What goes well with biscuits? A brushing of oil or egg wash I'd imagine? Maybe a sprinkling of cheese :P that melts and glazes the top.
|
I really like the chick fil a chicken biscuits in the morning.

HOLY zomg, that looks good. The closest thing we have to that here is at a place called Popeye's, not sure if it exists in the States or whatever :\ Southern food is amazing though. |
I miss Chick-fil-a! It was so good when I lived on the eastern side of the country. I wish they would expand over to the west side already. The closest thing is probably Popeyes like what BlahISuck said, but it's not the same...
|
Doesn't Chick Fil A not like gay people or something? If they give me chicken and biscuits I'm still going though. I find Popeye's portion sizes to be small, though I like their fries all spiced up and good.

Hmmm I see. They can look good for giving out free food, or look horrible by giving out unnecessary free food to people who don't support legalizing gay marriage. Dammit free chicken. I'd do anything for free chicken - no that doesn't make any sense.
|
I have never really been a fan of Chik-Fil-A because I have always found their chicken to be really greasy and not to mention that I don't like what they stand for. I guess that their waffle fries are ok, but it has been years since I have eaten at the place.
|
There's one in my university and one really close to my house. Nevertheless I've only been accustomed to Chick fil a recently.
|
I've went to Chik-Fil-A only once in my entire lifetime. My dad took us there for lunch couple of years ago. My mom and dad went for the special asian salad, and my sister and I had two chicken wraps each. The wraps tasted all right, but I found them to be a little too salty. And for dessert, we've all had cookies and cream milkshake. They've added a lot of whip cream on our shakes, but I was absolutely fine with it though. I love whip cream! (:
|
McDonald's got these new wraps out now :P They aren't very filling though... and they're pretty expensive.
|
McDonald's wraps aren't new. xD They've had them for a while now. Maybe about five to six years. I've had their grilled chicken wrap once before, and it was a lot better than the one from Chik-Fil-A. Wraps are heather than regular burgers, I think, since they have more vegetables and less carbohydrates. d:

