    Yeah.. I saw that and I think it looks gross.

    What I found interesting is that most of the pre-order bonuses (and all of the ones that come as standard) are for games other than D4...

    lol it reminds me of an old commercial for some restaurant back in the day where this guy had a 'salad' with so much meat and cheese on it that you could barely see lettuce and his wife stays at him but he says "hey its still a salad!"

    As long as you can't get a KFC in game (that would be lore stupidity), I'm OK about this sort of cross over, not that I would eat one mind you. :)

    Wasn't it WoW that had a tie in where you could order Panda Express in game?

    I can remember putting that on a list of WoWs lore abuses and one of our posters replied "At least the Pandaran had some lore behind them" and the thing was that was true, some of the other stuff I mentioned they had just skated over lore wise. :)

    Also, as I understand it, this is a lesser beta than the open beta coming the following weekend in that the Necro and Druid are missing from this one.

    They should be giving you a Lilith action figure instead :)

    In my old age I am grateful for two things it would seem . I dislike cured meats of any kind and carbonated drinks. It may have saved my health. I have never eaten sausages or ham and I avoid all these burger joints. I eat meat but not cured in any form. I suppose it is because I am very attached to my South Indian cuisine and am a horrible coward where food is concerned.

    South Indian food is very hot food but you're right . When I was younger and went around to many countries with my husband he would constantly lament my inability to eat any meat. We drown our meat within an inch of its already dead life until the meat only tastes of the spices. So eating in any European country 30 years ago meant I could only pick the one salad on the menu.

    However since I'm Malaysian I have quite an interesting choice between Malay, Chinese and Indian food. I have tried to eat a bit of ham, sausage (that went badly) and once BBQ meat and without slathering the BBQ meat with Lingam's Chilly Sauce I was unable to eat the meat. That's pretty pathetic as my kids and husband constantly remind me. Nowadays I have no problems because you can get vegetables only in many, many countries.

    I work with a number of Indian workers, some who are vegan, others who enjoy meat, especially chicken or fish.

    But when it comes to beef or processed meats of any kind many have shared they got quite ill after trying to eat some for their first time so clearly it's something which one might have to grow up eating.

    I feel the same way about seafood...yuck...  :#

    I think some of you guys needs to..I don't know, get out more?

    Seeing this as "gross" or "weird" , actually makes you weird...at least.

    Nothing wrong with this advertising. Move on, don't buy and don't .. look? ..if you don't like it.

    Beta key for a game from a fast food chain. Not a game key, not an in-game item. A beta key for a weekend beta preview 3 months before the game's release.

    Happens all the time for all games. Nope. Nothing to see here.

    Coming next week: alpha weekend key for Star Citizen with every tube of Preparation H. Definitely also not weird.

    Thats all you read into? "Don't look"? What about "Move on"? or .. "Don't buy" it ? 

    Fine if you don't like it. Seeing it gross for an advertising is whats wrong with you and not ..not liking it.

    Once more.  I cannot "Move on" until I looked.  I looked and didn't like it and made a single 1 line statement around it. 
    Again, sorry if my dislike of the greasy meat bun sandwich offended you. I will try not to criticize  greasy meat bun sandwiches in the future when I think you might read my post.
