I only ever knew barbecue to have one specific meaning having grown up in kansas city. At one point I took a trip to North Carolina and ordered barbecue at a restaurant and ended up with some excessively seasoned meat covered in plain vinegar or something and I politely told them that they gave me something different than what I ordered. the locals corrected me and then began to extol the virtues of 'southern barbecue' and I actually didn't understand what they were saying.

Seriously, not a single southerner pointed out that the vinegar based shit from the Carolinas is not representative of all southern BBQ?

I would be lying if I said I did not occasionally enjoy the Carolina style stuff. However, the majority of southern BBQ is kind of more of a mix of Memphis and KC styles. It is not always dry with a sauce on the side like KC, but not always coated during and after the cook like what Memphis does. The sauces are similar to the KC style and not vinegar based usually.

ETA: Barbecue is serious business.

Getting hit in the face by a baseball isn't fun. I have the crooked nose to prove it. Hope he's alright.

Yeah, 3 times for me. Right below the eye on one, which fortunately resulted in only a good shiner, In the mouth on another which broke a tooth and chipped another, and in the nose on the last one, which broke that in a few spots but surgery was able to fix. I don't like balls coming near my face.

 
I like a good vinegar based bbq sauce, especially on a pulled pork sandwich. I like sweet sauce on ribs and chicken and stuff though.

Is Carolina BBQ the kind that likes to slop coleslaw on top of shit, because fuck that.

I dont think the cole slaw topping thing is more common with any particular style. The Carolina method is cooked without sauce then topped with a vinegar based (watery like) sauce with a lot of spicing in it. It is not bad, but I prefer regular sauces. Oddly one of my favorite BBQ places is in the Carolinas (Asheville). However, they have an old piano that was converted into a sauce bar and have everything you could imagine with sweet, hot, savory, mustard based, jalapeno based, and the vinegar stuff too of course.

Star Ocean looking good. I have no idea how close it's releasing to FFXV but I have a feeling I'm going to be having a little too much big budget jrpg in my diet this year.

The new Peewee Herman was pretty enjoyable to watch with the kids. I know he's covered in makeup, but Paul Reubens looks exactly the same as he did 30 years ago.
 
I associate delicious vinegar-based BBQ with Eastern NC.  Western NC puts shit like ketchup in theirs.  Gross.  And SC puts mustard in theirs.  Double gross.

Yeah, the Carolina method is cooking without the sauce. Depending on what Carolina, and which part of that Carolina your in, is where they differ. Not all Carolina BBQ has the vinegar based sauce on it. Straight vinegar based sauce with spices is eastern NC; one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I've ever had is from a seafood place in Calabash, NC (The Seafood Hut). As you head toward the middle of NC, they start mixing ketchup in with the vinegar base, and the BBQ in western NC tends to be heavier on the ketchup. That's not to say you won't find the different varieties in all parts of NC, just that if you venture out into the 'country' you'll probably only find the variety for that area. But seriously, f#$& NC!

SC has all of the above, plus mustard based, but the variety isn't confined to one region; it's more about personal preference. My all time favorite BBQ sauce is a ketchup based from Kelly's BBQ in Summerville, SC. I didn't have a lot of mustard based until I moved to Columbia.

I'm not beholden to one variety over the others. I enjoy all kinds of BBQ.

And keep coleslaw off my damn BBQ sandwich!
 
Bully!!!

Now if I could stop watching house of cards....God this show is so good. The intro music is perfect too.

When I was in Charlotte and went for BBQ, I didn't get any weird vinegar shit. I did get a damn damn good full rack of ribs that I devoured by myself to the shock and awe of my co-workers and Kyle Larson's PR guy.

Alice Madness Returns garbage or [insert actually crappy game here] garbage? Your taste in garbage has come into question.

Alice was GOTY compared to that crap. I just was not a fan of it. Manhunt tried to turn a crappy game design into something by adding shock value. I can't even think of something I would compare it to at the moment.

 
I didn't think manhunt was garbage, at least for the time it came out. Plenty of games now have done the stealthy violence stuff better, so it probably hasn't aged too well if you play it now. I remember the premise being pretty cool as you're a mass murderer or something being videotaped trying to escape somewhere. They want you to use different violent means to take out the enemies for some twisted reality show or something.
