Other than those three there is only the Subway as far as I know.

So you don't have a Tex-Mex place as well like Taco Bell?

Nope. No Taco Bell, no Chipotle, no Wendy's... Starbucks' are very rare. That's about all the major fast food chains I know.

What we do have a lot of are 'snackbars', which mostly center around french fries and fried meat. About every city or village has one. As far as I know there are only two fairly big chains of them though and there are hundreds of singular snackbars around.

Subways are all over the place here as well.

The paper last week said that Subway now had more restaurants than McDonalds. But their profits were still much lower.

Brown gravy, okay, people do that. But milk and butter? Wtf? 0.o

When you are making the mashed potatoes you add milk or cream to make it more creamy. You could just mash them but then they are just essentially boiled potatoes. The butter is to add some more flavor.

The milk isn't being added at the dinner table but while it's being made. :P

Hmmm well... I like eating them that way with apple sauce instead of milk and butter, so who am I to judge? Even for our countries' standards that's weird :p

I'm sure there are plenty here. But do you really mean that the 'main dish' is some kind of pork meat? Like ... anything else will just be a sidedish?

Yeah. Like you have porkchops as the main focus of the meal while you can have sides like vegetables, salad, etc.

Hmm okay that sounds a bit weird to me, but perhaps it's a matter of definition. Personally what I call the 'main dish' is what I have the most of on my plate. That is never the meat, so I consider that a sidedish.

I don't know if you define the main and sidedish the same.

I agree. I guess there are some legal advantages, but I'm sure you can do fine without. Plus if you break up, it will be a lot of hassle to get things sorted out like you said. Especially if there are kids involved as well.

I'm sure there are some tax credits one can take over here if you're married, and I know there are child tax credits as well but yeah it seem burdensome. I guess people in love do dumb things. :P

I have never really looked into that, so I have no idea what exacty the benefits are.

However, recently I have officially registered me and my gf as 'fiscal partners' which also came with some benefits. But they are really minimal, we get like a few euros extra now for health care and I think that's about it.

Sadly, there is some truth in that :(

I thought rabbits normally don't like to be alone, but in that rabbits case I can imagine he's better off without another rabbit hopping around him. I guess there might also be the risk of them starting to fight?

Our first rabbit didn't have a partner until she was 4. We didn't consider a partner at first up until we thought it'd be ideal if we had a second rabbit.

I think it's better for them, yes. I believe rabbits are social animals.

I'm sure many metal fans would drool over his metal LPs collection :p

Well, LPs are becoming more and more popular these days. A fair amount of albums are easy to get on vinyl, although they do cost more than CDs.

Yeah, I know more and more people who suddenly start buying LPs and have an LP player at home. Personally I like LPs mostly for their huge cover art.

They could do the same in a Majora's Mask remake, if it ever comes. There's also a Lost Woods-like place there.

There was? Man, it's been so long since I last played Majora's Mask.

Yeah, it was in the swamp near the magic potion shop. You had to follow some monkey to get through. OoT's Lost Woods was more interesting though. In MM the areas all look similar and there's nothing special anywhere as far as I know.

Although I prefer it over Ocarina of Time, I really want to give this game the quality plays rather than quantity plays.

I have to agree, although I can see why Ocarina of Time is considered the 'better game' generally. As for quality vs quantity plays... it's already too late for me. Majora's Mask is the game I did most runs through. I think the counter is on nine runs right now. But like you I haven't touched it in a long time, perhaps I should dig it back up soon and relive some childhood memories.

I agree. Final Fantasy VI deserves a 3D remake at the very least. It'd be awesome if they work out Kefka right (in 2D sprites there isn't really much room for expressions and poses).

I'm talking about a whole new game relating to FFVI but that's also good.

Like I said, it's the least it deserves. But a prequel or sequel would be sweet of course. I don't see much room for a sequel though, but an interesting prequel should be makeable. It could aim on explaining more about Kefka. About his past and what turned him into that joker figure. IIRC the game never got into that.

I hit 88,000 medal points yesterday.

I also just got my first malware on this computer, which is kind of a milestone I guess. I was running down links in order to verify a submission as stolen (it is), and after tracking down the link to where it was originally posted I went to the site he got that particular version from to get the link, and a Vista version of Spyware Defender popped up and started running a "scan." It also wouldn't let me run any other programs, saying they were all infected. I wasn't exactly fooled, though, since I'm running XP. So I rebooted into safe mode and removed the offending program from my startup list. Now I'm running some scans. I'm leaving the program where it is for now, though, so my antivirus and antimalware programs can have a look at it.

FWIW the offending program was
C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Application Data\defender.exe
and since I know Windows' defender program would be running out of the Windows directory, it's kind of a no-brainer.

I remember when that type of shit got on my computer. However that was years ago when the shit just said your computer was infected. Back then it actually let your stuff update, and eventually my computer updated and got rid of it. Now they make so you have to go into safe mode to do that.