Haha if you go for three chicken jr's, yes. Especially when they go crazy on the spicy mayo. We've gotten these new full-size wraps, they go on the main menu in addition to their snack wraps :P
|
The wraps have been around for...this decade. It's new but not *that* new. Never tried them though. xD
Also tomorrow is my niece's 6th birthday party, which is why I've been semi-active this week. You are all invited. Bring snacks and stuff. |
How would you react when I show up at your front door? What if I brought a present? As for food, I'd probably bring 'Covered Bridge' kettle chips. They are ohmygawd so good and unique tasting. Probably lobster flavour, cuz you don't get much of that down there.
|
Earlier I made myself another philly cheesesteak, I need to stop craving it because the ingredients run out pretty quickly and it's not exactly healthy.
|
I'll bring yoooou... three bags of Chips Ahoy! chocolate chip cookies. The chewy kind. Do you like those? o: I'll bring a gigantic bag of Doritos, too. I love those stuff. Maybe I'll get the Cool Ranch one. If I can't find it, then I'll go for Nacho Cheese. Either that, or Spicy Nacho. Also, tell your niece that I wished happy birthday to her. ^^
|
You guys are all invited to mine in 2 days too! Bring cookies!
Wish your niece a happy birthday for me Megan! |
Hahaha my birthday's the day after Nathan there. So yeah I hope you all know what to bring on that first day of October, even if I might be slow with replying to VMs as I'll be going out due to social activities for part of the day. So yeah I might be invisible here like I am right now at the time of this post.
And happy birthday for ya niece Megan! |
I'll bring you some:
http://www.canadiansnackattack.com/assets/images/piratecookies.jpg PIRATE COOKIES! Don't wish your niece a happy birthday from me, because that would be creepy especially because it's from me. |
Birthdays?
Never personally felt much need for anything major, on 'em. I don't know, just never did. What're you doing for your's, Nathan? |
Going to school. Not gonna throw a big party. So I say the usual routine.
|
I'm glad that I'm not the only one, Roc. I mean, you're celebrating being a year closer to your death. Real fun. I:
I don't really do anything for my birthday, and it slightly irritates me when other people try to make a big deal of it. ...On an unrelated note- I've spent my evening working on an animation. All of this time for a 2.84 second clip that doesn't even make sense yet. I have a feeling I'm going to get bored before I have much practice haha. |
I wish people made a big deal about my birthday. It'd be nice to feel what that's like, to be super duper person for just one day of the year. Of course, super duper dads and sisters looking out for their babies make it happen :D
|
My last birthday was celebrated alone.
|
I've never had those Pirate cookies before. I haven't seen them in any grocery stores, either, actually. I may be able to find them if I look for them hard enough, but I'm not completely sure. They look extremely delicious, though! I love peanut butter! (:
My birthday is on October 28th, which is exactly in thirty days. We're going out to the movies to celebrate. When we are done, we'll probably go to a nice-looking restaurant and have ourselves some dinner. |
They might be Canadian cookies, so who knows? :P I hope you guys get maple cookies though, those are awwwwwwesome ^^
What movie are you gonna go for? And are you gonna go for a nice big steak? ^^ I went to a sushi buffet for my birthday - not on my birthday though, and had a nice big steak... it didn't have much to do anything but it was soooome food. |
I wish I could have all the cookies, but my cookie knowledge isn't the best around.
I'm thinking of something nice tonight, anyway. |
I've never had any maple cookie, unfortunately. D: I did have some apple cookies before, though. It smelled kind of like a real apple, and it was very sweet. It tastes even better if you put peanut butter on it, or maybe even regular butter. I've tasted some cinnamon cookies in the past, too.
I'm not exactly sure we're going to have for dinner, to be honest. xD We're most likely going to order whatever's special on the menu. A steak does sound good, though! I haven't eaten any steaks in about six to seven months. |
Mmmm I just love the feeling of sinking teeth into flesh. I think I've said this before, but it feels like it awakens my primal urges of man conquering nature. Any other meat lovers here?
|
I love steaks that are well-done. They're even better if they actually turn out to be a little burned, in my opinion. xD My dad is a big fan of rare steaks, though. I've tasted a rare steak with him once a few years ago, and it tasted... blegh. ): I have no idea what makes him dig these kind of steaks so much. Plus, if rare/undercooked meat remain exposed for more than five to ten minutes, they start developing bacteria, which could leave you with an upset stomach.
|
I think I've had a medium rare before :O It makes meat taste more like meat, so it's good to get a really high quality steak and cook it yourself. Once it starts getting more done, the taste kinda goes away. Yeah I still don't have the guts to make a rare steak of my own.
|
The one that I tasted was very rare, I think. It wasn't medium rare. xD I don't like it at all when blood (or red juices, as people like to call it) get all over my mouth when I'm eating these type of steaks. It makes me feel like some sort of an evil witch, haha. It makes me want to throw up a little, too.
|
Medium rare, rare; all of this is nonsence to me. I don't even like steaks that much and I much prefer fried chicken and kebab meat (which I had for dinner yesterday, tasted great with bbq sauce but was very greasy).
Plus, the only cooking skills I have involves shoving things into a microwave. |
Rarity can be defined by how much of the meat looks "red", I think it goes in steps of ~25%. So well done is all brown, medium is 25%, medium rare is 50%, and rare is 75% red. And then the meat gets all gelly, like raw tuna or salmon or something.
But mmm fried chicken need myself sum fried chicken :D' |
I eat fried chicken once every three - four months. I love fried chicken, but I'm not a big fan of their calories. ): A single piece of fried chicken contains about one to three hundred calories, depending on the size. Baked chicken are a lot better than fried ones. They may not taste as good, but they contain about seventy-percent less calories. They are simply a lot better for the heart. d:
|
Yes! I actually remember that from Wii Fit, it told me a leg of fried chicken was 275 cal XD and that's how much I tried to work off every time! Chicken is just a plain superfood lol. All that protein and all that taste.
|
I probably eat chicken more than anything else. I just love the taste of it especially when my mom makes her teriyaki and lemon chicken. omg I could eat that stuff all day long ;~;
|
Oh my, I like eating chickens. I usually eat it when my mom made steamed chicken or some sort, and when in fastfood restaurants where I eat fried chicken. Boy, you guys made me hungry.
|
I love fried chicken, but only if it's from KFC or any buffet place in Chinatown. Places like Dallas or Favourite have the worst fried chicken I've ever tasted. Eurgh.
|
My favorite type of fried chicken are the one that are made with the usual white flour. Those that are made with whole wheat flour have some sort of a bad smell, and they taste a little bitter most of the time. The bitterness goes away when you fry these chicken with a lot of oil at a low temperature, but they just end up making the chicken more unhealthy. D: Wheat flour are meant to make things more healthy for you, but unfortunately, all the healthiness go away when you fry your food.
|
Seriously? There is whole wheat fried chicken? I never eat this type before, for sure. Although if speaking for whole wheat, I prefer the whole wheat bread more than the plain bread.
|
I can't recall the last time I had fried chicken, although I think I did have a chicken schnitzel burger last month for dinner because I was going out to meet up with old school friends. Had some mayo with it for extra flavor. These days I usually like to go for the healthier options, like grilled. It's what I prefer when I have fish and chips, I tend to go for the grilled options over the fried.
|
Fish and chips? These are one of my fave meals, especially because I like eating many fish, and because I heard somewhere that fish is healthier to eat than chicken's. My mom sometimes makes Fish Nuggets, that I enjoy eating.
|
I don't really like dealing with fried chicken. Tends to be super greasy to the touch...
|

