Moved from US to Italy, outlets are different in Europe, first purchase for kitchen things that needed replaced was a slow cooker. Definitely a must-have.

Saeva

My French press and my pressure cooker are my two favourite kitchen utensils. Wooden spoons too, or you're going to end up melting plastic ones one day.

The BEST solution is... Eat nothing but Soylent for the rest of your life, and never worry about silly kitchen contraptions ever again

Artemis

I'll join the list of wanting more crock pot ideas from @Quisse! I rarely cook, but when I do, slow cooker all the way.

Exelethril

Anything that requires minimal effort to cook, sign me up. Paging @Quisse

I like crock pot for very specific things. The "hi low" temperature is unsatisfactory for most of my needs(lo means it gets to top end temp slowly, hi means faster..normally. what that temp is is anyone's guess). Need a forgiving protein for over cooking things. 

I've come to love precise temperature for cooking... But like I said crock pot is great for like...heating up cans of liquid cheese and stuff...

This is why you throw everything in it in the morning, come home from work to dinner ready (and house smelling amazing).

My old roommate used to use it for chili... Beans meat random stuff set for hours. Or corned beef and cabbage... Threw it in and let it fire

Pork(butt) is a very forgiving cut of meat.

Quisse

I will compile a list of my favorite slow cooker things for you guys in the next couple days! 

Trilliana

Back when I could eat meat... my favorite thing with the slowcooker was cooking some pork butt in root beer and I think some BBQ sauce. That pulled pork was so fantastic.

I might become a baker, mm

Any cool games with storylines to watch playthroughs on, on Youtube? (Like Bioshock Infinity etc)

Aesi

Metal Gear Solid has always played like an interactive movie. Lot of fun. Heavy Rain really cool too.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. All of them

Also ff7 crisis core

Anedhel

Splinter cell, pretty much any! Blacklist is pretty.

Also Heavy Rain, if you've never played it (although it's much, much better played than watched).

Exelethril

Any difference between cheap bed frames($230-ish) and expensive ones($1000+) besides price?

Melodie

The Last of Us. Depending if you get commentated playthroughs or not, should be at least six hours of content at the least, and very potentially more. Super great game. Super amazing story.

Just looks. You can get a bed frame, iron, for less than $100 the serves the same function.

Skye

Unless you're specifically trying to get one of those pneumatic bed frames for concealed storage space below the mattress, you're probably better off just getting a cheap bed frame. 

Nicola

If you want to buy an expandable bed frame, pay decent money, otherwise cheap, specifically-sized bedframes will be fine. Just don't be fooled by cheap, expandable bedframes looking like a better deal.

Also if you get a frame that doesn't have wheels, spend a few $ extra somewhere like a Walmart and get pads to put under, these will save floors whether wooden, linoleum, carpet, tile, whatever.
