I drink coffee in the morning because I'm not 13.
Seconded.

I think it also depends when you grew up as well. If you were in high school or college in the 90s when the coffee craze hit (Seattle! Flannel! Coffee carts everywhere!) coffee is your drink.

Energy drinks I sort of associate with those younger 'college' kids. (Millennials?)

Beer is definitely an acquired taste. I don't have a taste for it. I'll chose a glass of wine or hard liquor over it every time.

There is one thing I don't like about Guinness, I do not really like it out of a can.  On draft it is amazing, but can never tastes right to me.

 
It actually doesn't have much of a flavor at all honestly. A slight bit of smokiness from the process they use on the malts. The mouthfeel is where it excels but that is all due to the nitrogen. I assume that is why people call it heavy and filling, but I don't get that at all.

I think the Foreign Extra Stout is the best of their line. However, I prefer Lion or Left Hand Fade to Black if I want that style.
Was wondering how to describe it, this is perfect. It definitely doesn't have much flavor, but brings a certain sensation to your mouth when you drink it. perfect description of the flavor

The 90s were all high school and college for me and coffee is still gross. I blame my parents making me help out with the after church coffee and donut hour. Emptying the filter and old grounds from those industrial size percolators made me want to throw up every damn time.

I like certain sensations in my mouth. Sold!

I had the Black Butte Porter from Deschutes last night and the label said it had a "creamy mouthfeel" and I giggled like a chauncy little school girl.

I'm glad we have Gator in this thread. I usually don't have a clue what he's talking about but it's knowledge and knowledge is power. If I need a new beer choice I know who to ask.
 
"Mouth feel" is such a strange phrase to me.  No one says that when talking about food, so why in the world is it a beer drinking term?

It is definitely used by foodies and wine people as well. It is definitely not the most common word and I realize I am in full on beer geek mode using it, but there isn't another word I know to convey Guinness' overall experience.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouthfeel

ETA: I guess I could have gone with viscosity, but that makes me think I am drinking a pint of 10W40 instead of a beer.

I love how the settle time is so exact at 119.5 seconds. That's some high-class, high-tech shit right there.
pet peeve: saying 'approximately' when referring to an amount of time and then providing a number accurate to the tenth of a second. it's not funny nor approximate at that point.

Oh I know its a big beer thing as I see and hear it all the time now. Maybe I dont check into the "foodie" scene enough to know they use it a lot too. And I dont like wine so I would never hear them say it.

Oh and "foodie" is annoying to me too. Just cause you like to eat fancy hipster shit and then go throw it up later doesnt mean you like food! I love food more than any "foodie" I have ever seen. In conclusion: fuck foodies!

Yeah, I started to put foodie in quotes with a side bar comment. Then I realized that would be kind of dickish since I probably come off the same way they do when I talk about beer.

 
I used to drink a Guiness on occasion. That ended when I was at a convention for work. I went out drinking with a bunch of sales reps, and one guy was alternating between buying car bombs and Fireball shots. Puking that shit up at 3am, all I remember tasting was the Guiness. Haven't had one since.

I started with Bud Ice and Molson Ice in college. Drank plenty of Busch Light too.
I drank a lot of Bud Ice in high school but when I tried drinking it a year or so ago it tasted like shit.

This was another high school favorite...

I like Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. Picked some up last year on a whim and was delighted by it.
I'm with Zimm; it's a good summer time beer for a pool party.

Re; The buy 2 used get 1 free gamestop thing starting at gamestop, here's a list I did about a year ago with some notable PS3 titles only available on disc and not PSN. I think only MGS4 has been added in the interim (though DMC4 was remastered) and there are some I missed like Star Wars: Force Unleashed 1 and Nier. The original post has some game trailers but there isn't an easy way to copy them over to a new post since the thread was closed.

Afrika review
Asura's Wrath (or you could just youtube it...)

Dark Souls 1 (Do it)
Devil May Cry 4
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron review

Folklore (out of print so will probably be expensive to buy unless you get lucky)
I have almost all of these, quite a few because I investigated the games on your previous post. :)

Folklore is 12.99/11.69 at GS and I've seen quite a few copies. No trophies, but there is a demo on PSN even though the game itself is not there. I bought it on the strength of the demo, but haven't played it yet.

 
I'm having a shitty day. My boss is out this week and next which means I have to work. Screw working at work. Hope everyone here is good.

I'm still loving Infamous Second Son. Still in the 1st playthrough though. I did some paper trail thing and then it said it couldn't access my paper trail account...guess I need to set one up. Woah I just set one up and synced my account to my PSN. I earned Karma! Go Me! 

I'm tired and hungry. 

 
So lemmings touch? It's really fucking hard. I mean really. I've resorted to guides on the second out of four difficulties for perfecting levels and it's *still* hard just from an execution perspective. ps3t has it at a 9/10 but I assumed that was just if you did it on your own. Nope!
 
I went to a party years ago and brought 8 cans of Guinness Draught. I put them in the fridge and this guy asked if he could have one. I told him he can have a few since nobody else there liked Guinness. Well he only had one so I drank the other 7 cans. As I was drinking people would say how nasty Guinness is as they are drinking Bud Light, Tecate, Nat Ice, PBR. One person said your drinking soy sauce which makes no sense as they drank there shit beer. Most people say it's too thick to drink but I find it perfect.

I love a good Boddingtons also.
I remember going to keg parties in HS with our cooler of imported beer. People giving us crap about bringing beer to a kegger. We would chase their crappy beer with the bottles we brought. We would take turns sitting on the cooler. Once the keg(s) was kicked suddenly people weren't giving us such crap anymore. Usually whoever threw the kegger would get a bottle or two and maybe a cute girl or two.

 
Looks like AC: Chronicles is coming to Vita:

Here's gameplay, surely not from the Vita version but still really has me interested:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oFnnkgVzOA

I've been wanting to see this on Vita since it was first announced. This seems to be a real stealth game, unlike the main series entries. Page says it includes China, Russia, and India, though of course it's in another language for another country so who knows.

So I never played the Dark Souls games but I've played Demon Souls.  If I found it hollow/empty and not very satisfying in terms of progression/leveling, will I hate Bloodborne?

 
The best part of liking Guinness a lot is I'd go to a friends house and bring a couple 4 packs. I'd always leave the extras in the fridge and they'd still be there the following week. I told him they can help themselves to the Guinness and they all said they rather drink their cheap beer.

Less pigs more corn!
Reminds me of another drinking buddy from HS. I think it might have been senior year. We were hanging out at my friends house having a few beers. His dad asked if we would trade him a bud for one of his Meister Brau. I was like it is your house help yourself to the Budweiser. I want no part of that Meister Brau crap.

 
Can he mix drinks or is he more of a beer aficionado? When I was drinking a lot it was mostly booze.
Someone else would need to handle that part unless they wanted me to wait to look up what all went into something on the internet. I have been known to make a pretty mean Brown Russian (I like a lot of Kahlua in my White Russians) but that is about the extent of my skills.

 
I don't disagree. Also, I once decided to give it another shot at a bar and apparently got one that had something slipped in (mickey? rufie? I dunno). All I remember is shivering a lot (even though it was summer), going outside to throw up and I guess I ended up passing out across the street from the bar in a field after drinking most of the pint. I came to hours later and hobbled/crawled my way back across the street to my friends who were all like 'where have you been? you missed a good show.' I haven't been able to look at the stuff since.
I hope your pants weren't pulled part way down.
