On the topic of tea:

I'd like to recommend the chinese Ba bao cha, aka eight treasures tea. Recharges my power like nothing else. Great after physical or emotional stress. I only have three packs left. :(

Also, turkish Ada chai in the typical tea glasses, with lump or rock sugar at the bottom. Love that stuff.

Finally, peppermint "tea". Dirt cheap, tasty, smells great, very agreeable.

Milk only belongs in black tea or the other "harsh" tasting teas IMHO - perfect combination, though. Yum.

Yum. I like Stash's green & white fusion tea. Delicious, and makes me feel better when I'm under the weather.

That said, I'm going to have a cup and toast to Bish.

Well, I only recently bought turok for 10 bucks, and while severely flawed it turned out rather well and had a lot of room for growth, it's a shame the series may not return from the original devs.

I mean come on, it was better than too human in like every way and took a lot less time, SK is still running :/

Thai Iced Tea.

Truly it is a delicatessical decadence for the tongue.

This also calls for a new Turok. Aptly named Turok: Defiance, to defy the naysayers. More dinos, more mercs, more throat-rips, more!

Earl Grey + sweet condensed milk = awesome, and I feel so sophisticated!
Rooibos tea + sugar + iced = awesome
Chrysanthemum tea + sugar = awesome. A childhood favourite.
Chamomile tea + sugar + iced = awesome. So light and calming.
Dragon Pearl Tea (green tea rolled into balls) + sugar = soooo awesome. Iced or with milk
Artichoke tea + sugar = very interesting and for some reason smells like chocolate.

I also like drinking strawberry-flavoured and other kinds of fruity teas on occasion as well.
White tea is also cool, as well as other crazy teas, like peppermint, rose, etc. I just really like experimenting with teas in general.


Right now.. I don't even know what I'm drinking. I think It's called Lady Grey tea from Twinnings (has a bit of citrus hints to it), with sugar and.. .. .... Coffee Mate added. Haha, I know, I'm bad! It's still good!

Replace any sugar+milk combination with sweet condensed milk (I like the Longevity/old man Brand from nostalgia) for extra goodness.

Tea should be sweet unless you are eating cookies/cake that will sweeten your mouoth before hand!

I'm drinking Mtn Dew wishing for Turok 2.

First game showed real promise, despite it's flaws. I was honestly hoping for a sequel, what a shame. I also heard it sold or at least shipped over 1 million. Times must be tough indeed if those aren't enough numbers to fund a sequel.

You should try Turkish Tea:

...or without sugar to complement the humongous sugar content and awesome taste of turkish sweets. I really miss that stuff.

Well, yes, yes it does. I had to go with it for the T reference though. Tennent's is, in fact, awful. Please don't drink lots of it. Well actually, I suppose if you're going to drink any, then lots is probably the way to go.

I don't drink much in the way of tea but it'd usually be plain old PG Tips or similar with milk and one sugar.

I dont understand all these weird flavored tea's.

it's simply Red Rose(I Love You Grammy!) and milk.

OMG, I'm a Red Rose addict! I'm not gong to talk about the figurines, though k?

I don't put milk in mine either (US broken) but I'm amazed people didn't know that the Brits consider it sacrilege to pass. Whenever my Brit friends are around, and they make tea, they put fucking milk in mine :(

Bish, sorry about your company. I've been ravaged already by this economy, but I still feel awful everytime this news comes to a head.

I like where this thread went.

Straight up Ito En green tea baby. People that put sugar in ruin tea.

Oolong is my second choice if green isn't around.

Best of luck bish!

Why is Vancouver taking all this damage? Our dollar is shit again though we are the least affordable city in North America so that might have something to do with it.

SF and NYC are less affordable than Vancouver, at least in my opinion. I live in Vancouver and check Zillow/CL on the former two regularly just because I kinda wish I lived there.

Sorry to hear about Propaganda. And EAC. And Nexon Vancouver. And Hothead? And EAX. And Backbone Vancouver. And Radical. ... and I sure hope I don't have to say any more of those anytime soon.

i put milk in coffee but milk in tea? how would that even work?
Click to expand...
You all may be interested in HK-style milk tea, preferably the cold version. You start with about 6g of black tea (this is about 3 teabags if you get the standard N. American size), 6-8 oz of hot water, and 3 or more teaspoons of sweetened condensed milk. Optionally chill in a fridge or over a ton of ice. It's like Thai iced tea, but without the extra spices. You can get this in many Chinese restaurants in Vancouver (esp in Richmond), or at joints like Quickly in, say, California.

I love it so much I now occasionally make black tea ice cream, which is fairly awesome. I really don't get why no ice cream maker has jumped on this even though you can get green tea ice cream nearly anywhere.

I do like the taste of tea... enhanced by sugar!
Plus, I am not a fan of bitterness.. which is why my coffee is also always drowning in milk and sugar.

I'll probably get diabetes.

Sorry to those who lost their jobs. I enjoyed Turok for what it's worth.

And I'm sipping on a nice hot cup of peppermint tea right now:

I have no comments about the Turok games, but it always sucks to hear about more people losing their jobs. It's happening all around me, and I'm not even sure about the security my current job, either. So, my condolences to all affected, including Bish.

On the topic of delicious tea, I like to drink oolong, jasmine, and green tea with toasted brown rice, all without milk. Also, mark me down as another Thai iced tea lover. I brew my own, making big pots of it at a time. That way I can have a large pitcher of it in my fridge, at the ready, along with some half & half to top it off.

But there are so many ways to enjoy tea, based on context (what you're eating alongside) some sweeteners gain or lose some aspects - and the tea itself restricts the kind of sweetness you can add. Then there's the mood you're in, adding another dimension. Preparing and drinking tea can be an incredibly deep experience.

Neglected tea addon: Tea rum. It's cold outside where I live, so making a strong, sweet tea with a bit of an edge that's strengthening and letting the warmth wash through me is just heavenly bliss. So good.

Southern U.S.A. sweet tea. Best tea there is, was, or ever will be*. :D

*Just my opinion on the subject. I know others will disagree.

There was a press release about a month after the game came out stating it had gone over one million WW.

But just ask Eidos about how bad a million seller can be.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
My tea recommendations: Roobios, Gunpowder Green tea, Irish Breakfast, Chamomile, and Yerba Mate (especially, if you can find it, the "dark roast" mate).

If you like, you can also mix some of those teas together, for example: 60/70% Mate and 40/30% Roobios or Chamomile can make a tasty drink.

Oh, and you should switch to loose leaf tea. See the Good Eats episode "True Brew 2" for details!

I didn't like the first one but I am sad to hear about the jobs. Just thinking how much different the industry could look once the recession finally comes to an end is a pretty frightening thought.

You keep hearing about how the industry is recession proof but stuff like this happens every week now it seems.

Hey Bish, hope things are well ... or as well as can be.




For teas, I highly recommend checking if you have a Teavana in your area. Their selection is unfuckingbelievable. My new hotness, is a White/Chai blend they demoed (I'd have to look up which particular white and Chai were used).


I brew it with a touch of natural honey and blue agave nectar. OMG ... 0_0 .. amazing. And the shit packs a punch every bit as strong as coffee. It's now a part of my morning ritual.

I've always thought that the"recession proof" comment meant that gamers will still buy games regardless of the economic climate.
