English mustard with pork, Dijon with beef. The exception to this rule is that American mustard is acceptable on hotdogs and burgers.


Cthulhu the Pooh?


Teleportation. Most superpowers would be either useless on a day-to-day basis or - as another commenter suggested - would make you too inhuman to continue to have meaningful interpersonal relations with other normal humans.
And it would allow you to have a croissant in Paris for breakfast, spend the morning strolling along a beach in the Caribbean, pop across to a great barbecue place in Texas for lunch, pass the afternoon exploring the ruins of Pompei before an evening meal of scallops in Hobart. Even just not worrying about the daily commute, always being able to 'port home to use your own toilet during the day, just mundane stuff like that would be grand.


Dr Who. It was going great, the 4th doctor was the best ever, and then they ended the entire thing with him regenerating into Tristan Farnon. Don’t think they made any after that.


Why stop there? Why not Alien vs Predator Vs Terminator Vs Peter Pan Vs Robin Hood?
I don’t know what DCeU is.


Cooking: I love having friends or family come over for lunch or dinner and serving them something that they rave about.
Hiking: The quiet, still moments when there’s no-one else (other than my wife who I usually hike with) around and we can absorb the sights and sounds of nature.
Role-playing games: When the story we’re all creating together comes together perfectly.


Jeff Minter. If you know, you know.


This could have been prevented if armed ‘protection’ drones had been installed at the school. The cops could have just stayed in the donut shop while the drones swarmed the student.


Heh, I specifically came here to post Impossible Mission!


The lad with the thagomizer. Because of the thagomizer.


Perhaps not but they did have printed manuals.


It would get panned for having such an unbearable protagonist. Both boring and incompetent, he bungles his way through one tedious life event after another. Nothing of meaningful consequence happens.


A lot of older games assumed you’d never played a video game before so had quite extended tutorials. It’s a tough balance to get it right for complete novices and gnarled grognards alike.


Are you expecting us to trawl reddit to have a clue what you’re talking about?
It’s still a solid site in search results for answers to video game puzzles or tech questions.


chrono crimes
Oh, yeah, I saw it as Timecrimes, I think. There’s a couple of good time travel films which require the occasional head scratch. Primer’s one of my favourites.


Generaly I like movies with a good twist, or that require a bit of thinking, so things like The Usual Suspects, Seven, Memento or Shutter Island (though not so much films that fall into this category but which I feel cheat, like The Prestige.
I also quite like ‘clever protagonist outsmarts the antagonist(s)’ films, like The Amateur, Law Abiding Citizen, or, I suppose The Usual Suspects also falls into this group as well, though I prefer it when the cleverness is plausible and not crazy accurate prediction on exactly how people will react to chnaging evens (Law Abiding Citizen has a bit too much of this).
But they’re not really guilty pleasures. My guilty pleasures are American Hich School movies, like 10 Things I Hate About You, Heathers, or even Bring It On. Bonus points if it features an unconventional teacher or coach who turns underdog teams or academics around, like Coach Carter or Dangerous Minds.


Favourite is a tough ask.
I love southern US style BBQ, and if they do a good ‘Jacob’s ladder’ beef rib I’ll be there on the regular.
I also love a good curry, but it has to be either authentic Indian, or authentic BIR. If it’s the former then I love a Dosakaya Pappu, an authentic Goan Pork Vindaloo, or a Mutton Paya. If it’s the latter then I love a good Lamb Madras or Chicken Jalfrezi.
I love good Mexican food, there was. a place I used to go to in London that did an amazing seafood enchilada, but they’ve taken it off their menu and it’s the only thing I ever ordered it was so good.
But, for favourite it has to be a good steak house. And in an ideal world, I’ll have the ribeye, cooked as the chef suggests (which usually means a medium rare for a ribeye) with a bonemarrow butter sauce, thick cut chips, and maybe a couple of portabello mushrooms.
Hmm, you make a good point. I suppose, similarly to American mustard with hot dogs, a German sweet mustard with a Weißwurst and pretzel is allowable. But let’s not get carried away, here!
