Cow is the blandest of the meats.
Because they are bred to be bland animals.
Because they are bred to be bland animals.
What? Cow is awesome, if you prepare it properly.
Take a cast iron pan, a lump of clarified butter or lard, heat it up, put in a big steak and let it sizzle for a minute or so on each side.
Put some sea salt and a bit of freshly ground black pepper on it and you're done.
Veal is also good. Proper Wiener Schnitzel are fantastic.
But yeah, the meat doesn't have a very distinctive taste like venison.

I have a preference for wild animals whenever they are available,
However, I afford McDonalds.
Veal isn't something I've ever striven to have, for the idea of going far out of my lowly peasant ways to indulge in overpriced dead baby meat isn't practical or rewarding in the abstract.
I will say, Venison sausage is so much better than pork or beef sausage.
You know, the ancient nomads say that one doesn't deserve to reap the bounty of the land until one has prepared their souls to be eaten themselves.

Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
*y'all
A friend of mine actually angrily suggested to make an account here, and make a huge deal about what stuck up asses everybody is about FO3, and really show you all.
The main reason I talked him out of it, was that it would somehow, sooner or later, become evident he and me were associated, and I didn't want no drama :0 the 2nd is obviously that it would SOOO not be a new thing, and he was so remarkably convinced it would be revolutionary, and RIGHT in you-alls faces
Which is generally the kind of attitude Fallout 3 fanboys bring to this site. It has been discussed to death, some here don't like the game, some do, who really gives a shit? The reputation NMA has gotten is well deserved. I don't think most F3 fans who come to this site to tell us off really understand a lot of complaints directed at the game. For the record, I don't give a fuck if it is turn-based or not. That ship has sailed. Anyone still lamenting the fact that Fallout is no longer isometric and turn-based, should probably play a different series(Wasteland 2 lulz), or quit whining about it to save us all the heartache.
Fallout 3 was not the game we hoped it would be, but it did revive the series. Frankly I'm sick of hearing about how awful the game was. In retrospect it isn't AS bad as some make it out to be, additionally many of the people complaining about Fallout 3, complained about Fallout 2, so their opinion is null and void. Some people can't be pleased no matter what you do.
If you hate every game in the series except the original then you are extremely hard to please and I'll go the extra mile and say you aren't a true Fallout fan. BAM! I went there. The reason Fallout 3 is even playable and still talked about is due to the active mod scene. Without that the game would already be forgotten. Despite all of that I still enjoyed Fallout 3 for what it was - a post apocalyptic hiking simulator/RPG-lite.
I find it amazing that those who liked Fallout 3, but don't like New Vegas, can't understand why some die-hard Fallout fans like New Vegas better. It may simply be they like the color green instead of orange...oh and RPG's with no C&C.
All of that being said most of this could be discussed in the gaming forum so I'll quickly divert to another topic like...
The feds thinking about reclassifying marijuana to Schedule 2 instead of 1. Sure, it might be killed before it ever gets a chance, but at least they are trying. Medical marijuana users shouldn't have to be afraid of the fucking feds busting down their door, so this is progress in my book.
Actually, the jokes on them though. NMA was alrady toxic a long time before Fallout 3. I mean we can blame Beth for a lot of things, but let us be honest, we all mis Rosh. This lovely evil ball of razor sharp claws.
When it comes to meat, every meat is delicious when you prepare it properly. What really counts, is the quality of meat. I once had such excelent meat that you would have POLUTED it if you included anything else, like even vegetables or sault or what ever. Yes. That's how awesome it was. It came from some farmer who raised goats - it was goat meat. One of the best meat I ever had in my life.

The only thing wrong with NMA is people thinking there's something wrong with NMA.

It really does not matter whether or not it resurrected the series because we are left with only one game that comes even remotely close to first two games. Not to mention the game could have been made by Troika, if Bethesda did not win the bid.
And I am sick of people treating the game like it is Half-Life 2. And that is completely subjective, I think Fallout 3 is even worse than people make it out to be. People "complained" about Fallout 2 because it did not capture the same atmosphere as its predecessor, too many moronic pop cultures references, no way to finish the game without killing anyone, most of all, it was rushed. People complained about Fallout 3 because its story was linear, terrible, and nonsensical, the quests were forgettable and not fun to play, almost every character in the entire game had an IQ less than 10 (makeshift built towns near pre-war towns that could still be settlements
), hilarious bad dialogue and forced voice-acting, and no C&C, which is the most essential part of Role-Playing. So no, their opinions are not null and void because each game had different cons. This is why the hate towards Bethesda is well deserved (sometimes). Their games are poorly designed and unplayable, so their fanbases have to fix their mistakes and improve their horrid games.

