[QUOTE=thelurker1234;50944771]Burgers suck. While there are bunless burgers (haven't had tho) that sound like they go halfway towards solving the problem by getting rid of the unecessary and shitty bun, hamburger meat itself is just meh as well.[/QUOTE] After having tried "gourmet" burgers on at least 30 different occasions now, I'm inclined to agree. The texture of the meat is lost on mincing, and the taste of the meat is always buried under obscene amounts of sauce, usually some avant-garde mixture of mayo and whatever awful flavour the "chef" thinks is funny. Just buy a steak, stick it on the grill/frying pan and call it a day.
Sometimes the good mixture of tomatoes, onions and ketchup makes it worth enough for me to eat hamburgers. I love gyros too, but the Döner Gyros restaurant here put's less meat and more salad into their pitas. What's worse is when the salad tastes like a tree. And they can't manage to put [B]the most [I]scathing[/I] sauce[/B] into the gyros when asked, it tastes more like mild vinegar than red pepper. We grow more peppery red pepper in our garden which is as scathing as [I]hydrochloric acid[/I]. Once chewed, you can feel [I]literal[/I] hot magma destroying the insides of your mouth which is a [I]more desirable[/I] effect than not feeling anything. As always, moderation is the key.
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50939492]a real problem is that the idea of "choices" present from alternatives is really "exclusives" it seems Origin for instance. If every company could unite under Steam/GOG it would be a lot less of an issue. Or if all the companies would put their games out on all DRMs[/QUOTE] A majority of games are Steam exclusive too though.
I prefer my steak well done, over medium rare.
I get all of my burgers plain Buns, cheese, meat, sometimes bacon, nothing else. If I'm asked how I want it cooked I say medium well
Never been a fan of burgers because I really don't like ground meat. The texture just turns me off of it.
Medium or medium rare for me, whether it's a burger or steak. Also, burgers topped with sauteed onions, lettuce, tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, and jalapenos, are a good mixture to me. On a different note, I think Mimic is a good sci-fi film and I feel that it's underrated. It's not perfect, it's not great, but I enjoyed it.
Its pathetic we can't send a united UK Football team to the Olympics every four years.
[QUOTE=Genericenemy;50946882]Its pathetic we can't send a united UK Football team to the Olympics every four years.[/QUOTE] Don't worry our National Football team is pathetic as well
Medium-rare hamburgers are fine, if not more delicious than well done if done right. A bit of juice and tenderness with onions, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, mustard and mayo hasn't hurt anyone, and its the rare cooked meat you wanna watch out for. And "steak culture" is ridiculous.

I don't like facepunch.
[QUOTE=Rudevinny;50950222]I remember some video where some "famous" "chef" explained the "proper" way to make a burger. The patty ended up being almost as tall as a tin can and he put a [I]pineapple[/I] slice on it. I can understand pineapple on pizza to some degree, I just personally don't like it, but I'm inclined to slap you in the face if you put pineapple on my burger.[/QUOTE] What else was on it? Pineapple on pizza ain't bad, but its shitty if its the only topping.
Microwaves literally ruin food and they don't even work very well, the only upside is how short it takes to warm/cook.
I've had burgers with pineapple on it and they were fine, you just can't take a regular burger and slap a slice on it though, you've gotta match the Burger to it.
I feel like Western tastebuds just aren't used to fruity/sweet flavours with meat. Asian cuisine uses sweetness as a major flavour point in many dishes.
[QUOTE=Headhumpy;50951605]I feel like Western tastebuds just aren't used to fruity/sweet flavours with meat. Asian cuisine uses sweetness as a major flavour point in many dishes.[/QUOTE] Not true in my case
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50950936]Microwaves literally ruin food and they don't even work very well, the only upside is how short it takes to warm/cook.[/QUOTE] If you want to properly ("properly" :v: ) reheat something in the microwave, I highly suggest dampening a paper towel and covering your dish with it. Make sure every part of the paper towel is touching the food, and then let it reheat for a few minutes. It works pretty well, in my experience. Although if you do this with pizza or anything that has cheese on it, some of the cheese will get stuck to the paper towel.

