I just meant a good sounding parp. As in literally, the sound of an airhorn. I was hoping someone might hear the airhorns in that track and maybe put it into a star citizen bug video. Just trying to promote open development posts about star citizen. Sorry I mislead you, but I promise I'll edit it in two weeks to be clearer to my vision for that post.

You have to remember, my post development history is only 1.5 years, you gotta expect bugs. No-one has ever done this before.

some pretty bad chili opinions on this page

what makes chili is the spices, and specifically the chili pepper. you could have a pure vegetable chili if you wanted, but that would be pretty bad because the hearty blend of capascin and cerotine doesn't work well with most vegetables.

legumes of all kinds are sort of an exception because they are sort of spongy without being runny, so they soak up the lovely buzz of the chili without becoming a terrible mess the way it would be if you put a lot of flour or something in it.

or, you know, alternately you could stop pretending and put beef, chicken, and pork in there, which is the original marinating medium, and just have a good experience backward to forward. i mean you can go with beans or whatever if you want, nobody's judging you, but you're just gonna have a better time if you just go full on with stuff that marinades properly. you don't marinade beans for a reason!

anyway my personal chili tip is to put a beer of your choice into the crock pot as you're cooking it. darker beers like porters and stouts work better, but if you're a huge fan of lagers i've had a couple of those also work okay. paprika and cloves are also good complementary spices.

I have good luck with either Guinness or Sam Adams Boston Lager.

Hello Commandos
My mates just left and he filled in the blanks.
He was made chairman of a company by an old pal of his, a very very big company, mainly so his pal could gently caress off for a couple of years and do the millionaire thing.
So, the guys who went to prison got sent down for 5 years, in that time the company policy was that they would still get salaries put into a trust fund ready for their release - a couple of hundred grand a year each they were on :psyduck: - since this was the policy it had to happen.
So my mate waited until the day of their release, this meant the funds were available to them (and him), he made the live stream of himself giving all the money away literally hours after they were released from prison, that way he could legally, as the chairman do it and they can do nothing about it.

Fuckin :lol:

Standalone Ship - Endeavor Master Set is $900 and that will give me a ship with general science, a big telescope and some bio-domes.

Ah that's a shame, I've been enjoying his dayZ videos for a few weeks now and he seems decent, if a bit pretentious in game.
The video was alright but no one can ever make this game seem interesting, it's like what i'd imagine a sci-fi movie directed by Alan partridge would be like.All superfluous nonsense on the screen and overcluttered HUDs galore.

Go spend that money on feeding the poor or something, make a difference in someone's life, don't give it to scam artists. (I'm sort of joking but sort of not really)

I put that to him and his take on it is they probably won't do anything because they are in another country, getting on a bit and probably have a few other wads of cash stashed away.
I did tell him I was worried though and he seemed pretty chill about all that side of it.

I enjoyed him too until i stumbled on what goes on behind the curtain. Basically most of the stuff in the DayZ videos is heavily edited in post production, when you hear him go like "hey mate, hey there, put down your gun pls friendz", that's added in post and he usually smackstalk them or just gun them down in reality. One of the players he did that too and edited it to make himself seem like a saint in post was actually a streamer and posted a youtube of what happened on his end where frankie yells poo poo at him, mows him down and laughs at him or whatever. Then Frankie tried to copyright claim his video and shut down his channel.

There were also some videos with "proof" (i cant tell cause im bad at games) of him hacking in DayZ and CS:GO and he did the same with those.

This combined with all the sponsored poo poo makes him suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper shifty to me.

Basically this man is perfect as the face for SC.

He's been caught out time and time again using hacks, and he's a poo poo at DMCA'ing any negative criticism on him, and then lying to cover his tracks. There are a few videos out there that expose him as a hacker/cheater. All his videos are edited to hell, including re-recording a lot of his voice. He doesn't take part in live competitions for a reason: He's not that good a gamer. I watched him joust people on someone's stream in Reign Of Kings. He lost 6 fights, then won the final one. The final fight ended up in his ROK video. The last I heard about Frankie was that he was banned from Moon's Ark server for hackfuckery.

He makes entertaining vids though, and the DayZ series is well worth watching.

Just imagine that your money went to pay the salary of one of the good employees before they flew the coop. In fact, your money specifically helped them get a better job, by getting a new tie and belt etc. for their interviews.