Dunno about that. I just recently played Fallout 3 again, my second run after quite a few years. And it was utterly terrible. I really wanted to give it another chance, I really did. The landscape looks fantastic and some of the designs were absolutely spot on. But the writing, the pacing and the gameplay in general. And, O Lord, the bugs. The crashes. Even after fixing the multicore-issue it still CTD'd quite frequently.
I tried to enjoy it. And I enjoy the Bethesda-FPS style of RPG. But, sadly, I just couldn't.

I used to whine about this myself, but looking at it now, it's actually quite pathetic to blame BGS for that. From BGS it was basically Emil P. who decided to get the Fallout franchise, then the soulless lawyers, businessmen and the rest got to work, simply looked at how much other people offered and decided to outbid them all, then greedy Herve Caen saw the dollar signs and jumped on the offer. I don't think Todd Howard, Emil P., and Pete Hines were sitting and plotting how to bring about the downfall of the Fallout franchise and laughing at Troika "hahaha poor losers, bet you wish you had some of our jew gold."
There was choice and consequence, but it was merely cosmetics, nothing game-changing, so yeah. This attitude from BGS won't change, in fact, it will only get worse. Fallout 4 will be an impossible-to-die game, SPECIAL and the very few skills that they won't cut will have no meaning whatsoever. I wouldn't be surprised if they even went as far as cutting the old HP system and introduced to CoD style red vision that you snap out of in a few seconds. I only hope that the writers of BGS will actually start taking their jobs seriously. It seems they are getting worse, and the horrifyingly retarded voice acting certainly doesn't help make the dialogue bearable.
Dunno about that, either. Skyrim, compared to Oblivion, was quite an improvement when it came to gameplay. It cut back on the level scaling of the enemies and remained quite challenging througout, at least to me. And they at least tried to introduce some C&C, although, again, it didn't do much except for changing a few guards around. But in general I'd say Skyrim was a massive improvement over Oblivion, at least in terms of fun I had with it. If Bethesda learns from Skyrim and New Vegas... I think I could enjoy another Fallout made by them.

Hey, Fallout 3 is a nice Mod platform. That much I can say.
Anyway, We tried to end this talk as it belongs in the Fallout 3 subthread and not here.
Back to jizzing your pants while eating Pork ribs.

Anyone ever play the Nameless mod?
It's a mod for Deus Ex, pretty fun though also pretty random, and by random I mean you do stuff like join a cult of goat worshipers or a temple devoted to the llamas and also acquire a weapon that makes people so fat when you shoot them that they explode. But in terms of the bigger picture, you play in a virtual representation of the PlanetDeusEx forum and you are hired by the admin to investigate a kidnapping of a moderator. It all might sound pretty random (and it's called the Nameless Mod for a reason) but at the end of the day it's a pretty expansive game and it's got a nice soundtrack. Here's a trailer
Well, in addition. Corn Flakes or Wheaties?

I only eat Muslii and All Bran with dry fruit. If I eat any of the Sugary sugary sweets my colon becomes a wall.

Bleep bloop.
I already expunged most sugar from my diet, but am avoiding it more and more recently.
Never really cared much about sugar. I don't like weets so much, but I don't avoid it because of health issues. Avoiding sugar leads to avoiding carbs, and that leads to retarded paleo diets which in turn leads to CrossFit.
Fuck that shit.
Well, ok, it can also go the other way 'round. Like, some fat idiot starts CrossFit because a real workout involves form and motivation coming from yourself, and that then leads to voodoo diets.

NMA's local DotA fanatic
I got 2 pages to catch up on... I'll be mercifully brief.
Point number 1, those reddit comments hurt my brain. THAT is toxic, and I'm not gonna touch that with a [insert preferred level of absurd length] pole.
Second point, pig and cow are DELICIOUS!!! They are practically the only 2 kinds of meat sources I eat! =D I'm trying to ween myself onto chicken, but it's slow going. I just made tamales of both pork and beef variety for the first time, on my own, these last couple of days, and I am incredibly delighted and proud of the results. They are FANTASTIC! Salmon is about the only fish I'll actively seek out, but I'll try various cuts of sushi if I find a good sushi place. There are many in So Cal, but not all of them are "good".

While you are right, we have to be fair and say that there really was no other way than to go up after Oblivion. I don't even want to imagine what a worse RPG than Oblivion might be like. Watching paint dry as doter in some retirement home might be more enjoyable. No clue. Skyrim has its strength, sadly it has still to much of Oblivion inside. For example, the writing still sucks big time, the game feels very copy-and-paste and particularly the "epic" quests are anything but not epic. 15 people attacking a town with 20 citizens ... and it's called civil war that might bring the empire to it's knees. Wtf Bethesda. Seriously.

