Welcome to Morning Hangover -- an excellent way to start your day with the crew at TheFeed...no matter what you're recovering from. Every morning you'll hear musings from our editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world.
What the hell do vegetarians eat on Thanksgiving? I asked MMO Report producer and actual vegetarian Patrick Roche-Sowa this very question, and he said: "Tofurkey is actually really tasty."
If you're lucky enough to have never heard of Tofurkey, let me hip you to its existence. It's a fake turkey made from tofu. And no, it is not "actually really tasty." I can say this confidently, without ever having eaten one. Want to hear the weird part? Patrick says he didn't even eat Tofurkey last night. Instead, he eschewed Thanksgiving feasting altogether and had a salad or something. Roche-Sowa is some kind of Communist.
Anyway, I'm going to burn off yesterday's Tryptophan with a rousing game of Assassin's Creed 2 now. What are you up to today?

The Day Before Thanksgiving Day, Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, The Day After Black Friday, and The Day After The Day After Black Friday have all been filled with Dragon Age: Origins. I assuming that all the days to come this year will still be filled with Dragon Age: Origins mixed in with Left 4 Dead 2 and a little Modern Warfare 2. Plus GRID is still awesome.

I have also tried the Tofu Turkey while visiting a friend of mine a few weeks before Thanksgiving. Mr. Stephen Johnson, you Sir, are 100% correct. It tastes like vomit. Not only that, but my poor, poor, friend had convinced himself it was \"tasty and good for you\". I told him it was \"Nasty and might try and kill you\". We then got drunk and discussed what our escape plan would be in case the Tofu Turkey did indeed try to kill one of us. Later, after we were no longer worried about the Tofu Turkey's nefarious ways, I explained to him that he was becoming one of those smug California types (you know what I mean, Californians!!) and after a pretty long discussion he finally admitted to me that he hated it, but he wanted to justify his decision to give up all meat by convincing himself that foods like Tofu Turkey tasted good. Then, the Tofu Turkey shot him in the neck and tried to run me over with the car...I escaped, barely.

I just want to say that I know its almost time for it to start so I'm gonna start it up early. Game of the Year. I have rented and played so many games this year I think I should own a stake in Blockbuster by now. In all that renting only one game has truly blown me away and kept me saying, \"Oh, that was freaking sweet!\" every about 10 minutes and that game, surprisingly or not, is Assassins Creed 2. I know what I think isn't going to really impact anything, but I really think that AC2 deserves to be Game of the Year. I understand that Left 4 Dead 2, Modern Warfare 2, and ODST were all amazing games (don't get me wrong, they really are amazing) but in each of them I had a moment were I would think, \"this is cool but...\" AC2 (at least for me) had it all. Amazing graphics, great game play, phenomenal voice acting, characters you could actually connect with and care about, a followable and explainable storyline, game mechanics that worked really well (despite a few glitches), and not to mention that it takes a while to go through the story. Is it perfect? No. Does it have multiplayer? No. But Game of the Year shouldn't be able whether a game is perfect or if it has multiplayer. It should be about how fun was the game and how the game is on its own, not compared to other games. In my opinion, AC2 had what I look for in a game. Great graphics, a good storyline, characters you could relate to, a good deal for the money spent, and basic controls that work. I am actually really happy with the fact that AC2 doesn't have a multiplayer. I contest that its a game that knows who it is and does force in a multiplayer component just to have one. As everyone knows, doing that can really hurt the game and the experiences it provides. So in the end, does Assassins Creed 2 have a multiplayer? No. Is it perfect? No. But in the end, its more important that a game be fun, be a good value, and allow the player to enjoy themselves. I won't trash any other game (because like I said they are all really good games) but what I can honestly say that Assassins Creed 2 has that most other candidates in the Game of the Year column don't is a campaign that is long and engaging, not just a few hour action romp...