This is pretty much how I feel about it. The only fried chicken that I really like is the kind my mom makes which is oven fried. It has the taste of fried chicken, but it isn't greasy so it is much healthier. |

Every single time I come to this thread the discussion is about food. I'm impressed. I love chicken but it's expensive and hard to get hold of good quality at student pricing haha, I tend to use tuna for everything now - much cheaper and just as yummy!
|
Good for brain power too.
|
Tuna can get old fast, though. I love the taste of tuna, but it's not for every day.
|
Quote:
And I used to have tuna everyday in 5th grade, heh. |
I like to think that there are good tuna and bad tuna.
|
Uh, food again.
Coming from a great lover of food, you guys talk about it too much. :I It's not even generally talk about best place you've had a souffle, or the wonders of street food, or how amazing meat seared on a food cart's grittles is. (The beauty of it's dripping juices as it's lifted and turned, the mouth-watering taste that you can't seem to get anywhere else... :L) D: Not trying to be mean, just raising a point. |
There's many kinds of tuna, all of which contain heavy metals. Albacore's the lovely white one and tends to have more mercury, but the others aren't particularly better. I still limit my intake of tuna to maximum two cans a week :\ and that's for what I think is the lowest-mercury variety.
Hey, are you trying to outfoodie us? |
Eeeeh, no.
I unfortunately rather recently met a large amount of people who call themselves foodies. Yeah, that put me off the word. Since I'm not a chef quite yet, I'm just a guy who likes food. I wasn't really trying to 'Out-Foodie' you, more like ask: "We've talked about Kool-Aid, where's the people who aren't afraid of eating Puffin?" |
LOL on the topic of Kool-Aid, I can't remember the last time I had Kool-Aid. Does anybody remember Kool-Aid Jammers with the clear pouches? And then they got the opaque metallic pouches XD Oh those were the days...
|
Oh, I give up. xI
Imma stop being a food snob and just go. |
We can take you out of the foodie but can't take the foodie out of you XD
Seriously though, those Kool-aid Jammers were a very important part of our childhood. Call it a cultural legacy. |
^I've never had one in my life.
|
You're honestly not missing out on much. The thing is garbage in a pouch.
I do vaguely remember the clear pouches though, about a decade ago. Damn. i should really do my homework smh |
No it was not, how else would I know what blue raspberry tasted like D: they were almost as valuable as yu-gi-oh cards, if I remember correctly.
|
I drank a Kool Aid jammers pack once or twice in my life. Capri Sun ftw yo.
My childhood growing up while in elementary school was watching Kids WB on Saturday mornings and playing games on the Game Boy Advance. |
I used to have kool-aid jammers every day. I really liked those things.
My childhood was pretty much spent outside, hanging out with friends all day. Biking over to wherever we wanted to go. Then everything changed when the video game nation attacked. XD |

