- That's phenomenal. It's used to be a Japan only game. -- nm - Inigo Feb 9, 09:09
- It's a fun game - there are a few things I don't like (like the missing life-meter on the monsters), but overall worth playing -- nm - decline Feb 9, 09:02 1
  - the screenshots look cool -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 09:02

Okay - so we've got what you like, and what Buzzfeed says you are into, but what winter events do you think you'd do well in? - Will Hunting Feb 9, 08:22 23

      - evidence of my skill set -- (link) - Epiphany Feb 9, 09:13 [Image]
      - Biathlon would be cool. And until I see evidence to the contrary, I think I could smoke you and Pippy in Hot Cocoa Drinking. -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 09:06
- In my youth, definitely hockey (as a goalie). Now? My best sport would probably be biathlon. - ReluctantCynic Feb 9, 08:45

STIS: When we moved in, every wall in this house was painted a horrible flat "builder brown". It's a dull tan color that picks up every single mark - kelly Feb 9, 08:11 7
- Also consider the brand of paint - I had terrible luck in terms of good coverage/multiple coats with BEHR. I needed twice as much of that to do my - Cuzzin Todd Feb 9, 08:28 2
  - Yeah, I dislike Behr paint too. I am a loyal Valspar user. Never had an issue with coverage and I love their colors. -- nm - kelly Feb 9, 08:41
  - And I should mention, when I moved in, every room in the house had been painted in the same brown paint you describe. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 9, 08:30
- yep - do a primer coat first. One coat of primer should be equivalent to a couple coats of just paint in terms of sealing off the current colour. -- nm - Andie Feb 9, 08:12 3
  - OK. I mean, this little bathroom is tiny. - kelly Feb 9, 08:20 [Attachment] 2
    - I used killz everywhere. another thing primer does is get rid of undertones. if you just paint grey over green, it'll always look a little green. - amanda Feb 9, 08:24 1
      - tinted primer is the best. so much less work afterward. -- nm* - Andie Feb 9, 08:28

Can't you see that this Wonder Woman Crock Pot is tearing us apart?!? -- nm - prayformojo Feb 9, 07:59 6
- I feel like the first 6 hours of this pulled pork's cook time were really fresh and original, then the last two hours just got bogged down in standard slow cooker tropes... -- nm - Ender Feb 9, 08:13
- ~It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you~ -- nm - Wonder Woman Crock Pot Feb 9, 08:06

FWIW, I buy a fair number of items at Walmart. Sometimes I find their prices are the same as or lower than Amazon's (hellooooo Instant Pot). In all - kelly Feb 9, 07:57 27
- I think people who avoid Wal-Mart don't avoid it based on product quality. -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 08:08 4
  - A little from column A and a little from column B. - Krusty Feb 9, 08:21
  - Right, that's why I said "a variety of reasons", but quality of product was mentioned a bit on B2 so it is a concern to some. -- nm - kelly Feb 9, 08:16 1
    - ahh, okay, I missed that post - ty97 Feb 9, 08:19
  - Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 9, 08:15
- exactly this. -- nm - amanda Feb 9, 08:07
- I have zero issues with Walmart. Our stores are pretty decent overall. -- nm - Shaun Feb 9, 08:01 20
  - American Walmart and Canadian Walmart are vastly different experiences. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 08:03 19
    - Must be a southern thing. The Midwest ones (ND, SD, MN) I've been in had no noticeable difference. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 9, 08:21 6
      - The few I've been to in Florida were pretty solid too. -- nm - Shaun Feb 9, 08:22 5
        
        Yeah, Florida has beer and wine in grocery stores -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 08:23 4
        
        I had a major 'wtf' moment in April when we popped into the liquor shop at one of the Walmarts. -- (edited) - Shaun Feb 9, 08:34 3
        
        "how are you people not always hammered?!?!" -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 08:38 2
        
        It's a headscratcher, that's for sure. -- nm - Shaun Feb 9, 09:11
        
        Trump got elected, somehow. In all seriousness, I think this is why election day never becomes a holiday here. - Spawn Feb 9, 08:42
    - Booze in store!! Come on CDN Walmarts, figure it out. -- nm - Shaun Feb 9, 08:06 11
      - Depends on the state here. When I moved to Chicago and they had Absolut Vodka on the shelf at Target, I was very confused. -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 08:10 3
        
        That's the best part of TN! Beer and wine in stores! (Although I'd like it more if they'd sell the wine on Sundays and sell hard liquor in stores too. -- nm - kelly Feb 9, 08:12 2
        
        TX has beer and wine in stores. NY allows them to sell beer OR wine, not both. PA I think is all package store? (or is that NJ?) - ty97 Feb 9, 08:13 1
        
        These limits are all foreign to me. But then again, no sales on Sunday (but that appears to finally be changing at least in part). -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 08:47
      - we are just getting used to having booze in grocery stores. (edit - i just googled, some of our Walmart SuperCenters apparently do sell beer/wine.) -- nm* - Andie Feb 9, 08:10 1
        
        It's a nice start. -- nm - Shaun Feb 9, 08:10
      - One of our Walmarts is getting beer soon. -- nm - AJRimmer Feb 9, 08:08
      - Blame Canada. -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 08:06 3
