That has nothing to say. Could be purchased anywhere.

Holy crap, this thread moves fast...
Since the subject is chocolate, has anyone here tasted this awesomeness? If not, I urge you to give it a try. Best damn mass-produced chocolate I've ever tasted.

Hmm interesting. Never seen it. Is it all milk chocolate or is there more to it?

In unrelated news, N64 is awesomeness.

BELGIUM is everywhere!

Even here on this forum!

Guardian: Based on the website's TLD, I'm inclined to believe it. cavalier.be
I've found it both in health foods stores and in candy stores.

xforeverxmetalx: It's milk chocolate, but sweetened with stevia rather than sugar, or some awful chemical concoction like aspartame.

And hell yes, N64 is awesome. Ocarina of Time remains the best game ever made, and as far as I'm concerned, the Super Smash Bros franchise - which was launched with the N64 - is the gold standard of good console multiplayer games.
Wish the controller sticks didn't wear out so quickly, though.

Actually I've heard stevia isn't all that great either. Worse than sugar even. But I'm sure the chocolate's tasty.

Haha, the reason I mentioned that is actually because I downloaded Super Smash Bros and have been playing it on my laptop recently. Sucks not having an actual controller though - so I ordered one along with an adapter for my computer. My controller still works - the original one - but yea the stick is beyond worn out.

As far as health goes, stevia is pretty much neutral - it enters and leaves your body, doing pretty much nothing besides provide some flavour on the way in. Though it does have a slightly bitter, licorice-reminiscent aftertaste - sugar is better on that front. Sugar, on the other hand, causes insulin spikes and all kinds of other well known, nasty effects.

I got 4 controllers, only one with a worn-out stick. But since I have no TV, and my monitor doesn't do SCART, I haven't actually played the thing in over a year.

Not that I'd have time to play it, anyway... work is pretty much dominating my time. Worked last sunday, then the saturday and sunday before that - as well as the regular monday to friday routine. This weekend's off, though, thank goodness.

Haha I just realized I was thinking of Splenda. Oops.

I haven't had much time until recently since my classes just ended. So now I can play some of my old favorites again.

Where do you work/what do you do?

IT support for a bunch of stores, basically. Even though I'm only supposed to be working full time and nothing more, it's recently felt like I'm on call 24/7. Hoping that will end soon, since it's killing my leisure time.

Even having separate work and personal phone numbers doesn't help. If there's something wrong, they'll call... even at 7am on a Sunday.

Really looking forward to the holiday - WOA and all.

Have you tried Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii)? It's quite awesome; what differentiates it from its predecessors is that you can design your own levels.

Another IT person on the forum. I really have to wonder what causes this apparent correlation between liking metal and liking computers.

That sucks though. Sounds like your stores could use another person to help.

I haven't, which is funny because I have it. My brother has a Wii and that game but I haven't tried it out. Maybe now that I have time, I'll give it a go.

It's an interesting question, isn't it?

I suppose IT folks tend to be among "the weird kids" - the same demographic also contains of a lot of metalheads. Joe Average and metal don't go that well together.

But then the question is - are we weird because we like metal, or do we like metal because we're weird? The world may never know...

 

[tDa]

I would bet on the latter, though I have to note that I don't find being "weird" negative. I consider it much closer to a being compliment than being called "normal/average", or, alternatively, "boring".

The chicken and the egg...

But... why is it that I alwasy saw many metalheads at FOLKWOODS, a PURE folk festival?
