    Bob legitimately sounds like a great guy. Hope to meet him at the first Surly happy hour. #nohomo, #norepwhore

    Can confirm, bumped into him at a few tailgates and he's always been a good dude. And he even helped organize getting our hats out over the fall

    Love a good OF and like other stuff too.  Was in a cool little whiskey bar in hollywood CA last week called Lost Property.  The bartender was awesome.  Had an OF or two then he said he would make me something.  I like cherries, so he whipped up a "red hook".  real simple, very good:

    Rye whiskey 2 oz
     
    Punt e Mes/vermouth 1/2 oz
     
    Maraschino liqueur 1/4 oz

    Isn't that basically just a manhattan?

  3. Someone critique my old fashioned recipie:

    Add .25 to .5 oz of agave nectar (slightly different mouth feel, no need to worry about sugar crystals not dissolving)
    Add a dash or two of orange bitters
    Add 1oz burbon (currently trying some Belle Meade that's been damn tasty)
    Stir to combine. I have a milk frother/stirrer thing that I sometimes use instead of a stirring spoon that aerates the hell out of it and incorporates the ingredients really well. Not sure how I feel about it yet.
    Add ice cube
    Add 1oz burbon
    Garnish with luxardo cherry and orange peel, expressing orange oils onto rim of glass

    I'm pretty happy with it and my buddies like it, but I'm curious what the shag elite think

    I backed this on Kickstarter but am far more excited to hear about MW5. I played the hell out of 4 and Mercenaries.

    I really REALLY hope that piranha games doesn't fuck up MW5. I used to play the shit out of MWO until they failed to deliver any features besides more paid mechs and monetizations.

    Although they also had some real issues with weapon balance as you are effectively able to put all of your shots on the exact same pixel every time easy peasy. And since they're using tabletop as the basis for weapon damage... it gets out of hand real fast and people were building some monstrosities in the mechlab that were absolutely OP. I haven't followed the game much in the last couple years but I really hope they did away with ghost heat and all of the fuckery they resorted to in attempting to balance their multiplayer

  5. I'm not an apple kool-aid drinker but my fiance is. I'm looking forward to the iPad announcement today since she really wants one to use as a digital textbook and reference lookup for law school shit. And iPads are probably the best-presentation tablet in the game still. Fingers crossed for lower prices or baller specs in the presser

    re: 3rd video:

    isn't mechwarrior set in the battletech universe and not the other way around?

     

     

    Eh, MechWarrior is based on the tabletop game battletech. They inhabit the same canonical universe though. The games have generally been post-clan invasion but there's a ton of good stories and fiction during the 3rd succession wars (3020-25)

  7. I backed on Kickstarter. I used to run a campaign of the tabletop game and have had the opportunity to play this at PAX East and south a couple of times. The devs get it and love the franchise and it's a really faithful adaptation and reproduction of the tabletop experience. I'm psyched for the release next month
