Lobster and bread are two of our favorite foods on their own. But what happens when you put them together, like the restaurant Perry’s of Milford, Connecticut did for the first time in 1929? You get an even tastier treat — the lobster sandwiches. 

Seafood-loving chefs generally honor the classic style — filling a hotdog bun or similar open-style roll with lobster meat soaked in butter — but are also embracing new twists and variations. The grilled or toasted roll can be buttered on the outside or spread with mayonnaise and is often accompanied by chips, fries, coleslaw or pickles. To spice things up, updated takes feature herby, green garnishes like rosemary, celery and chives, while others toss in crunchy bacon bits.

While lobster rolls are typically associated with the New England area, the classic sandwich has become popular all along the East Coast and in restaurants across the country.

Here are 7 essential lobster rolls to devour this summer:

1. Willi's Seafood and Raw Bar (San Francisco)

Though it’s located in Healdsburg, the heart of California wine country, Willi’s Seafood & Raw Bar pays homage to New England with its warm Maine-style lobster roll fixed up with garlic butter and fennel.

2. B&G Oyster Bar (Boston)

A classic New England plate in the summertime, the Lobster Roll at B&G Oyster Bar comes on a beautifully buttered roll with sweet, fresh lobster and optional bacon, plus butter pickles and french fries on the side.

3. Lure Fishbar (New York)

In the Classic Lobster Roll at Lure Fishbar, the seafood salad is tucked into a fresh, plush brioche and paired with tangy vegetable slaw and salt vinegar chips.

Like many cities around the world, the demand for living space in Berlin has skyrocketed.

A new startup wants to build rentable micro-homes, called Cabin Spaceys (get it?), for travelers. Part-hostel-part-coworking space, each 250-square-foot cabin would be completely powered by solar panels.

The team is crowdfunding to build the first prototype, called the Model-Zero. Outfitted with furniture, central air conditioning, and heat, it will be completed in October, co-founder Andreas Rauch tells Tech Insider.

The Cabin Spacey team plans to build the micro-hotels on apartment building rooftops in Berlin. The idea is to make use of currently unused space, Rauch says.

Cabin Spacey can take advantage of everything that rooftops offer: sunlight, fresh air, and a killer view.

Measuring 250 square feet each, the wooden cabins fit two people. They feature a table, kitchenette, and two beds — with one perched on a loft that features a sunroof. Guests would stay for about $150 a night.

Cannabis is a serious business. 

Currently, medical marijuana is legal in 25 states, with several more considering bills. The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan research group, estimates that it's a $45 billion industry in the US alone. 

This year, the International Cannabis Association hosted the second-annual Cannabis World Congress and Business Exposition in New York City, where cannabis businesses from around the world can network, show off their products, and attend seminars and panel discussions about the burgeoning industry.

Take a look at what went down inside the three-day conference.

The event took place at the Jacob K. Javits convention center in midtown Manhattan. Huge signs with the words "Cannabis means businesses" showed the attendees they were in the right place.

A range of products made from cannabis plants were scattered across the exposition floor. Businesses that directly served the marijuana industry — everything from grow lights to product packaging and financial services — also set up shop.

Because recreational marijuana remains illegal in New York State, none of the products on the expo floor contained THC, a psychoactive ingredient in the plant. Instead, products were made from other chemical extracts, like cannabidiol, also known as CBD. It's often used for both therapeutic and medicinal purposes but doesn't actually get people high. Under certain restrictions, CBD is legal in all 50 states.

Drones have changed the world of photography, empowering amateurs and lower-budget photographers to shoot from vantage points that were once only accessible to famous, well-funded shooters like George Steinmetz and Vincent Laforet.

The result is a proliferation of gorgeous aerial photos. For the third year in a row, Dronestagram has collected submissions to its annual contest. This year's winners were selected with the input of National Geographic photographer Patrick Witty.

With its world-class waves and perfect beaches, the Indonesian island of Sumba is a surfer's paradise. And there's no hotel comparable to Nihiwatu, a retreat that Travel & Leisure just named the world's best hotel for 2016, based on a reader survey.

Nihiwatu has 32 suites inspired by Sumba's traditional thatched homes and a secluded spa that can be reached by a 90-minute trek (or open air safari vehicle, if you prefer).

See why T&L calls it the world's best hotel.

Nihiwatu was founded in 1988 by a couple who "were in search of the perfect wave."

They found it on Sumba, an island off the coast of Indonesia.

Rainy days and Mondays get everyone down. And even if you love your job, work's not always going to be a breeze.

That being said, if you're constantly feeling miserable on the job, your feelings might be more than just a spell of the blues. 

Here are a few indicators that work's actually making you unhappy.

Natalie Walters contributed to a previous version of this article.

You're bored with life

This might be a classic case of your work spilling over into your life. If you're not feeling challenged and motivated in the office, you may experience feelings of dissatisfaction and inertia in other areas of your life.  

You hate all your coworkers

Everyone has someone at the office they might not get along with, a Toby Flenderson to their Michael Scott.

But you definitely shouldn't be feeling that level of animosity toward all or even most of your coworkers. If your colleagues are bumming you out, it's possible that you're just unlucky or the company culture is toxic. Either way, it's not a good situation if you're consistently upset over drama going down in the office. 