I'm not much for FPS. I've been told I have good instincts about the games and that I could probably become really good with some practice, but I just get so bored after two rounds of multiplayer.
The first video game system I got was an original xbox. We spent all day playing it, my dad got so mad at us. I used to play a few MMORPG's, my main one being Runescape, but I grew out of it eventually. Pokemon Showdown is about how multiplayer I get nowadays. |
I'm not that good at FPS games myself, but I still play them anyway. I find them to be a lot of fun, and it's just a great way to kill time. :) Plus, it's always hilarious to hear people's reactions on the microphone when they're killed or when they've done something wrong.
My first home video game console was an SNES. My dad bought it for me as one of my birthday gifts, and he used to play it with me as well whenever he had free time on his hands. I still have this console down in my basement somewhere, but I'm not completely sure if it still works or not. I hope it does, though! |
Man, in terms if FPS, I got so addicted to headshots that for a while, I would completely restart the game if I missed. Now I can shot the head off a running enemy unit/whatever at fifty paces. With a handgun. Or an assult rifle. Or shotgun. (Aim high.) yougetthepoint
I really love strategy, puzzle, fighting, racing. . . Pretty much any game that involves the prerequisite of actual skill, not just grinding levels. (ButIstillreallylovepokemon) |
I'm okay at FPS but that's it. When I play with my friends who are good at FPS I usually get owned pretty often.
|
My favorite video game genre has gotta be RPG. My favorite games from this particular genre are Legend of Zelda (well, it's actually action-adventure, but I still consider it to be an RPG since you're playing the role of Link), Assassin's Creed (this is an action-adventure as well, but... y'know), Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, and of course, Pokémon!
Some of my other favorite genres are racing, puzzles, open world, sandbox, platformer, and party. |
I'm decent at FPS games and I really like them!
My favorite genre is the RPG one just like Perdition there. Games like Final Fantasy, Zelda, Pokemon and so much great games that aren't in the lights. I love RPGs <3 |
My favorite genre has to be either RPG or Puzzle. Pokemon is my favorite RPG, but Portal 2 is my favorite puzzle game. I haven't played the original Portal, but I want to so badly.
I loved Portal 2 so much! If you haven't played it, you need to. Even if it's not your type of game, it's wit and charm really put it above the other puzzle games. That game had me laughing so much. I would go on about pokemon, but I'm pretty sure everyone already knows I'm addicted to it. |
Portal 2 was okay, but the original Portal was my absolute favorite. What I really like about these games is that you're not required to have previous knowledge on them in order to enjoy them—you can jump into any version of Portal at any given moment and still end up being sucked into them. Haha. Are any of you looking forward to Portal 3?

I've played through Portal 2 but never really had the chance (or will) to even finish it. And like what was said above, I had little knowledge on the original Portal game as I had never played that and when I was playing Portal 2 I knew the controls easily and the background of the game.

Portal 3 is a myth. Valve cannot count to 3.

