I tried going vegan and it didn't work out. About a third of my daily calories come from milk and cheese.
I heard somewhere that Japanese people often find Americans to smell like sour milk. The theory is that we drink so much milk and eat so much cheese that it kind of sinks into our skin--just like a diet of curry or garlic can make you smell like curry or garlic. We reek of spoiled milk all the time; we just don't notice the smell because we've grown up around it. But the Japanese can detect the smell because milk and cheese are extremely rare in Japanese cuisine.
Americans in particular seem to be obsessed with cheese. It's definitely the most popular flavor for snack foods; every other chip in the United States is cheese-flavored.
Lactose tolerance is actually pretty rare worldwide. Most people become lactose intolerant when they're children; the intolerance is there to force the weaning process. But for humans from sub-Saharan Africa and western Europe, lactose tolerance is very common because their ancestors domesticated cows and goats for their milk. We evolved away from lactose intolerance specifically so that we could digest animal milk, a very precious source of protein and a whole bunch of vitamins and minerals that would normally be very hard to come by.
I am so disappointed in you people! I take a cue, open the floodgates for cheese puns ... and nothing! Not a single cheesy one! Tchah! Some people’s children!

Hurrm.
(PS: My heart skipped a beat when I watched the video.)
I am evil. I am not twisted.

On second thoughts... I am going non-dairy.

On the latter, I had his special familiar stuffed and mounted.
Having again the time and impulse to game away, but also being despondent we do not have the Elder Scrolls 6 or Dragon Age 4, I have to admit that:
The target lock of Elex (Piranha Bytes) and DA:Inquisition (BioWare) are disturbingly similar. Meaning: it's pretty bad for playability.
But I think only ELEX got the flak..? Fancy that!
Summa summarum: I wish BP went for the enjoyable battle mechanics the next game, and BW went back to its PC gaming roots.
Less target lock, and the two future gaming releases greatly improved! :-p
