BACON EXPLOSION!!!

The latest group build of 4PAK.
No, its not gunpla, but a cooking project.
Welcome to Bacon Explosion.

Now for starters, the ingredients.

To fill the inside of the core. Normally you'd put veggies in the core, but to being cooked for 4 hours, we werent too confident about that.


So to stick on the safe side, we'd stick to onion only.

From General

Next is the meat.
We went for a healthy combination of Pork, Lamb, and Beef mince.
Alot of smacking around in the mixing bowl.

From General

Adding a little bit of artistic flavouring....

From General

Then, a most important ingredient.
BACON!!!

From General

Twelve rashes in total.

And after every things been prepared and ready, first is to weave the bacon.
William and Sum were confident about the weaving....maybe a bit too confident....

From General

But we did get it right in the end.

From General

Then wrapping it all up

From General

Cooking bacon explosion isnt too hard.
All we need a pile of hot coals.

From General

And a couple of confident minds

From General

Dropping it in.

From General

And leave in for 4 hours.

Mean while, a backup plan was also needed.

From General

With some left over meat, and a little bit of cheese

From General

We got ourselves some Cheese paddies.


Now after 4hours in the BBQ

From General

Visually, it looked like how bacon explosion is supposed to look like.

And when we cut it open, it looks like the results from our sources aswell.
Mince turned into steak....

From General

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
LOOK AT THAT BACON BARK!!! ARRRGGHH

From General

TWO THUMBS UP!
Served inside a nice dinner roll.

From General

So thats it
The simple explaination to Bacon Explosion.
Will you guys be willing to try it out yourselves??

Assassins' Creed Brotherhood

I'm obsessed with Assassin's Creed. Played both 1 and 2 diligently until there was nothing left to do and after the painfully long wait the continuation of AC2 is finally out!

The game was tipped to release on the 18th November 2010 which is today but I got a call from EB games on Tuesday telling me to come pickup on Wednesday. Guess what happened lawl.

Fuck you EB

Moving on. I preordered the game a couple of months ago and went for the Limited Codex edition since it came with some nifty extras, and learning from my previous mistake, I dont have to purchase the extra DLC seperately.

The packaging is rather small but has pretty pictures

From Assassin's Creed

Here we have a sneak peek at the collectors chest

and here's what included in this edition of the game

From Assassin's Creed

Over the past few weeks I've had several discussions with Chung about whether the chest was going to be a cheapo plastic POS but I was glad it wasnt. its still plastic but it looks and feels wonderful...for a box

From Assassin's Creed

Designed to look like a marble chest with the Assassin's seal all over it

From Assassin's Creed

Look at the engravings. nuff said

From Assassin's Creed

The flip side of the cover has a lining of felt fabric and so does the interior of the box

Lifting out the partition with the tab reveals the goodies. I think this was suppose to be a replica of Altair's Codex Journal (hence the name)

The pages have a rough texture to them and are very crisp

From Assassin's Creed

The Codex it self is under 20pages or so but at the end there are a couple of full color gloss pages of artwork

From Assassin's Creed

Sexy

Next we have a packet of cards which I prolly wont bother to open

From Assassin's Creed

Also includes a map of Rome

From Assassin's Creed

is big

From Assassin's Creed

On the reverse is a poster

From Assassin's Creed

I think I prefer the map
The box is pretty deep so tons of stuff inside. Here we have the soundtrack and a Dvd containing Assassin's Creed linage which is a couple of short films

From Assassin's Creed

omfg an envelop

From Assassin's Creed

From Assassin's Creed

out of all the artwork cards it contained I didn't get this one. FML

From Assassin's Creed

Is deep

From Assassin's Creed

Oh and the game at the very bottom

From Assassin's Creed

Can't wait to get into it and just so happens to be holidays for me so don't be alarmed when I try to stab you or climb buildings cos I'll prolly fail horribly

More things for lazy people

Since I really dont have much room left on my desk, the thought of having a 2nd monitor on the table didnt really seem sensible.
Since I always keep my notebook on my table, I wondered if i could somehow make use of my notebook's screen. Infact, there was a way. For 99usd, there was a program called maxivista, which could hijack the notebook's screen and treat is as a secondary monitor for your desktop.
Since 99bux is pretty much half a monitor, and the bandwith of data sent over a wifi connection could make things laggy, i decided on a much easier solution.
Synergy!!
A nice little free application that allows one to control multiple computers with just one keyboard and mouse.

From Screen Captures

In my particular setup, my primary monitor is on my right, and my notebook is on the left.

Due to the limitations of this software, you can only copy and paste text from one computer to another,  but the same does not work for files.
Fortunately, most of my files are network shared between the two computers, so file access isnt too much of an issue.
Although this KVM system does work over wifi, it feels far smoother when I linked up the PC and laptop using a crossover cable. And even with the IP changes, Synergy still manages to pick up the same computers because of their pc names.
So for those with a laptop and desktop next to each other, feel free to give this piece of software a go.
Setup on the server side did take a minute or two to figure out, but once its set, everything seems to work just fine.

Because Monks can get lazy too

And introducing the lastest vegitarian food which i found in my pantry.
Vegitarian instand noodles.
Now if they really wanted to push "vegitarian" food as a healthy food product, i dont think they really got the point with this one.

From General

Now if you notice the small english text written there "Chinese Mahogany Vegetarian Noodles" Mahogany?? I thought that was a type of wood. Or it could refer to a redish brown colour.
Well, fortunately for me, inside was not a lump of wood, but a usual pack of noodles. And the final product was not brown either.
Infact, the whole bowl of noodles turned out to be very green. And the veggie msg carried a strong celery scent. Included was a also a sachet of Green oil. I was a bit suspicious at first, but decided to add it in anyway. I find it hard to discribe the smell, but I wouldnt call it unpleasant.

But if given a choice between this and a packet of 出前一丁, i'd choose the 出前一丁any day.

Just something to keep myself occupied while COD is slowly being... outsourced (damn you leechers!). And my first exam is in 3 days, aww yeah.

Fake Meat

Since this is my second attempted at writing this, I decided to cut back on alot of the ranting....(1st post failed to publish for some reason).

Now most of us would have experienced getting up at 1am and digging through the fridge for something to eat.
Well, a couple of nights ago, i stumbled across this.
It was a trap!!!

From General

Now for those who are more familiar with my family situation, you would know that my mum is a on/off vegan.
And occationally, she would try to slip some of this Fake meat stuff into my diet.

From General

At first glance, it actually did look quite convincing.

Then at closer inspection, I found that it did not have the same meat texture within the meat.

From General

For those who claims to be vegitarians, stop eating this shit. If you were a true vegitarian, you would go munch on a leaf, and not eat some immitation of meat. Its oily, filled with MSG, and will not make you any healthier. It also tastes quite bad aswell.
I'd always recommend getting the real stuff instead.