Hopefully that pattern will change with Portal. Probably not, but one can only hope. Sorry, I don't have a vast knowledge on video games and I don't really pay attention on who makes what game. Besides, I haven't played any of the other games you mentioned, so there's my excuse. |
Portal 2 seemed to have finished the storyline though. And Portal was a gimmicky game to begin with, they'll have to cook up something amazingly original to give it a third iteration.
|
Is Portal (first one) worth getting? I've sorta lost interest in video games cause they get repetitive, and I've never tried Portal. Sounds really innovative, though.
|
I've never played Portal myself but I have watched a friend play Portal. It was really interesting to watch though at the time I felt that if I tried playing the game I would fail miserably haha. That was back when I didn't have an xBox so he brought his over to play but now that I have one myself maybe I'll get Portal 1 & 2 sometime. It's a pretty original concept I think so maybe it's something you should try out sometime Dipu.
|
Get it. Or both of them, it should come under $15 total when it's on sale.
|
I've finished Portal and the final part is significantly longer than expected. :)
|
Here's what I liked about Portal 2 (can't speak for Portal as I never played it). It was highly original, and no other game has made me feel smarter, or dumber. It takes a while to get used to, but they set up the game so well, that it takes you through and points out the various things you can do with the portals. Every level is set up to test something new that can be used in later levels. You don't even realize how much you understand the game, until you watch someone else struggle their way through the first few levels.
Humor wise, this was one of the funniest games I have ever played. This game really has it's own charm and wit that really makes it a worthwhile play. Here's a quote that I (somewhat) remember from co-op. "In order to get ready for human testing again, I went through some old suggestion cards. You want to know what the number one suggestion was? Less deadly tests. That's absurd, how do they know if the tests are deadly if they're still alive to write the suggestion?" It might be funnier in the game, but it's full of those kind of witty sentences. I don't mean to advertise, but I think it's a worthwhile play. I mean, it's a family-friendly puzzle game that became extremely popular in a realm full of bloody, violent fps games. That has to say something. |
I'd recommend getting Portal but I think I recommend Portal 2 more. It seems to run better on my pc (non-issue if your going for a console version) and has much more content.
|
If you really want Portal, I'd suggest getting it as part of a bundle (preferably Portal 2). It's a bit of a short game. (That might be an understatement.)
*clears out more stuff* |
It's $30 right now, but it'll go on sale. Wait until it's more than a 50% price drop, I think I've seen 75% before. I got Portal for free in a bundle, but paid $6.79 for Portal 2 which might be like an 80% off sale + tax? Yep seems right (cuz Canada things). These sales come all the time, so it'll - like possibly a Black Friday sale, or a Christmas one. Don't remember if there's a Halloween sale.
|
I like Portal 2 a lot, and that's coming from someone who's not massively into video games (whether they be PC- or console-based). Based entirely on preconceptions, I thought it was some derange version of an FPS game, but it's a lot cleverer than that and has a quite the steep learning curve to boot. I'm not entirely ashamed to admit that I ended up watching LPs of the final few levels in order to complete the game! :P (Having said that, I need a strategy guide or something similar to complete most games... even Pokemon!)
|
When I played Portal 2, I also used LP videos as well.. and in most cases whenever I play Pokémon games, I use a strategy guide, despite there being walkthroughs on the internet of these games.
|
Never played Portal 2 ever. Heard it's a fun game but I'm so cheap though. I ain't spending $30 on a game. xD
|
Portal was originally part of Valve's orange box but was successful enough to branch into its own series, in other words it wasn't a standalone game initially. Therefore I'd recommend getting Portal in a bundle.
For portal 2 wait for something like steam sales or if you're getting it for consoles wait until there's a good deal. |
Would I seem weird if I said I don't know anything about Portal?
|
i've never played portal, i've always wanted to though.
|
I guess I'm getting Portal sometime after I get XY then. =P
|
Yeah, it's a good game. I'm proud to say that I never looked up a guide to complete it. I did it all on my own. I wanted to look some stuff up, oh how I WANTED to look stuff up. Three headaches and rage-quits later, it was complete. Plus they throw in a special something at the end that totally makes the game worth it.
|
Portal is a fairly short game, you can get it today and finish it today if you so desire, it only takes like 3-4 hours. It's a good game though.
|
I wish there was a Gamestop around my house though, or any game store, really. The closest one is like 4 or 5 miles away, I think. Ugh.
|
This is the last time I'll ever drink and text.
