Kmart store with only 3 customers, seems accurate. Had Kmart in my town, but they've been out of business for about a decade.
New Firehouse Sub opened up about a month ago, it is ridiculous the amount of meat you get in it. They had the misfortune to open up just as major road construction was being done on the street that goes by it so it is a pain in the ass to get to, have to take a frontage road for a block and a half which can't be helping their sales.

Firehouse is also amazing. Huge portions. The brisket sandwich is muthafuckin-oh-god-yes. Meatball is good too.
 
I love Jersey Mikes but didn't care for their meatball sub. The cold cuts are where it's at........I got 2 turntables and a microphone.

I was all set to hit Jersey Mike's on my way home, but I might have to make this for my wife tonight. Should earn me a "treat"
 
There is a local food truck that a buddy told me about that I hope to run into sometime soon.  Unfortunately, there is no pic on their website either.  Here is the description....

BBQ Mac
Smoked pulled pork in BBQ sauce on cheddar mac. Topped with house-made pimento cheese and pickles.
 
EDIT: Is pimento cheese a thing outside of the south?

Take off the pickles and then we'll talk.

Can you give me a couple examples of AAA games that hit plus that you were super happy about getting. I've noticed most "AAA" are already super old and cheap by the time they get to Plus. Crysis 3 (which I don't classify as "AAA" anyway) and Dead Space 3 were old as sin and had been super cheap already.

Keeping in mind that I didn't start PS+ until 3/13 for NA, here's a list of the bigger titles along with their age when they hit:

PS3:

Demon's Souls ~4years

Sleeping Dogs 9 months

Infamous 2 12 months

Deus Ex: HR 22 months

Battlefield 3 20 months

Saint's Row 3 21 months

Kingdoms of Amalur 21 months

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen 7 months

Devil May Cry 12 months

Tomb Raider 12 months

Borderlands 2 15 months

Uncharted 3 19 months

XCOM: EU 7 months

Payday 2 7 months

NBA 2k14 9 months

Sly: TiT 16 months

Dead Space 3 16 months

Crysis 3 19 months

vita

Rayman Origins 9 months

Unit 13 24 months

Gravity Rush 9 months

Uncharted: Golden Abyss 9 months

Wipeout 2048 9 months

Admittedly the Vita is an outlier because most of the big games hit upon PS+ for Vita's release. But a lot of the PS3 titles hit in a year or less, and all but Demon's Souls were under 2 years.

Why would people prefer mediocre games like Thief, Knack, and Killzone over something like Velocity X2 which looks to have tons of potential? Just because they originally cost more when they came out and were available to buy at stores doesn't meant those "AAA" games are special. They're not.

AAA games (which let's say are the typical big budget, heavily marketed blockbusters) cost more at release, so people perceive them as being more valuable than an indie game which likely launches at 1/4 the price. AAA games are also generally more talked about and promoted, so the average gamer sees them as more desirable than some random game they've never heard of, regardless of said AAA game's quality.

Basically, it's all stupid psychology that causes people to attribute an arbitrary value to certain games and types of games for no real reason, and anything that doesn't fit into that spectrum is considered of lesser value before they even look at/try the game.

Is somebody about to get fired at ESPN? Anyone visit the home page lately? Maybe I'm dumb.

Was it just down or was there something questionable on the main page? I cant get the web page to come up.

NOTE: I am glad I realized my audience and changed "it" to "the web page" in that sentence

The home page was replaced with ESPN FC's home page. All soccer all the time. Home page is back now, but fantasy is down now.

Edit: This was what ESPN's home page looked like for a while until they fixed it: http://www.espnfc.us/

I'll give you the Vita games cause you're right there and Vita games don't really drop in price all that quickly anyway.

But I've red'ed all the games I owned for $10 or less and sold when they went free on Plus and crossed out all the ones that I would have never bought so don't know about their price histories. That leaves Sleeping Dogs, Dragon's Dogma, Xcom, and possibly some of the ones I crossed out that were really worth more than $10 - $15 by the time they hit plus, which is basically the same price as indie games, especially day 1 games. So I guess a few do exist but they're rather rare.

 
The pork and slaw sandwich at Firehouse Subs is great.  I only go when they have that.

About September's ps+ games: Velocity 2X is something I'd want to buy anyway, so that is great.  Day 1 free games is the best category for ps+ games.  The second best category is "games that I was interested in but was waiting for a sale, and now it's gone free before it had a sale," which is what Sportsfriends falls under for me.  Joe Danger on vita seems like a good fit too.

 
If picking the shortest looking line at Target that actually moves slower than Snakey's completion percentage were a sport, I'd be the muthafuckin world champ.
 
Well, crap, I just unwittingly spoiled the end of Walking Dead for a buddy.  He messaged me with "So that's how it all went down in Walking Dead!"  Naturally I assumed he'd finished.

Nope, he just meant that's how the gun fight at the end of episode 4 went down.  He'd just started episode 5.

Oops.

That was a dumbass message to send you if he knew there was another episode that he hadn't played yet.

 
It's like posting on Facebook "Just started Game of Thrones so NOBODY spoil it for me."

Just shut the fuck up and don't post/text anything until you're finished.

I loved Episode 5, but the ending to it should've been better than the little kid hitting on Clementine.

There's this part where the camera zooms out way way way too far and that was probably the least fun I've ever had with a video game since it expected me to beat up like 8 guys.

That's happened a couple times so far and I only just started chapter 10. I thought it was typical gamer hyperbole but you really can't see shit.

WTF?!? I wouldn't want a 9 year old around me with a knife, let alone a fully automatic weapon. That's just crazy. I understand the right to bear arms and all that, but in what situation would a 9 year old need to be wielding an automatic weapon? Jeez.

 
I don't remember Ascension's combat being tricky.  Isn't that the one where you can pretty much block any attack?  And grab any enemy?

13 gave me the most trouble by far, out of those 3. Which mask are you using? If you use the one where you start with the drill, you can go slower and just try to get as many ground kills as you can and get good at throwing the weapons, your boldness score will go up a lot, negating the lowered time bonus. Are you playing on Vita? If not, I would suggest trying it there, because the touch controls made it a lot easier than I would imagine it being on a console.

Yea I'm playing on the vita using the Zack mask to get the combos. I'll try the drill one but these 3 levels have parts where a shit ton jump at you at once. 13 seems like the hardest and 11 is just pissing me off because i keep doing perfect and getting a's and a-'s
