Whenever I need a pick-me-up or I just want to relax, I always turn to Sun-Drop, a locally made soft drink that has recently gone national. It is known for its high caffeinated awesomeness. So I ask, what is the one beverage that you reach for when thirst hits you or when you just want relax with something good?

I'm home for the summer working for a  veterinarian out in the foot hills on the Tennessee and Alabama state line and I have to drive 30 mins to get a decent internet connection to watch vids on the sites.  I can pull up the sites at work but can't watch videos or download the bombcast.  Just to make it through the week  I listen to old bombcasts I'v already downloaded.  I miss you Whiskey Media and I shall not forsake you for another.  I believe there should be a support group for those who must go without.  

Even as I write this, a massive outbreak of tornadoes has swept a devastating path of destruction and death starting in Texas and Arkansas and plowed  through Mississippi and all the way towards the Carolinas.  The total number of fatalities is already over 140 and it is continuing to rise. In Tuscaloosa, Al alone there's up to 37 fatalities and they've hardly begun rescue/cleanup operations.  Please keep us in your thoughts/prayers.

While waiting for the bombcast, I listen the Sunday Radio Show with Dave Snider and heard him comment about how accents must be fading away.  This got me wondering, are they?  I'm from the Heart of Dixie and I'm proud of my voice.  So here's the question I want to throw to the giantbomb community, "How do yall feel about this?"  Is it getting harder to differentiate regions of the U.S.  by their voice?

After playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, I now want to learn Italian.  So I pose the following 2 questions, does anybody else feel this way, and is there another game that does the same? And it doesnt have to be Italian.
