i believe green tea kitkats also exist and are scrumptious

 

[Xivii]

That does sound good. Green tea is good if it has extra flavah.

 

[The Star King]

Japanese ice cream is awesome. Green tea is a mediocre flavor, though.

I agree with NixxxoN, even though he's biased . Mediterranean food is perfection.

 

[malva00]

you should have some rose ice cream

so good

any good movies lately?

 

[ballin4life]

I'm probably going to be in New York City for a day or two for a job interview coming up.

If anyone around there wants to play I might be able to.

 

[JaimeHR]

What you guys think about "The Rite" movie? It got a lot of hype in my country (well almost everything here gets too much hype), I haven't watched it yet but most movie review sites agree that the only good thing about it is Anthony Hopkins' performance.

 

[Battlecow]

Also I am interested to hear Battlecow's opinion on the upcoming Live Action Captain America movie. Do you have as much discontent towards it as most Anime fans have towards, say, Death Note Live Action?

I think that in general, comic book nerds are super excited whenever there's a live-action movie about their favorite comic, and super bummed when it doesn't pan out (which is usually). This whole marvel movies thing is building up to an Avengers movie, and if they do that right it could be the greatest thing ever. Or it could suck.

I've loved some of the recent Marvel movies (like the spider-man ones) and hated others (OH GOD WHY DID ANYONE LIKE IRON MAN?). The trailer for this Captain America movie was pretty bad, but then, the True Grit trailer was awful, and it was my favorite movie of the year.

So nah, I don't mind. Mostly because Captain America comics/cartoons/live action movies have been done so much in the past that this won't make or break canon one way or the other. We could get a good movie or a bad one, and I can't tell which.

 

[ballin4life]

What's wrong with iron man?

 

[Battlecow]

The fight scenes. Bleeeeeeh. They might as well have called it The Adventures of Tony Stark, Debatably Funny Guy in a Suit. In the first one, he pretty much wins by flying into space so that Obadiah's suit freezes. Please. And in the second one his enemy could literally have been killed by ANYONE WITH ANY KIND OF FIREARM AT ANY TIME, and the minions were robot suits with apparently no ability whatsoever to kill or hurt him or war machine. Willful suspension of disbelief only takes me so far.

Then again, I loved Green Hornet, which everyone else hated. So maybe I just have terrible taste.

 

[Dragoon Fighter]

I was thinking of playing RPG with my brother and using this game as a medium of how the battles is carried out.

Link would be a swordsman.
DK would be a hand to hand fighter.
But WTF would Pikachu be? (Mage?)

 

[B Link]

of course he would be mage he's got the wizard hat and a tail and can shoot lightning

 

[Fynal]

yus defenately

lightning mage with teleport-y ability (upB)

but what is mario... or for that matter jigglypuff

 

[sharksquail]

Jigglypuff is a bard/minstrel. obv.

 

[Dsc]

127 hours is a good movie

 

[The Star King]

Mario can be a fire mage/hand-to-hand mix.

 

[King Funk]

I wish other people than Battlecalf commented on my videos. -.-

 

[Surri-Sama]

Fox dah gunslinger?

 

[Peek~]

DK the jester

He fights when he feels like it

 

[The Star King]

Ness can be a fire/lightning/psychic mage, and also use hand to hand attacks and weapons like the Baseball Bat.

Ness for top tier.

 

[sharksquail]

Kirby is a eunuch.

 

[asianaussie]

I've always found it amusing that in the actual RPG he came from, Ness had no fire or lightning magic, and he was basically a hand-to-hand specialist using baseball bats (yet his F-Smash only just qualifies as useful in 64 >_>). In terms of characters he probably is top tier in Earthbound, since the rolling HP makes high HP even better.

You gotta watch it all the way to the end; otherwise you won't get anything like the full effect.

And i know it's a completely different style :o

 

[th3kuzinator]

Green tea kit kats...

who would have thought they were actually that good?

 

[Surri-Sama]

Every time i think of green tea the taste i get in my mouth makes me want to be sick

 

[th3kuzinator]

[Fynal]

i tried green tea once when i was like 8

i thought it would taste like limeade, cuz it was green

but no. it was disgusting. i spit it out on the floor and got a time out or something.

it was psychologically damaging, in fact to this day i still hate tea

 

[AtotheZ]

The cool thing about tea is that there are so many flavors

 

[The Star King]

it was psychologically damaging, in fact to this day i still hate tea

Black tea is waaaay better than green. Don't hate all tea just because of green :/

 

[ballin4life]

Green tea is pretty healthy apparently.

I don't usually drink caffeinated beverages and I don't really like tea in general, but one of my tutors at Oxford always would make me tea which was pretty cool

 

[asianaussie]

real green tea is bitter as hell

and also addicting as hell

chinese black, accept no substitutes

*am chinese and thus am elitist about tea*

 

[Battlecow]

Pretty sure the Brits *****-slapped you, hooked you on opium, took the "best-tea" crown at cannon-point, and grabbed a whole bunch of money while they were at it back in the day. They have the best tea. I don't like it, but what's a guy to do?

 

[Surri-Sama]

I think Sri Lanka has the best tea

 

[asianaussie]

British tea is a travesty. I'll accept it as a beverage, but not as anything nearing real tea. The taste is so weak it falls out of the tea category and into the category of polluted water. They add milk to it. Why? Because it's just slightly tangy water without it. If you're going to spoil pristine water with flavouring or contaminants, at least use natural ones, not tea bags.

Spoiler

I know tea leaves are processed too, shut it.

Battlecow, you seem to like attacking everything I say about any of my nationalities, which happen to include a weak American link - are Americans that insecure about their self-proclaimed superiority?

 

[Battlecow]

Of course we are. Incredibly insecure. That's one of our major flaws, along with brash arrogance and nouveau tackiness.

I'll concede the tea point, because like any good American, I stick to A&W, Coke, and Whiskey, with a hearty glass of milk once in a while, so I guess I was just judging based off of China's tea history (which mainly consists of having their tea snatched by brits). Sorry. I'll take your word for it and drink genuine chinese tea if I ever have to drink it at all.

As a great woman once said, "My history is a delicate cup of Chinese tea."

 

[The Star King]

Don't take his word for it. European tea rules.

AA seems to be under the impression that Europeans ONLY use tea bags, never tea leaves.

But yeah Battlecow is pretty insecure about America's superiority

P.S. Milk in tea is lame though, real men use lemon.
