~*~ Goons With Spoons ~*~
Reppin': Mr. Wiggles
If you've gotten as far as to read Internet articles about Internet forums (as you apparently have) but you're still not killing yourself by eating dishes of incredible unhealthiness devised by fellow Internet people, well I just don't know what to do with you.

Its tea time! - Have you ever had tea? It's very good! There's a whole world out there which you are just stepping into.

The sad state of food in Tajikistan - "The national dish, savored and loved, is "osh". The word means both "rice" and "food" interchangeably. This is big-time huge popular, as in

"Kids, we're having osh tonight!!!"
"Yaaay! Osh!"

Here's literally the complete recipe: boil some rice and some greasy mutton in water, toss in shredded carrots. Pour cottonseed oil to saturate and give it a blinding gleam. Serve. No spices, no herbs, nothing. This is the national dish. I will admit, this is probably part of the reason Tajiks have absolutely gorgeous glossy hair."

Regional Delicacies - If you have great food native to where you live, and which isn't found a lot of other places, post about it here. Unless you live in St. Lewis, in which case you have no idea what food is and are to be pitied.

Fictional food! - This food does not exits, but it should.

~*~ Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse ~*~

ADTRW gets a smaller title than the others because it has a large name and also anime dudes weird me out.

Ressentiment - Summary: "He's squeezing his package while he eats again!! What's his problem?!"

SaiMoe 2007: Putting the "Wank" back in "Fanwank" - Damn it ADTRW, not again. (PS go Suigintou)

Baccano! - An anime revolving around ADTRW superstar NegativeZero.

~*~ Games ~*~

It's our video games forum! What more do you want from me?!

Nerd Capital, Akihabara [img heavy] - Interested in old video games? Of course not, but what about maid costumes, perverse simulations, and people who value anime DVDs over personal hygiene? Welcome to Akihabara.

Favorite Trailer for a Videogame? - I think the Duke Nukem Forever trailer (1998) is exhilarating. Fingers crossed that the final version delivers a game that lives up to the trailer!

Graphically, what exactly is the Wii capable of? - Looking for an in depth analysis about hardware? Too bad! Instead, check out this uninformative thread that includes but is not limited to: people who think the Wii can output at HD resolutions, someone who chides Nintendo for making a profit larger than NASA's budget, and a few people who see no difference between Wii and Atari 2600 screenshots.

Go West! (and die horribly) - Let's Play Oregon Trail 2 - Everyone has played the original, but did you know Oregon Trail 2 includes monumental upgrades such as the ability to choose new occupations?

YCS Confession Time - I own a PS3 .

That's it for now! Come back next week and I won't break your arms! I'm not implying that I would break your arms if you didn't come back, I'm just saying that I'm guaranteed to not break them if you do.
