Gospel of Saga spreads.

  23. Welcome to the 21st century HBO. Now take my money.

      Mr. GOH!

      The issue then is how HBO would placate the cable companies that make a lot of money forcing folks into specific cable TV packages just to qualify for HBO.

      This is gonna piss off the cable companies no matter how they do it though.

    He must of had some shitty shoes because if my younger brothers who are/were a lot more fatter than Kim is never broke their ankles then I must really question Kim's shoes or general overall health. I would check his liver.