But still I see that stupid redirect every so often as well when in the portal on this site. I am guessing some something got on the site and is now redirecting innocent users in an attempt to scam them. Since I usually have two tabs open as soon as I see that shit I close it and make a new one before the shit can try and download to my computer. Still the shit is annoying as hell thought.

Here's the crazy part though: according to the file information, it downloaded at 10:45 last night. At that time I had just finished my workout and was on my way to the shower; I don't think I was even on my computer at the time. So how it got there is a complete mystery. At any rate, I've updated all my anti-ware software (except AVG, which I'll do tonight) and some time this weekend I'm going to run them all at once and let them brawl to the death in an epic battle royal. Just to be safe.

Yeah, well I talked about it with my gf yesterday and she said most people don't really look at the portions when defining the main dish. She said meat is usually the main dish and vegetables and such are sides according to most people.

If that's the case then I guess we don't differ much in our eating habbits on that level.

I have never really looked into that, so I have no idea what exacty the benefits are.

No not exactly. You have to officially live together under one roof before you can register yourselves as fiscal partners. For us I think the benefits come down to that, instead of getting health care support and 'housing benefit' seperately, one of us will receive it for the both of us and we'll have to share that. The total amount will be a little bit more that way, but it's not much.

It's certainly lengthy, but Ocarina of Time always felt lengthier to me. With all the sidequest it might get longer than OoT though. The sidequest for the Couple's Mask / Postman's Hat / Extra Bottle can take up a few hours since you have to do it 3 times to get all the stuff if I remember correctly.

I have to agree, although I can see why Ocarina of Time is considered the 'better game' generally.

I see Ocarina of Time as more straight-forward and more definitive of the Zelda franchise. Majora's Mask lacks a few basic aspects of Zelda such as Hyrule but it's still an awesome game.

I've always seen Ocarina of Time as the most perfect and ultimate 'save the damsel in distress' adventure game. It has everything such a game needs and works it out wonderfully.

Majora's Mask just goes a different way and explores different, new themes, which was the right thing to do in my opinion. Indeed it is much less straight forward than OoT and it misses a few basic things, but that's not a problem. It's awesome the way it is and has a very interesting, unique concept with the time travelling thing and the impending apocalypse.

Like I said, it's the least it deserves. But a prequel or sequel would be sweet of course. I don't see much room for a sequel though, but an interesting prequel should be makeable. It could aim on explaining more about Kefka. About his past and what turned him into that joker figure. IIRC the game never got into that.

I think it's the fact that they have a drive thur and Subway doesn't. When you only have an hour for lunch, you want food right this instant.

I can understand why everybody would think that, but I simply like it. But doesn't everyone have some weird, custom made food they like?

Yeah, it all about where you live and what resources you have there really depends on what unique foods a country has. America has tons of cattle, chicken, and pigs so most dishes derive from them. Peru has lots of fish and guinea pigs and that what they eat and so forth. And apparently England has a huge allocation of beans.

Yeah, you have to time things right with some sidequests. I suppose that's one thing that makes it much longer. I'm sure you can beat Majora's Mask without getting all 40 masks but I know for a fact that Majora is much harder without the Fierce Deity Mask.

Majora's Mask just goes a different way and explores different, new themes, which was the right thing to do in my opinion. Indeed it is much less straight forward than OoT and it misses a few basic things, but that's not a problem. It's awesome the way it is and has a very interesting, unique concept with the time travelling thing and the impending apocalypse.

I think the time traveling concept was what made it great. Many things happened depending on the time and it gives you a chance to keep going back and seeing how things go elsewhere.

I really think there's loads of potential for a prequel. There was the War of the Magi story and I'm sure they can come up with something good for that idea.

Oh yes, that was another story element which wasn't explained in that much detail if I remember correctly. They could definately dedicate a whole game to that.

Yeah, the most we knew about it was a great war ages ago. It's one that can definitely be explained better to give it a better storyline. There's only a thing or two I'd change in FFVI but they're really minor.

I've got to listen to more Malmsteen.

Yeah, he's got a fair amount of stuff. I'm more interested in his instrumentals. Give Trilogy Suite Op. 5 a listen to. As for any songs with lyrics, Vengeance is a good one.

I've got Vengeance, it's on the Best Air Guitar 3, I think. I just need more. Thanks for the suggestions

I'd rather have had Groucho Marx, or one of the three stooges in his place.

Sadly I can't say I'm familiar with them, although I have heard of the three stooges. They seem to have an almost legendary status nowadays and when I first heard of them I thought they were from some famous old book :p

I'm not overly familiar with them, I just catch a scene or two ever once in a while on YouTube

I'll toss in Mahna Mahna as well since it's so catchy. This isn't really a song as well, but it's still funny and interesting: Beaker's Ode to joy.

Yeah, both are good. At some point, I will make a file of my Miss Piggy impression ;)
