Oh come on, man... the simple ones are always the best. Cheap, simple, AND effective. Example, I can make a WICKED two-egg omelette.

The biggest secret to most of my recipes... Butter, real butter.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I mostly eat precooked food but I make some of my own now and then. It's why I wish I had a man who could cook for me. I eat way too much frozen premade food and such.

[BTGBullseye]

My household goes through about 2 lbs of butter per week...

[Collective Foal]

Yeah, my parents were under the impression that shortening means Crisco. So there's a banana bread recipe we use that requires 2/3 cups of shortening. Well now, when I make it, I use butter and the difference is noticeable, even to my parents, who thought I had drastically changed the recipe and somehow succeeded.

 

A word to all cookers: If a dish calls for shortening, it's healthier AND tastier to use butter. Very few people realize that those "Partially Hydrogenated Oils" are just as bad for you as Trans Fats.

[BTGBullseye]

Butter also has some protein, and many other things that are extremely good for you, including some things that help you loose weight if you're overweight.

People my age think I'm weird if I look at a slice of pizza with a scrutinous eye.

 

People my age I think are weird if they don't try tipping their slice of pizza to one side and watching all of the grease drip off.

And then all the original Tomb Raider games materialized on Steam.

Tomb Raider's controls suck on PS1. Now that I've admitted that to myself, I can resume ogling Lara's conical bewbs.

Hah, you don't need the game for that around here now do you?

I wish I could still make posts like that... *sigh*

I played all the original Tomb Raider games from 1-5 on PC and the controls never sucked for me. In fact, it's one of the action/adventure games I'm best at. Granted I've tried playing it with PS1 controls and it just doesn't feel the same as a keyboard since with a keyboard I have way more options and hotkeys to weapons and such.

[Pinkie Pie]

Wait, five? I thought there were six that were part of the 'original' canon.

 

Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider II

Tomb Raider III

Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation

Tomb Raider: Chronicles

and Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness

 

Unless you mean you've only played THOSE specific first five games on PS1.

[BTGBullseye]

I never understood the hype about the Laura Croft series.. (except for the boobs part)

Angel of Darkness was the first attempt of rebooting the franchise, thus I don't consider it part of the original canon. Mostly because the game sucked and failed to capture the fun of the first five games.

Alyxx is just in it for the boobies.

 

Look, I found her two favorite things in the universe, IN ONE PICTURE!

Hey I already have that picture framed on my wall. XD

 

Just kidding, but that's an awesome picture indeed.

 

And yes, Lara's boobs are as awesome as Nukem's shades but I also love her for her badass attitude and because she has a freaking mansion. Any woman who owns a mansion is awesome in my book.

[Pinkie Pie]

And a freakishly oversized bed. Seriously, I don't think if you even jump Lara can get on it.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, I love her bed XD

[Mr. ShinyObject]

Yeah, I love her bed XD
