So how do you improve the some of the millions of little things we experience in our lives? Do you have certain music that matches well with specific videogames? the perfect spice to throw in to your favourite recipes? or fun little eccentricities about day to day life?

Lets share our helpful tips here.

 

For instance, when playing Monopoly, forget those little silly pieces. You can improve the game by injecting some of your own flavour into it with custom pieces. Lego Pirates, army men, little dinosaurs. Look through your old (or new) toys for that little guy or girl that perfectly catches your style, or just something hillariously dumb.

 

Ok, what's everybody else got?

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I find the presence of a(my) dog makes most things more enjoyable. Such as hiking, watching a movie on the couch, a car ride (with a dog seat belt) or even talking to people (since you can talk about the dog or pay attention to the dog during lulls in conversation). I guess any pet would do the same, but for some reason, there is a negative connotation to walking a cat.

I find that when you are cooking food, it is so much more fun if you just try out whatever kind of spices you can even if you don't think they will go well on the food. Sometimes you fail horribly, but other times you find something totally unique!

I remember one time I put ground allspice (mostly nutmeg) on some steaks I was making along with my regular seasonings, and when my family ate them they said it was the best tasting steak they had ever eaten and asked me what I put on it!



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

We all know that. that's not a very helpful tip! How about "Listen to music by the Goblins while playing Survival Horror" or Ska while making pancakes

I've walked an Iguana. How's that stack up?

Drinking a strong energy drink such as NOS while studying helps you focus really well. Even if you don't need to stay up all night it still helps you focus so well.

I totally do that. My Triceratops keychain, which I got at the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology, broke, so I used it as a playing piece when we had like 10 people playing. I've used it ever since. I sometimes roar when moving, lol.

When walking on campus, I try and create a song which flows to the beat of my steps.

I know one thing that can enhance or better most anything that is already good on its own... but I don´t want to glorify it here since minors might be reading...
