  2. Just asked that this thread not be stickied but not be deleted, either. Mod 8 told me that this would be possible. I'm assuming this won't work on requesting mass threads, but I thought I'd let you all know. After all, it would be obvious that exchange took place come Monday.

    Discuss food and tea with wild abandon, friends!
  3. Also "Eat Pray Love".

    ...

    I don't care, either, but some people will. Point is: August 13th will be the most epic movie weekend ever.

    And I'm with Scott all the way.

    So, it's American McGee's Alice? I'm down.

    Okay, now THAT is awesome.

    It's a romantic comedy told from the perspective of a kid that grew up on old school video games. Everything's told through gamer analogies. So in the other romantic comedy, the guy would have to convince the girl to let go of the past and embrace the future. In Scott Pilgrim, he has to defeat her ex in an epic fight that tracks combos, scores, and hit gauges. Winner gets the girl. Loser turns into coins and experience points.

    The movie's going to weave together romantic comedy tropes with video game tropes at the speed of a seamstress of crack. Have you seen the trailers? Most of the movie is something that, like Inception, has to be experienced more than explained...
  9. The article.

    Break it like a kit-kat, foo's. Here's the skin-dilly-yo: It's the full length trailer. Click on anything you want in the trailer and pull up a feature related to it. Could be commentary, could be a featurette, could be something totally random! Essentially, a good and thorough clickin' will net you more special features than most DVDs.

    Each find is worth 1,000 points. Net a high enough score and watch a certain exclusive scene form the movie.



    Get to clickin'!
  10. It stars the lady who played "Violet Baudelaire". As far as I'm concerned, the fact that it's independently amazing is just their showing off. They already sold me on the casting.

    Emily Browning, will you marry me? This is the real thing here.

  13. Whether at work or at home, I typically have two monitors available. As such, I have something from Hulu playing on the other window.
  14. I'm moving my Villain to experience a very specific arc and see a very specific scene. After that, I'm going back to Redside.

    Villains, yo.
  15. Okay, so this is now the official food thread. I can roll with that.
  16. I'm getting the impression we should make a generic "Cooking" thread soon...

    Much like the Gengar, who fought far past its own.

    I think this was my mistake. I was putting it in hot water (from the company water dispenser) and leaving it for "a bit of time". I didn't realize it needed to be so precise.

    Will continue perusing jokes.

    And Teldon? You just nailed the reason I was scared to post in the first place. I remember when I first started making tea and was tweeting references to... shall we say "Halo's Multiplayer"? It was funny until my partner contacted me and asked me to explain them, as they had never heard that phrase before.

  22. Yes, subject line. Yes, it's on topic.

    I've come to realize that Tea, like Wine, is a subculture. What's more, it's one to which I was so blind, I didn't know it existed.

    The more I talk about it, however, I hear from "Tea experts" and people that advocate it as more than a drink: It's part of a lifestyle.

    Silly me, my tastes are dull. My tea, when I make it, simply tastes like glorified water.

    So, here's the question: Tea experts: Can you instruct me on the ways, do's, and don't's of appreciating this apparently miraculous elixer? What do I need to know to start? What teas are "good", which are "bad", and what questions would I be asking if I knew more?

    Again, my desire to have Tea comes sincerely and entirely from its constant recurrence in geek culture. As such, I do believe that it is on-topic, if admittedly unusual.
