The Makings of a Perfect Brownie:

1) A perfect brownie should be crunchy on top that the surface cracks the minute you sink your teeth into it.

2) The texture should be chewy and moist and fudge-like that the act of chewing every morsel of it is equally pleasurable as that of having a foodgasm.

3) A perfect brownie should never contain any leavening agents such as bicarbonate of soda or baking powder (unless you want a cake-like brownie, then I believe one should just eat cake instead). Any brownie recipe that includes these sacrilegious additions is well, a sacrilege!

4) The proper mixing of all the brownie ingredients is also a factor. If you just mix all the ingredients together and dump everything into a baking pan, the brownie top won’t be as crunchy, unlike when you separate the egg whites from the yolks, beating the whites with sugar just until thick and frothy, much like a runny meringue before mixing with the rest of the ingredients is the secret to a crunchy top… I promise!

5) And lastly, of course a perfect brownie should taste like it is blessed by a Mayan god cacao connoisseur. It should be ooh-ing and screaming chocolate. So use the best quality chocolate bar or cocoa powder.

Crunchy Top Fudge Brownies

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup good quality cocoa powder (I use a German brand cocoa powder -Heintz, you can use a Dutch-processed cocoa powder… means it is alkalized)

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 cups granulated sugar

4 eggs (medium), separated

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups all purpose flour, sifted

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups dark chocolate chips

*2 cups whole walnuts (optional)

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 350’F. Line a 9”x13” rectangle baking pan with baking parchment.

- Melt butter in a medium sauce pan over low heat. When melted, remove from heat and add cocoa powder, mix until smooth.

- Add brown sugar, salt, vanilla, egg yolks and flour. Set Aside.

- Using a hand mixer/wire whisk/stand mixer, beat egg whites until frothy. Then slowly add the granulated sugar until meringue gets into a soft peak stage.

- Fold the meringue mixture into the chocolate mixture. Then mix in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts (optional).

- Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 50 minutes to an hour or until when toothpick inserted in the center of the brownie comes out with moist crumbs (not wet brownie batter).

- Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then lift from the baking pan and cut into 24 square pieces. Cool cut brownies on wire racks.

- Store in an air tight container. Laid flat and layers separated by parchment paper.

Minecraft. You’re some blocky person that punches trees made out of pixels and you kill dead people, spiders, and giant green penises that blow up

Dead Space. You’re an engineer, and your dead girlfriend is clingy and attacks you.

Shadow of the Colossus. You’re this little guy running around in this empty space looking for these giants to kill, just to revive your dead girlfriend lolz

Pokemon: you leave your house to be an animal trainer.

Battlefield: Basically Call of Duty.

Sims- basically the boring part of real life- houses, jobs, money,kids- rolled into a game.

Skyrim; Walkin, walkin, walkin, arrow in the knee, new spell, poof, HEY A DRAGON! but wait… your game froze.

some weird robot lady locked you in a closet and you make holes and shit to get to the door

Alice: Madness Returns: Crazy Alice-poser runs around slashing shit with a knife and and fighting all these things in this place because she’s crazy

Space Harrier - You’re a guy who clings to a inexplicably free-roaming jet engine that only goes at Ludicrous Speed and you have a weapon you never see that shoots lasers or sommat at large lumpy obstacles. Sometimes you die because you fly into a mammoth.

Silent Hill: You’re looking for you child because you are a terrible father and lost her. You encounter some cult and drug peddling shit and you get creeped the fuck out. You end up finding out your kid is the reincarnation of a “virgin Mary” type figure and you end up killing the god she gives birth to.

you’re an italian renaissance playboy who does literally nothing but kill a bunch of people because his family was killed, thus fighting violence with violence, and there is literally nothing else in the game except for some historical figures who want to bang you (or your dad)

Portal 2: You’re a brain-damaged woman who can’t talk. You team up with a potato and jump through some holes so some robot can get off on it. In co-op you and your partners are robot slaves who jump through some holes so another robot can get off on it.

You can either be a guy, who doesn’t have a gun in the very start of a game or a girl, who does (but that makes everything easier, which is stupid as fuck), and get trapped in a horrible fucking mansion, surrounded by stupid ass zombies, dogs, lizard type things, snakes, and this huge fucker with his heart expose. You also find out that one of your team mates is a fucking traitor. But he get what he deserve in the end…… actually no. When the fucking place blows up, he still fucking lives. Fucking douche.

Fallout New Vegas:
you wake up as a mailman who was shot in the head by some asshole in a checkered suit who’s trying to take over post-apocalyptic NEW Vegas. You have to chose to either help a +200 year old walt disney looking robot monitor guy, the guy who shot you in the head/his overly passive aggressive doormat of a robot, a failed and very corrupt republic, or some slaver dudes who wear skirts and have wild sex with each other and have watched one too many gladiator holotapes, to rule over the beacon of shining light in the Mojave desert/wasteland

Along the way, you find a gang of Elvis Presley impersonators, a bunch of technology crazy hermits who live in a hole in the ground, fancy cannibals, an angsty 30-something year old sniper who just lost his wife, a mexican mechanic ghoul, a mutant who thinks you’re her grandchild, A lesbian scrapper, a cyberdog, and a gay doctor/researcher.

you fight various things that may or may not be (but are most likely) hostile due to over radiation/genetic modification. Giant Bugs, mutants, feral ghouls, deathclaws, etc.

Final Fantasy 7 tells the 100 hour long story of a guy with cool hair. His name is Cloud and is very, very sad. He carries a giant physics-defying sword around with him at all times. His black friend is also sad because the environment is being destroyed by a big company that controls every thing. Some flower girl with cool hair is the last of a species of world-savers, who gets stabbed right when she was praying to world to safety. The main villain is this guy who’s the bastard child of an alien and surrogate female. He also carries a giant physics-defying sword around with him at all times, only he is evil with it. the The lego-like graphics are great…for it’s time. Cait Sith.
