So... how's Ramen Raijin? I cant really compare it to any other ramen places since I haven't been to any

I wrote a review on it a few pages back.

It's neat. Has some novelty ramens like a bamboo charcoal one. It's definitely worth checking out if Sansotei (very closeby to Y&D) is full or lined up out onto the street.

I'd recommend Kinton, Touhenboku, or Sansotei (Sansotei is amazing.) above Raijin, but Raijin is definitely worth stopping into just to check their menu out.

Yeah looks like it. Tims can make it blend in fine. This one is near where I work:

It's that way because it's in a "heritage" part of town.

Throw the money at him and grab the box and run!

I can vouch for Fuzzy. I got Uncharted: Golden Abyss off of him. He's good people. Or good animal. Either or.

Fuzzy gave me Super Metroid but I didn't have to meet him for it which is good because I wouldn't want him to know I'm not really a shut-in.

I wouldn't trust Fuzzy, he has hair now. If TV has taught me anything, it's that the twin with more hair is always the evil one.*

Wait, you actually want another Tim Horton's?

I guess the other 250 Tim Hortons locations in Toronto aren't enough for him. (I'm not kidding. There really are that many

I don't really care if it's a Tim Hortons or not. These asses didn't patronize a local bakery and it went out of business. If people want to start a franchised bakery, the neighbours complaining about it are egotistical and pretentious, especially when they're responsible for gentrifying the area in the first place.

WHO HAS A FUCKIN MEET UP ON A THURSDAY?!

edit: SHUT UP, KRAFTWERK! I HAD A TRAPPIST BEER!

Bah, as this is a Friday, Soultron said he won't be able to make it cause he'll be busy with getting drunk at his company party. Damn, I wish I could go to a gaming Xmas party...

Anyways, shoutout to Soultron and a big thanks! Lots of good info about 'the industry' and a bunch of good stories too. I only wanted to punch him only 3 times instead of 5 times like I did EM.

Goddamn this season and it's seasonal 'cheer'. I got a shitty company party on the 14th,and also a team party on the 17th...sigh and now this neogaf kraft vs kave battle on the 20th. Dammit, Soultron! You're so right. No time to play anything besides handhelds

It was my first real ramen place I went to other than Momofuku and it was pretty good. Definitely better than Kenzo lol

Wow, no...I guess food is subjective, but Sansotei is just about the bottom rung of the dedicated ramen places, only a notch above Kenzo. Pure salty. Raijin is top, with Kinton and Santouka up there.

Source: Me and (almost) all the Japanese people I know.

Haven't been to Touhenboku yet, so I can't comment there.

So Raijin, Kinton, Santouka, Sansotei....Kenzo...?

I agree for Kinton and Santouka; Raijin I have yet to try.

Sansotei may not be super good but only a notch above Kenzo...? C'mon....

Wut, Sansotei is the best one.

Also the aquarium is goddamn amazing. There are parts of it that are downright magical.

The only bad thing is that it's still crowded as fuck and there are assholes who keep trying to take flash photos in the dark areas, blinding everyone.

Kinton's dope! They're opening up a new location in Korea town by Christie station by the end of the month as well.

I'm so pumped. Kinton is my favourite spot in Toronto and the new shop being on Bathurst puts it on my commute to/from work.

I'm nearly at 30 bowls, so this should make it go by pretty quick!

None of you guys/gals have said anything on the meet up thread. We have 7 confirmed coming, 8 if Kave_Man brings his fro. I'd understand if the girls didn't want to go; you all are a bunch of savages.

No answer? :(