Playing 2K10 that I picked up at Wal-Mart for $25. Thanks for the tip G4. ;)

Tofu Turkey??
Why not just eat slices of Tofu, why have a imitation turkey?
Or just get into a car and get hit by a drunk driver, or maybe even a driver who has the Itis from eating an actual thanksgiving dinner, with a real turkey.

Bought a PS3 slim, have been playing GoW collection, and LBP Goty edition. :D

Vegtarians are fine, at least there is some more basis for what they do.
Vegans are just plain sick puppies. Its one thing not to want to kill, its another to be so screwed up you don't use any animal products. This is also makes them even bigger hypocrites than the god-pounders, mankind cannot live in complete isolation from nature, and everything in nature eats each other at one point or another.
Every Vegan needs to be taken out and forced to attend a few science classes. If that doesn't do the trick then they should just kill themselves, they are traitors to the human race and Life in general.
The worst kind of Vegans are the ones that try to make there pets Vegan! Its like selling your own kids into prostitution. It should be considered a form of animal cruelty.

For my Thanksgiving dinner i had Turkey, cornish game hen, and smoked turkey, along with salad, yams, stuffing, mashed potatos, cranberry sauce, sweet rolls, and pumpkin pie. Oh and the greenbeans with the crunchy onions.
And i loved eating every little (oh alot) bits i ate.
After that i desided to play LBP psp.

If you're a vegetarian (or worse, a vegan) then I think you shouldn't be allowed meat flavored anything. Thats cheating and while I don't mind pulling out a little up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right once in a while, with food its a whole different story!
You want some tofurkey? go chew out the throat of a real gobbler, tear out his guts and stuff him full of nummy nummy something. Stick him in an oven for a few hours and enjoy the bliss that nothing but a gullet full of cooked flesh can provide.

Comedian Jim Gaffy, I can't remember entirely his name, says if vegetarians really don't want meat, why do they make their tofu taste like it. Indeed lol. Borderlands, cousin and I playing co-op, halo 3 odst tried firefight and didn't get too far haha.

I had Tofurkey yesterday, every year for Thanksgiving and Xmas. If cooked well, its good, but the slices are much much better. In fact, I never met a cat that didn't try to kill me over a Tofurkey Slice.

I had Tofurkey yesterday (I have it every year in fact) if done correctly, the \"Bean Curd Bird\" its good, but the Tofurkey slices are the best, I never met a cat that didn't try to kill me for it.

I have been playing AC2 constantly for the past few days. It gets pretty addicting. \"Just one more viewpoint\" \"Just one more glyph\" I really enjoy it. I also like how it incorporates modern day (as in WW2 and Edison) into the puzzles. It still gets frustrating with camera angles and how Ezio jumps in the wrong direction to his death sometime, but the great story overshadows this minute flaw.

Yeah, I'll definitely be playing Assassin's Creed II. Might be taking advantage of Uncharted 2's double cash weekend as well.
The feeling of getting through Assassin's Creed II was amazing. I never wanted the game to end. I haven't felt that about a game in a while. I thought the first Assassin's Creed had an engaging story, but damn!
And plus, I got the kickass soundtrack with the collector's edition! Jesper Kyd is the man!
Anyway, who here is concerned about the next Assassin's Creed? I mean, rumors about a World War II setting? The inclusion of things like tanks and guns as primary weapons may ruin the series for me. I'd say stick to the times where they had swords. I don't want one of my favorite games turning into (dare I say it) a shooter. I'm disgusted at the mere thought of it.
That'd mean the inclusion of multiplayer -- NO!
I know they're just rumors, but seriously? I'd hate for Assassin's Creed to be set in Modern Times or even 100 years ago.

I've been a vegetarian for almost 5 years. I think this year is the first time my family hasn't bitched/made fun of me for it at the Thanksgiving dinner. To answer your question, I have corn, mashed potatoes, rolls, macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole. Along with carrots, celery sticks, cucumber slices, and cheese and crackers. I have yet to delve into the Tofurky realm, but I may do that someday.
