I've played through to the text adventure, and gotten thoroughly bored now I'm there. It's an interesting idea, but at this point my desire to do something more fun is outweighing my desire to solve the puzzle with the can and spigot.

It's pretty much just what it looks like.  Put the can on the spigot and pull the lever.

I haven't touched the game since earlier today but... what lever? I don't recall ever finding one.

look at the machine

I think I did. I'm probably just forgetting. I'm not actually at all interested in playing it again at this point though.

Saw XMen this weekend and saw a preview for The Boxtrolls.  Animation looks really neat, and reminded me of Machinarium.  I couldn't find any link between the companies involved, though.  Anyone else see a resemblance?

Your ratio looks fine to me.

Especially if someone decided to give you a second respect on this post.. which they'll probably remove after your next post.

[SirPeebles]

Psh, now I retract my respect, imposter.

You disappointment me, Canada.

Are you saying that because you don't eat meat products?

Reading an article about this... this is a quite obvious hoax (satire?) for publicity.

[WalrusMcFishSr]

Hoax or no, I'd still probably eat one...

On my most recent trip to Trader Joe's I discovered they have frozen Steak and Ale Pies(!)(?). Don't know if they're new or I just never noticed. I'm heating one up for dinner now, hopefully it will be delicious.

Same here...I have a major weakness for food other people think looks disgusting. Those burgers with grilled cheese sandwiches for buns are like my favorite thing in the world, the waffle taco at Taco Bell is delicious. Next on my list of things to try is the double down.

No idea if the pizza cake was a gag item or not, because I don't frequent Boston Pizza enough to know.  But one article mentions Sriracha chicken pizza, which was actually on the menu when I went a couple weeks ago.

I fondly remember dipping sukiyaki in raw egg when I was in Japan. I not-so-fondly remember taking a bite from a whole fish on a skewer. I wanna go back!!

Steak and ale pies is a standard pub meal in Britain...

Oh I'm aware of steak and ale pies haha. I like to consider myself something of a meat pie enthusiast...there was a period where I asked for a meat pie for my birthday dinner every year. I was expressing my surprise that it was available in such a convenient format, and that I hadn't noticed them before!

It was pretty good! I am consistently impressed by the quality of Trader Joe's frozen meals, they're mostly better than what I could cook. The crust was particularly pleasant, nice and crusty

I lived off Trader Joe's in college. Frozen burritos, frozen pizzas, cereal, and that cheap beer they sell. Oh and frozen dumplings from Chinatown.

Don't know where else to put this but...

I am, as of this moment, 1111 on the pro leaderboard.

Just looked them up and they seem pretty cool.

We have aldi's over here, but they are more the cheap and nasty budget range of supermarket (although some of their stuff is really good)

But apparently there is one coming to Lomdon soon
