    I haveve been playing a lot of Old School Runescape lately. I just can't get enough of grinding for progress. Especially when playing as an ironman (Can't trade other players) as the game really opens up and feels even larger that way. This game provides one of the most rewarding experiences when unlocking new stuff, in my opinion.

    Another i have been playing is the Metal Gear legacy collection. got through MGS and am working on MGS2 now. MGS had the absolute most creative and interesting boss mechanics i have ever encountered. Do not sleep on this old PS1 game, although the controls feel quite clunky compared to a modern game.

    I haven't spoken to my mother for a few years. I always felt like she wasn't quite right in the head, and it all came out when she decided to run off with some random guy, and attempt to take everything my father owns, along with manipulating my sister and i to basically try to rob him. At one point it occured to me what she was doing, and i stopped responding to any mails, SMS', or calls. My sister soon did the same and we both agree it has helped improve our daily life dramatically. I no longer go around feeling immense guilt over nothing, i'm less generally anxious, and i have a much better sense of self now.

    Redlettermedia. They make great movie reviews with a bunch of dry sarcasm, called half in the bag. They also do a series called best of the worst where they watch terrible b-movies and discuss them. What they're most known for is probably their 70 minute phantom menace review done in the character of Mr. Plinkett - an old serial killer

    It seems to work well for redlettermedia. They're all men in their 30s or 40s and they review movies

    Thank you very much! question: is there a difference between the regular yeast used for baking (the lump or the dry stuff) and brewing yeast?

    Also do you know of any places i can find a suitable container for brewing in? Could i theoretically just go buy a big plastic bucket with a lid, or would that be a very bad thing to do?
