I'm watching some really dry training videos about system compliance in the financial industry so I started drowning out the audio with random bands on bandcamp.  Now I need to pass a quiz and I don't know what the video was about.

Apparently cold cereal is on the outs. Not too surprising now that I think about it, but still. I pretty much fall in line with this paragraph
According to outside experts, there are a few culprits for the declining demand for cereal: People are consuming less milk, eating fewer carbs and looking for lower-sugar foods to feed their kids, while favoring higher-protein alternatives like Greek yogurt or protein shakes for breakfast.
I tend to avoid milk, and the extra sugar/calories in the morning. I've got a box of french toast crunch (because best 90s breakfast cereal ever) at home, but weekdays I don't really have the time for it, and most weekends I'd rather just have some oatmeal or something.

Big cereal companies should lobby for legalizing weed then.
 
also someone else mentioned it in this thread, but I just got my 3rd or 4th $5 savings coupon from bestbuy this month. guess ill go grab another psn card for free/cheap. also grabbed arkham knight for $17, thanks alot guys. Do i just throw this controller sticker away or anyway to sell/return it? My girl wanted to return it with the receipt or at walmart but i said it says $0 and doubt walmart sells it. return fraud too of course i told her no way.

 
French Toast Crunch is still my favorite. Heavy nods for Crunch Berries and Frosted Flakes though. I had a while where I really liked honey bunches of oats and apple jacks though. And I think its the Quaker Oatmeal Squares that I liked for a while as far as healthier cereals go.

Though I prefer the Post brand. It's a toss-up between that and raisin bran. I used to eat 3-4 bowls of cereal for breakfast every morning when I was younger. Gave it up when I decided to drop carbs. One of the few things I miss. :drool:

Maybe I should just not visit Best Buy for a year so I can get all of these coupons you and Mild are getting.

 
My cereal bowl is in the shape of a Fedora. I only have milk on cereal as its gross by itself. Loved all the sugar stuff as a kid but if I get cereal now it's Cheerios or Kix. Who doesn't love Kix? I also love Honey Bunches of Oats.

I usually have oatmeal for breakfast as its way more filling than cereal. Oatmeal and some fresh fruit is such a good breakfast.

How am I at $100 after picking up Palmer before this week? Was it because nobody else claimed him? I am still not sure how all the $ stuff works for that part and I have been too lazy to look since the only transaction I cared about so far worked.

Didn't they already announce the Halo bundle though? I have a hard time thinking they will do an additional one on top of that.

My guesses:

a kiddieish arcade bundle with something like Peggle 2 and another game, maybe a Just Dance. (gotta unload those kinects)

Fallout 4

Rainbow Six Siege

GH bundle with Halo MCC and Forza 5.

Do they still make Berry Berry Kix? I ate that stuff a lot when it had the Smurfberrys in it.

Free agent pick-ups made outside the waiver period don't count against your budget (So Wednesday through first game Sunday-ish). Also if you don't enter in a dollar amount during the waiver period and nobody else bids on them, you still get for free.

If you pick them up from Free Agency it's free (even though it looks like you paid $1 at the time). If you get them off waivers you pay a minimum of $1, and highest bid wins.

Edit: wait, Zimm's probably right about no minimum if no one else wanted them.

Polygon gave Lego Dimensions an 8.  I saw a ton of sets at Target over lunch.  That Back to the Future one keeps screaming my name.  Lucky the Portal one wasn't there.  That thing better get a nice Black Friday discount like DI 2.0 last year.

 
Frosted Mini Wheats

Fruity Pebbles

Crispix

Basic 4

Lucky Charms

Those are my top cereals, though not in that particular order. They once had a rice crispies variant called Party Crispies or something. It was just suuuuper sweet rice crispies and it was awesome. I only drink Almond milk now. Milk is starting to bother me a little more every year the older I get. I can eat cheese, ice cream, pretty much anything with milk in it but if I drink it straight in a glass or from a bowl (and I generally pour about 3 bowls of cereal whenever I do eat it) Then I start feeling shitty. Soy milk sucks, Lactaid sucks but Almond milk is pretty damn good. Chocolate almond milk is a godsend, I can kill a whole carton of that shit.

Oatmeal is ok, but I'd never purposely buy it. I prefer cream of wheat. Any flavor really, or even plain with some honey added. 

I can eat any yogurt, plain or flavored. I just hate the ones with fruit on the bottom. Its like a nasty jelly. Fruit mixed is fine.

Grape Nuts are incomprehensible. How could anyone like that stuff? It's like eating pebbles.

Only cereal I ever ate that gave me a headache from crunching on those fucking things.

Mixing Rice Krispies with Cheerios is pretty good.

I also bought a bag of cereal marshmallows off of Amazon recently and stuck them in a tupperware container. Now all my cereals can be magically delicious! And recreate Marshmallow Krispies, which should never have been taken off of the market.

Cereal sucks. I hate cereal.

Yogurt you have to be careful with. There are yogurts out there (even ones labeled "Greek Style") that have almost as much fat and sugar as ice cream.

I can eat most those yogurts because their delicious and loaded with fat and sugar. Greek yogurt and actual "good for you" yogurt I don't like at all.

I also hate Cheerios, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Oatmeal as a breakfast option.

You like what you like and that's all good. I hate lots of things many people like in the morning and coffee would be on the top. I hate coffee and tea as drinks. Yes even sweet tea! I'd rather drink plain old water or juice with breakfast. Tried various teas and coffees and they were all :puke:
 
My girls mom occasionally substitutes greek yogurt for sour cream when making dips and other things because she doesn't care much for sour cream. As a fan of both, its pretty damn good.

Finally beat Scott Pilgrim, but only because I used the money cheat. What a grind that would have been to level up otherwise. The hit detection on this game is pretty bad since you always seem to be slightly off to the side.

Anyway I beat the game over 5 minutes ago and I am still waiting for the credits to finish because of course I want to sit here and read all the names of the people who made this shitty game. Thanks!

EDIT: STILL GOING! IT must be near 10 minute now...or more.

EDIT 2: Quit from XMB because fuck that shit.
