So what is Vegemite? According the the packaging it is “Concentrated Yeast Extract”. I did a little research and originally came from the left overs from brewing beer. Supposedly it is quite good for you and is full of Vitamin B. The taste is hard to describe salty, tangy, and bitter. It is definitely an acquired taste.

It was difficult for me to find it in the US, and I had to order it off the internet. There was some controversy in the media awhile back about it being banned in the United States. I guess it was like everything else in the media, overblown sensationalism with little truth and a lot of spin.

    Ah well, fair …
    Ah well, fair enough, blame language then.
    Speedruns in games are not time lapsed, for example, they’re playthroughs with as little time wasting as possible. (But then again, some are tool assisted, so what do I know?)

    Also, to the downrankers. Geez! It’s just a little critique, but, ah well. Doesn’t really matter anyway.

    It’s not a …
    It’s not a speedpainting if you simply speed it up. Heck, with a time-lapse, the Mona Lisa would be a speedpainting as well :P , but that has probably been said before, so I’ll shut up now.
