Turns out Krackles and Java Stout go really well together.

You mean like this one up the road from Indianapolis on Pendleton Pike?

What candy do you like so much that you will shamelessly steal it from your kid's stash tonight after they go to bed. For me: Take Five candy bars. Mmmmmmmmm salty sweet goodness. Oh, and Reese Cups. No, not that I would actually steal my kids candy! What kind of terrible parent do you think...

Its not just the $350. It's the $350 plus what I spent at Gen Con plus all the other gamer books I bought this year plus all the new brewing equipment I bought this summer plus the family trip to Cancun in January plus... Well, you get the idea. I have too many hobbies.

Did you say Catan... Online? Sweet.

I'm putting the finishing touches on a scenario for a Dread game Friday night. Any hints on character questions? Mind posting the questions you had for the Morro Castle game?

I'm getting the distinct impression that the Chalfant Budget Committee will be unfriendly to any requests for emergency entertainment payments of that magnitude until at least the new year. In other words: My wife gave me that look when I mentioned it.

This weekend I went into a custom PC shop where my friend gets all of his gaming PCs and I had a system spec'd out. Damn. Ok, I don't have $1800. That's my fault for going to a place that makes custom gaming PCs! I'm leaning toward the $350 Xbox 360. Maybe they'll drop the price before I get...

My wife tells me I'm full of it. I misremembered. We made a desert with creme de cassis. Still, I don't see why you couldn't throw in some fresh fruit and cook off the alcohol and make something similar to a compote.

Are you saying you can't even connect these up to a non HDTV or that you can but its not really worth it?

More grist for the discussion mill... I don't have an HD capable TV. I have to wait for my current TV to die or when we finish our basement (several years out yet). So that's not so much of a draw for me. Considering I don't have the time and money I used to (going from DINKs to two kids and a...

I've been without a decent gaming PC for quite a while now and I'm going through withdraw symptoms. I thought a PS2 would scratch the itch, but its just been a quick fix. I can't play any of the modern games! So what should I go for? The PC is the most expensive but it opens up the possibility...

That sounds awesome! Can you post a recipe?

Put it on icecream. Or cook off the alcohol and make a sauce.

It's finally starting to act like October here in Indiana (instead of late May!) and the thought of hearty winter comfort food is making me hungry. For me, I think its a toss-up between chili and our beef and noodles recipe cobbled together between my Mom's and my Mother-in-law's recipes.

I bought a very inexpensive Tempranillo several weeks ago and finally got around to drinking it Sunday night. It was great! But we threw the bottle out and I don't know the winery. It was from Spain, though. It was only my second Tempranillo and now I love this varietal.

Interesting. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all the negative responses. We gamers are a stingy lot. If I played in a game store pickup game and the GM put out a tip jar, I would be amused at the idea but I wouldn't say I'd be offended. If it was a fun game, I might put a buck or two in. I...

I'm going to start running monthly rpg sessions at a local game cafe with an open sign up. I considered sticking out a GM tip jar to help offset the costs of game books and supplies. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it and I certainly wouldn't hound people to tip. If you played in a game and...

Wasn't there a guy around here that actually did get paid to DM?
