Is your studio obsessed with bacon?

Justin Meisse · Jan 2009

Is your studio obsessed with bacon or is this just a Mythic thing? I blame Bacon Salt's aggressive marketing to game devs (giving packages of bacon salt to producers at shows)

Marnik · Jan 2009

I don't work in a studio, but I do believe there is some serious bacon conspiring going on

>_>

<_<

PixelGoat · Jan 2009

Bacon is good.

pliang · Jan 2009

Bacon is the norm these days.

Marnik · Jan 2009

I could go for some Filet Minion wrapped in bacon right about now =]

Blaizer · Jan 2009

East · Jan 2009

It's Veronica Belmont's fault.

Xenobond · Jan 2009

It really is annoying. So many emails I have to delete every day.

blankslatejoe · Jan 2009

We're totally bacon obsessed where I work. Bacon salt had a lot to do with it..and I think someone ordered a jar of Baconaisse too. Also, this link helped: http://blog.ingamenow.com/2008/12/12/the-woven-bacon-wrap-a-culinary-case-study/

Marnik · Jan 2009

I figure if I dont die having sex, eating bacon is the next best way to check out.

i lol'd

jbrophy · Jan 2009

Baconaisse? I pray in my soul this is true.

ColinR · Jan 2009

Is this better?

Mmmmm, bacon!

Matabus · Jan 2009

AHHHHH! It's happening here too!

bugo · Jan 2009

for me its coffee

Mark Dygert · Jan 2009

New talent has nothing to fear. Openings are being created every day as seasoned vets clutch their chests with greasy, bacony hands... at least you go out happy.

Xenobond · Jan 2009

END OF DISCUSSION!!

skankerzero · Jan 2009

I wouldn't say the ENTIRE studio, but there have been plenty of email threads just about bacon here.

Emil Mujanovic · Jan 2009

I had a bacon and egg muffin for breakfast this morning... Does that count?
I need to find out if this infamous bacon salt is available in Australia.

Ours is obsessed with cock, specifically drawing them in the metro (a free daily newspaper) during lunchbreaks.

It can be an interesting read if someone has been there before you.

Jesse Moody · Jan 2009

smart ones here. It doesn't seem to die.

Not just Mythic, same kind of thing going on at GBX.

Funky Bunnies · Jan 2009

Yes. I has no job, but I too am obsessed with bacon - which is entirely because of baconsalt. I bought the original flavors and baconaisse simply so i can lay them upon already baconated food items to DOUBLE - no TRIPLE the experience.

unfortunately this was before the new flavors came out - and to my dismay, the local grocer's response was negative when I sent in a request to carry the new flavors!

bacon lip balm is a necessity, though

hawken · Jan 2009

bacon for some reason appears to be the new internet meme

eld · Jan 2009

my personal favorite:

bacon without bacon!

JO420 · Jan 2009

Our studio is obsessed with bacon,its a Danish thing they have the best bacon in the world i shit you not. Our chefs include it into all sorts of foods all the time. I would say i eat bacon at least once a week. I believe all of the bacon in the UK is Danish bacon.

aesir · Jan 2009

Bacon explosion. I'm making it for superbowl

JohnnyRaptor · Jan 2009

scampi flavoured nik naks

is all im gonna say

Justin Meisse · Jan 2009

oh yeah, someone made that bacon icecream at Mythic but I didn't get to try any.

Steve Schulze · Jan 2009

So for those of us who haven't grown up in a culture where it seems to be considered entirely normal, what the hell is with combining salted meats with sugar? Now look, I'm a fan of icecream. Icecream is awesome. Hell it's the only thing keeping me sane in this freaking heatwave. I don't mind bacon if it's not too heavily salted and has had the worst of the fat soaked up. But bacon icecream? Let's just read this out loud here.
"Bacon...Icecream".
"Bay-con... Ice-cream".
"Bacon Icecream". These are not two things that are meant to go together. One is distinctly sweet, the other very much savoury. Vanilla Icecream- great. Chocolate- peachy. Bacon? Madness.
You know, the Japanese make icecream out of sweet corn and pumpkin. I can dig that. They're all kinda sweet. But Bacon? It boggles the mind.
And it doesn't stop there. You have cookies. Sweet cookies with bacon. Or bacon doused in teeth hurtingly sweet syrup... I mean. What is it with you?

I don't believe bacon ice cream is normal in any culture, but we're an obese nation that's addicted to greasy, fatty, salty, and diabetes-inducing sugary foods. It was only a matter of time before someone came up with it.

Justin Meisse · Jan 2009

it's just as crazy in the US as it is in Australia... you can't walk into a Ben & Jerry's and buy bacon icecream.

But ham is one of those meats that you cook with sweet stuff like brown sugar or honey so maybe it's not so crazy.

sir-knight · Jan 2009

canada has maple ham and maple bacon... both products are smoked and drenched in maple syrup... which is a very sweet substance.. I can't each maple products because it goes right to the core of your teeth, even if you don't have cavities.

I like turkey bacon.

Matabus · Jan 2009

Sweet and salty go great together. Trail mix? Chocolate covered pretzels? All good things.

Farfarer · Jan 2009

Speaking of bacon, this has to be the best household utility ever invented.

aniceto · Jan 2009

I dont think those bacon strips are salty after theyve been candied.
besides salty+sweet can be an awesome combo!
Jackablade, you really have to try bacon and pancakes with some maple syrup. YUM
