That Mary Kish rant was amazing.

@humanity: Sounds like Brad just has a bad case of... Sour grapes.

VR is not really virtual reality. It's more like semi-VR. Quasi-VR. Mini VR. Half-assed-VR. Don't get me wrong, it's something, but there are those problems. I don't know how large the install-base is going to be, given the price point. Another reason why our economic system is so great (not).If something great is too expensive to implement from a financial standpoint, it's probably not gonna happen. It's so debilitating in so many ways.

@andrew2696: I've found my new ring tone.

I thought I knew what American chilli was until they implied it is similar to bolognese if you leave out the beans. Either they have a different concept of bolognese or I have no idea what chilli is.

Sounds painful.

When people say gamers look disheveled, that's what they're talking about.

@brackynews:

All of those energy drinks cause dehydration and create fecal bricks in their intestines. Those bricks build the foundation of gamer culture.

Cincinnati chili is not actually "chili con carne", which is what most people think of when you say chili. It is actually a Mediterranean-inspired meat sauce developed by Macedonian immigrants, which means it is much closer to bolognese than chili con carne.

This Deadspin article goes into more useful detail (scroll all the way down to the worst-ranked food in America).

@bread_harrity: And only 30th anniversary Mario can break those bricks. :/

@comradesolar: that is actually really interesting. I know it's a trap but that article was so harsh that now I want to try it. I have to know.

Anybody have the link to the Instagram/youtuber article they reference?

More Mary rants.

Thanks!

@danryckert U-an McGregor. You-an. Euwan. Not Eh-uan.

I live in Chicago. For the longest time, it was Portillo's vs Pop's, but then Pop's turned into shit since their chilli is basically bolognese with beans now. Luckily, Portillo's is still as amazing as ever. If you're in chicago, give them a visit. Their chili cheese dogs are great. Don't get their shakes, haven't tried their burgers, and think Chicago style hotdogs are overrated. It also turned to shit since their once impossible to close beef sandwiches are now super easy to close. Also, fuck Mary Kisch, how does one person have so many positives going for her? Smart, attractive, funny, gamer, midwesterner. People like her and Drew shouldn't exist, keep video game journalism to the moderately attractive to homely side. Then to come on a UPF dressed as Zero Suit Samus, TEASE TEASE I TELL YOU. By the way I highly like Mary and Drew and both are amazing, sad to see both leave the CBSi family.
