My best guess is that it’s just not very interesting when a black person kills other black people. It’s sort of like Game of Thrones (no spoilers ahead, don’t worry). A male character can be subjected to all sorts of crazy violence, and we’re just desensitized to it because there’s so much of that all over the place.…

For some reason, my potatoes always come out underdone when I roast them with the meat (unless I’m using a slow cooker, in which case I’m usually braising anyway) Any pointers?

You have clearly never met my furry little moron Pepper, and her determination to eat literally anything that could possibly hurt her.

I usually use the vegetable trick you mentioned at the end, carrots specifically. Mostly because I always have a TON of carrots lying around.

All this kerfuffle about the Vault Guy in the trailer having a set face and voice reminds me of another game that had a male voice actor and a default face for the main character, but still let you play as a woman with any combination of facial features you want. Maybe you’ve heard of it: Mass Effect?

Calm down about…

I think the appeal comes from the fact that it lets people like my alcoholic aunt feel superior to rocket scientists and physicists for an hour each day. Which doesn’t make the show any less revolting.

I’m just going to cross my fingers and hope that my current PC that already struggles a little with New Vegas isn’t hopelessly outclassed by the system requirements for F4. And while I’m waiting, I’ll go see if my unicorn traps have caught anything.

Yes, a fellow Mako appreciator! There was just something so satisfying about running over a Geth, then jumping the Mako up and down on them to see if it would do extra damage.

But what if they’re only recommending these locks to make their jobs easier, since they secretly know exactly how to defeat them? </tinfoilhat>

I was horrified the first time that I opened a tall can of salmon and found a goddamn fish skeleton in it.

Canadian parachutes not only get you to the ground, but they also apologize for the fact that you were falling to begin with.

Now that I think about it, Leia and Obi-Wan were never on the Falcon at the same time. I’m not bringing it up to nit-pick this awesome diorama to death; it’s just something I never noticed before.

“Who’s a good crime boss? Yes you are! Yes you are!”

I know! If you feel weird about putting your arm around someone you’re getting a picture with, do something else with that arm.

I was shocked when he turned up in Season 2 of Downton Abbey.

I’m not sure if this counts as an exploit, but in early stages of FTL you can sometimes find yourself up against an enemy who has no chance of getting through your shields. Make sure you have a crew member in Engines and/or Shields, and go make a sandwich while the XP rolls in. You can do the same with your weapons as…

Chickens do have tiny wishbones, and they’re just as much fun as one from a turkey. Also, they have oysters. Also-also, the next time you roast one, stick tons of holes in a (washed) lemon and shove it up the chicken’s butt first for a little added flavour.

EDIT: I didn’t notice I was replying to the same person who…

Good point; if you’re using a Fatality, you’ve already won.

In defense of the bulge: you can bet your ass that if I ever start fighting crime as a vigilante, I’ll be doing it with the sturdiest cup money can buy.

I was wondering if anyone would comment on that!
