I had a fantastic French onion soup made with Guinness at an Irish pub I ate at a week or two ago.

Unless I can buy a SecuROM-free copy of Crysis Wars, I'm not going to play MW: LL.

I don't think Crysis Wars has SecuROM (i think warhead does though)

[SpardaSon21]

I think Crysis Wars only comes as a bundle with Warhead though, which does contain SecuROM.

So, apparently Scotland has biker gangs, and there is a massive one in Aberdeenshire called the Blue Angels. Saw them on Friday night whilst walking with my girlfriend to the bus station in Aberdeen.

Strange.

i picked mine up years ago at walmart for next to nothing. the set comes on 2 dvds, crysis wars has its own disc and you dont need to instal warhead at all. securom isnt so bad. so long as it doesnt screw up my disc virtualization tools im ok with it. if it was starforce, **** no, i pirate games that use starforce, as a matter of principal (i dont usually pirate games, but any company that is evil enough to use starforce doesnt deserve my buisness).

Review time:
Red Label Johnny Walkers

It's the low end of the Johnny Walker's line, but that isn't to say it tastes like ****. For two twenties, you can have yourself a 750mL bottle of the better scotches out there. What makes it an excellent price to flavour purchase? Just by itself, it goes down smooth, with a slight burn that feels good rather than eating through your throat sensation. Mixed, it goes quite well with Canada Dry Ginger Ale giving you that sweet flavour while not completely dominating the scotch itself. Haven't tried it with coke, but I'd imagine it to be far too strong (the coke) leaving you with a hint of the flavour.

Personally, having it neat on the rocks is the better choice here. Scotch wasn't meant to be mixed, it was meant to be had by itself. It isn't something to inhaled, but enjoyed.

If you have a cigar, smoke it on a patio for bonus points

Hmm, you may make an absolute ****fight of yourself on the rest of the board, but you are good at reviewing alcohol. Good post.

They're separate installs

[SpardaSon21]

Okay, but does Crysis Wars use SecuROM too?

Red Label is in the lowest spot on the scotch whisky totem pole. It's the stuff you mix with coke for people who don't like scotch. Honestly, spend the money and get something decent. I'm talking single malt, minimum 12 years old. I'm a lowlands man myself, with an occasional desire for a bit of smoke (Islay). Grab a bottle of Auchentoshan 3 Wood or Glenkinchie 12 YO. worth the extra money so many times.

Oh, and as for Bacardi, definitely nasty stuff. Tastes like Glue. The Havana Club White is pretty much the standard that White rums need to aspire to (or beat), and it's relatively cheap as well. Find a bottle and never look back (especially you Dilmah, it used to be hard to find, but it's all over Perth these days).

if you can find it get a bottle of ak-47 vodka. its chinese made, but its pretty good vodka.

Indeed true. Then again, if someone doesn't like Scotch, why are they requesting a drink with Scotch in it? That's something I'll look into though. I've always dreamed of having Single Malt before, but it's not like I'm bleeding through the ears with cash (and I'm trying to not look like an alcoholic... albeit perhaps too late at this point)

On that note though, in order to appreciate the higher end, you need to start at the lowest point. If you start at the top, you wouldn't of had the chance to build up to it. My next bottle of scotch will most likely be Blue Label. Of course, I need to finish that liqueur first

Thanks. At least I'm good for something

Sidenote: How could I improve on these reviews? I can say I'm quite enjoying (weeee) the tasting of these products, but knowing what you guys want to hear about them would be excellent

[Dilmah G]

I think your reviews are great as they are, just the right blend of practicality, class, and humour to make them enjoyable reading. Hell, I would subscribe to your alcomohols thread if you started one. Would also be interested to see what your opinion on Canadian Club is, as it's currently my favourite beverage when going out, but I'm not really a man to appreciate anything with serious bite.

Oh yeah, tasted like PETROL!

Hmm, I haven't heard of Havana Club White, but if it's pretty widely available I don't see why I shouldn't give it a try next weekend. What's the price-range on it, though?

[qazwsx]

**** man, I can't remember what the stuff I drink tastes like the morning after, pretty sure I drank hand sanitizer one crazy night in bradford.

[Mongoose]

I stick to beer myself, mostly.  I hate the burn of raw ethanol that seeps into hard stuff, or at least the lower grades of them.
