The Crusader Kings 2 GoT mod is the greatest game I’ve ever played. Its buggy, the character portraits leave something to be desired but I’ve played it for thousands of hours and always find fun stuff to do. CK2 has a lot of menus and the gameplay mechanics take some getting used to but once you’re in, you’re in. You…

Be naked more often. Not in public obviously but if you’re home alone or with a significant other you trust, just walk around naked. I used to only look at myself naked right before and after I showered. I would suck in my gut, roll my shoulders back, flex and generally try to contort my body in the most aesthetically…

GRRM is done with Winds of Winter and probably well on his way with A Dream of Spring. He hasn’t released WoW yet because it would conflict with the show’s hype and affect both the show and book’s profitability. Follow the money...

I think Jon would be a better ruler than Dany, Cersei, Tommen, Joffrey, Robert, the Mad King and probably most of the rulers that preceded them. That’s a pretty low bar. He knows the perils of war and would avoid it with all the tools at his disposal. In the world of GoT, peace is what’s necessary for the smallfolk to…

Weisswurst is the best canvas for constructing the most badass sausage roll I can imagine. Its texture and flavor blends well with pretty much any condiment or topping and with a nice toasted roll or with a pretzel roll and melted cheese.

The first name section of a newborn's birth certificate shouldnt be the canvas on which parents show the world how creative they are. 

Ernie is secretly the funniest of the bunch. This season he’s had some dry one-liners that had me laughing out loud

God bless you, sir

Its mostly about ingredient sourcing in my opinion. There are plenty of people on both coasts who know how to cook excellent Mexican food but LA has better access to better tomatoes, avocados, Mexican-type seafood and there are more, better tortilla manufacturers out west.

I don’t trust a bank that has enough money to piss away on cafe’s and other expensive gimmicks. I feel the same way about insurance companies that can afford to buy up all the most expensive ad space for their high-budget commercials. Is THIS where my money’s going?? Are there people out there who are telling…

I think part of the reason for salary caps and max contracts is also to protect organizations from themselves. If there weren’t a salary cap in the NBA some idiotic, desperate owner and GM would give some marginal superstar some bonkers contract with a trade kicker and bankrupt their franchise.

That pouch looks an awful lot like grenade, or a gun or maybe a bomb. Whatever’s written on it is probably a threat against police officers. Not worth waiting to find out.

This is the correct take. The title is the thesis of this article. CALM DOWN ABOUT SPOILERS. Sure, maybe you want to go into a movie with zero information about what’s going to happen. But people have a right to talk about a movie they just saw and they don’t necessarily have an obligation to tiptoe around those who…

I mean that those people deserve some sympathy and before people report them out of spite or for personal gain they should consider that those fines have real consequences for the drivers. Some trucks with lift gates need to be on or be “idling” in order to operate. If it’s an old vehicle maybe the driver doesn’t want…

Eating plain, fresh raw oysters is one of the greatest delights. Its one of those foods that if I had all the money in the world I could probably eat 100 in one sitting

You’re totally right. He’s extremely skilled and has refined his shooting and driving ability to nigh-perfect levels. But he resorts to this cheesy bullshit which is so hard to watch, not at all in the spirit of the game and makes him one of the most reviled players in the league.

This is so sad and so petty. The lack of self-awareness from Morey, Paul and Harden is staggering. Do they think they’re the first team to have a bad call against them? Fouls are part of the game but so are non-calls. In their minds, there is no scenario where they lose a game and its their fault. Have they also not…

I think there’s still more to come. My suspicion is that Bran is playing more of a big picture game than the rest of our heroes. The white walkers are the foot soldiers of The Great Other (Ice God) while, I suppose, man or perhaps dragons are the soldiers of R’hllor, the Lord of Light (Fire God). The book series is cal…

That’s the real answer. Tbh all her army and the Golden Company would have done is act as additional fodder for the army of the dead only to get resurrected later. She had nothing to gain and everything to lose by marching her army North

I feel for the truck drivers. Idling is bad for the environment and they should turn off the trucks but driving a commercial vehicle in Manhattan is one of the most stressful jobs you could have. Just like the drivers stuck behind them, they’ve got a job to do and places to be. They don’t enjoy having strangers hate…