I liked Deus Ex: Invisible War.
[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;50951845]I really do not care about the Gearbox Colonial Marines/Borderlands/etc. drama anymore.[/QUOTE] I do because as a hardcore Alien series fan, Colonial Marines is a huge insult to the series and was such a massive disappointment that it's worth shaming Shitbox for ruining a hugely promising game
It wasn't going to be good even if it had been good. AvP2 is already as good as the Alien IP can get - as a sci-fi universe, it's massively underdeveloped and honestly kind of stupid. At this point, Alien is pretty much the vaporwave of scifi horror - a weird, Giger-inspired fling with bulky CRT monitors and rusty spaceships offhandedly designed by a special effects crew almost four decades ago. It's only still alive because the original film was so groundbreaking.
we still talking about canadian health care? hope you enjoy sitting in the room for sometimes over 13 hours just to talk to a doctor
[QUOTE=Arc Nova;50953461]we still talking about canadian health care? hope you enjoy sitting in the room for sometimes over 13 hours just to talk to a doctor[/QUOTE] on average, if you make $15/hour, it will take about 13 hours of work every month to afford the lowest level of health insurance in the US and, every tax season, you get fined for every month you didn't have some form of coverage (up to around $500 for the year iirc) and if you can't afford the lowest level of insurance, you don't get things like cancer screenings or pills or asthma inhalers I would love to complain about my trips to the doctor's but the truth is I haven't seen one in five years
Oh yeah for sure, States is whacky as fuck but I'm just saying "Free Canadian Health Care" isn't a perfect system either and after the 8th hour of sitting there with a fractured wrist you almost feel like you'd rather pay insane amounts of cash just to stop the wait. Shit's always packed too because people go in for the silliest things and it makes the wait feel that much longer.
You guys are probably going to hate me for this, but I'm wondering whether the "ignorance is not an excuse" sentiment actually holds up entirely/is all that perfect or not. I mean, it's definitely easy to feel that way in a situation where someone unintentionally breaks a very well-known and common law according, but if the law was super obscure and considered ridiculous by most people save for the judge punishing the culprit, I kinda doubt that a whole lot of people would be thinking the same thing. Kind of an extreme example, but hopefully you get my point. I mean, the belief would still hold some validity like other beliefs, but I don't think it's undeniably perfect.

We've just tacked on law after law after law after law, so much so over time that it's become true that the average person commits felonies all of the time without even realizing it. It's not impossible to fix that problem though unlikely. Rome has done it, and the UK has before too. Some obscure laws inevitably will have to exist but some will downright ruin you if you stumble into violating them. And even better, vagueness in a law doesn't automatically get interpreted in favour of the defendent.

[/QUOTE] and yet, even today, every time something bad happens there are thousands of idiots saying that we need new laws banning boxcutters in post offices or requiring mental aptitude tests for lawnmower owners or whatever the fuck. It drives me up the wall. Modern law in America is a fucking joke; it's a combination security theater and fraud scheme. It puts poor people in jail by the hundreds of thousands, while completely failing to punish the rich psychopaths who are trashing the country (to say nothing of top-secret international trade agreements). It ties into the gun control debate in a huge way; violent crime in America is basically at an all-time historic low, but everyone still wants to [i]feel[/i] safer, and they won't stop until they've irreversibly thrown their own rights away. It's weird as hell. Literally everyone hates the government, but they also see it as the only way to advance their ideological front. (Which is, of course, the only way to be an activist. If you're not trying to push change down the throat of everyone you meet, you're not [i]really[/i] a good person.)
I really liked 3D worms and I preferred it to 2D worms, but I think that's because the first one I played was a 3D worms when I was like 10 or something and have a lot of nice memories of those games.