I installed oblivion in 2009 and wrote this about my experience in the Gaming thread.
It is of very poor quality, and I don't recommend reading it.
However, call me a "Conspiracy Theorist." It all came true bitch!
And I can't believe that this "Tech Demo" actually achieved numerous "Game of the Year" nominations.
I started the game, and as the loading screen popped up and the Blinx videos showing the Bethesda logo popped up, it was done in such a way with such beautiful music that for a second my mind went "Ahhhhhh Bethesda....... ooooo uhhh WAIT WTF". This moment revealed a sinister hypotheses about Bethesda. This whole game is about brainwashing. It's as if Todd Howard studied L.Ron Hubbard novels to learn how to make the best selling game.
Then the game proceeded to the main menu, which was pretty, beautiful, and full of LIES! The papurus background and haunting melody of the score, was convincing my lower brain that I just uncovered a flask of ambrosia underneath a Greek monument. What it really was, is a paperbag full of dogshit with the word AMMBROOOZIA written on it with a sharpie.
As I picked myself off the floor after being hit with Todd's enormous ego, I started a new game. I did have a level 11 character from about 3 years ago, but I didn't give a shit. I shouldn't be at level 11 to enjoy a game. It should start whenever I begin. Which is the flaw from the opening level. I am an ugly motherfucker, locked in a dungeon, being verbally raped by a poorly voiced acted darkfag from the cell across from me. Take away all the pretty graphics and the Havok physics chains swinging from the ceiling, and your playing "Deliverance for Air Sign Astrology circa 1200 AD in Universe 3947493" That should be the name of this game, cause it continually fucks you in the ass on an intellectual level. And left here with my ugly ass "EMPERIAL GAARRD" PC, all I can think of doing is turning my PC into a DBZ character, going super-sayian, and destroying the whole planet just to kill the dark elf fucker in the cell next to me.
What happened next is the whole core of Bethesda's brain washing plot. From the corridor I hear Patrick Stewart stroll down towards my cell. All the nerds in the universe would shit themselves in awe, as I did 4 years ago. Then, he looked at me and said, "Let me see your face". From the experience of fucking with my characters skull shape for about 45 minutes, when the camera zoomed in on Patrick Stewart, my ugly ass fucking PC turned into the most attractive character in all of the empire. OMG! I think the nazi party designed this game. It is all false hope and pretty symbols stacked ontop of a giant egotistical bucket of elephant semen.
Then, next was the test of all great RPG's, a meaningful and interactive dialouge engine. But, I was to distracted by the aura of standing in a cell nude with Patrick Stewart to care about the fact that the options for dialouge are "WAT DO I DO" "HOW DO I SHOT GUN" and "HUH?!". Yes, no matter what character you play in Oblivion, they all have the impressive articulation abilities of Keanu Reeves.
After I discovered that I am "The One", I proceeded down one the worst designed, and oddly enough, most beautifully rendered dungeons I have ever experienced in a game, ever. The bloom lighting was so bright, that I'm not surpried that most people who played this game didn't realize that the NPC combatants from "Generic Satanist Badguys Cult number 32" where randomly spawning out of nowhere ontop of cliffs and rooms that had no purpose whatsoever. "Half-Life games have the same problem, but I don't give a shit".
Well the end of the dungeon came, the emperor died, and at the exit I decided to fuck with my characters skull shape again from about 3 hours. So far, I haven't enjoyed a single element of this game besides prison-sex with Patrick Stewart, and I'm to emotinally scared from that incident to comment on it fully. After this pisspoor example of an intro to a game enviroment, I reflected on a memory of how this seemed somewhat similar to something I have played before. Imagine, if you will, if the beginning of fallout 1 involved walking through a cave and punching rats for an hour...... ohh... wait.... it did.... and had shitty graphics comparatively.... why did I enjoy that then? Awnser, that game actually had a combat system. Fallout had the ability to punch rats in the groin for criticals, Oblivion made you have to button mash clunky objects against poorly rendered 3d bloom rats for 4 hours and "Level Up".
Here we are atlast, Fallout and Oblivion have ties to how the game starts, but the ladder seems to be just a shitty rip-off of the technique from Fallout. OMG! IT"S TRUE!!!!!!! BRAINWASHING!!!!. In fallout, I was interested in exploring the enviroment of this well-written cRPG. In Oblivion, when I emerged from my cave, I threw my character into the lake and turned off the console. I had better shit to do.
End Result. This game was made by Satan himself. If you have a copy, nail it to a cross and burn it.