You're stuck in a rut

Outwardly, nothing's going wrong at work. You just feel trapped. If you're feeling stuck, that could be messing with your overall life satisfaction. It's probably time to switch things up.

The night sky is an amazing thing. It's like a map, showing us our place in this vast, ever-expanding universe. And it's like a time machine, allowing us to see billions of years back in time — the amount of time it takes light from some of the most distant cosmic objects to reach us.

But when it comes to observing the night sky, not all places are equal. If you were to step out on the street in, say, New York City, you might be able to see a tiny speckling of stars across a hazy sky, at best. 

There are a lot of factors that work together to create optimal stargazing conditions. The higher the altitude of a site, the drier the air, and the further it is from the light pollution of cities, the more stars you can see in the night sky.

If you're ever in the mood for a night of stargazing (and have access to a jet plane), here are a few spots you should check out.

The NamibRand Nature Reserve in Namibia was the first reserve to achieve Gold Tier dark-sky status from the International Dark-Sky Association, which means its sky quality is ideal for stargazing.

Kruger National Park in South Africa, the largest game reserve in South Africa, is far from pollution and artificial lights of towns and cities.

The summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii is nearly 14,000 feet. It's so high that as you climb the mountain you rise above the clouds. If you can power through the cold and the altitude sickness, you'll be rewarded with a clear view of the Milky Way.

Theresa Roemer first made headlines in the summer of 2014, when her 3,000-square-foot, three-story closet was featured on the Neiman Marcus blog. 

But all of that publicity might not have been a good thing for Roemer, since she was robbed of a reported $1 million dollars' worth of luxury goods shortly after. 

So the Houston socialite, entrepreneur, and former Mrs. Houston decided to put her mansion and beloved $500,000 closet on the market for $12.9 million in 2014, reports the Houston Chronicle. 

After failing to sell after a year and a half on the market, the home is now headed to the auction block.

In addition to having the "largest closet in America," the Woodlands home has 10 bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, two kitchens, a wine tasting room, and an in-home spa and movie theater. All of these amenities are spread across 17,315 square feet. 

Roemer apparently already has plans for her next closet to be twice as big.

Seven months ago, Claudia Telles was making $41,000 a year working for a Chicago-based hospital.

Today, she's at the same institution with a different role — she transitioned from the business-operations team on the academic side of things to being a quality specialist on the hospital side — and receiving a much higher annual salary: $72,000.

How did the 28-year-old make more than a $30,000 leap within the same company?

She played her cards flawlessly when the money conversation surfaced during the interview process. "Negotiation is nerve-racking, especially because you don't do it every day, or even weekly or monthly," she tells Business Insider. "But a five-minute conversation can be an extra $5,000 or $10,000 in your pocket."

We asked Telles for her top tips when it comes to negotiating the compensation you deserve.

SEE ALSO: 7 mistakes too many women make when it's time to negotiate their salary

1. Do your research

Most of the work should happen before you head into the interview, Telles emphasizes.

Start by looking at the salary range for someone with your level of experience and skills and in your industry or company. She used Glassdoor and Payscale to find out that the range for her position maxed out at $75,000, the amount she would eventually ask for. Salary.com and Indeed.com also offer free compensation and benefits information.

This will help you understand what you're worth and keep you from asking for too little or far too much. While you don't want to request too low a salary and leave money on the table, you also don't want to name a number that is well above what the employer had in mind and risk knocking yourself out of the running.

2. Emphasize what the company gains by hiring you

If you've done your homework on the company and the role they're looking to fill, proving your value to the employer should be easy to execute.

While Telles, who has been at the same hospital for three years, didn't need to research the actual company, she got a firm grasp on the job description and expectations of the new position she was applying for. "I was really able to showcase that I knew what was going on and could do the job effectively," she explains. "I told them that for the type of work that needs to get done — and will get done — this is the type of salary that would be appropriate."

If you come prepared to highlight your skills, experience, qualifications, and accomplishments, you can justify what you're asking for.

3. Practice, practice, practice

As personal-finance expert Ramit Sethi says of salary negotiation, "Eighty percent of the work happens before you even enter the room."

In addition to looking up salary ranges, studying the company, and preparing your facts and figures, you want to do mock interviews — over and over and over again. This could mean having a friend or family member ask you probable interview questions or it could mean practicing in front of the mirror.

"I recorded myself to see how my body language was and how my voice sounded," Telles explains. "I practiced not looking up or to the side. I practiced not having 'flying hands.' I made sure I looked confident, that my back was straight, and my posture strong."

As Ivanka Trump, CEO of Ivanka Trump Collection, writes on Motto, "The way in which you carry yourself, even when seated at a desk, matters. Regardless of how fast your heart may be beating, sit upright, make eye contact, and focus on breathing evenly."

Practice and preparation minimizes the risk of fumbling through the conversation when the big day comes. "By the time of the interview, I'd done 50 or so practice rounds and it just came out effortlessly," Telles says.

The kitchen's hot. The kind of heat that sticks on your neck and fills the whole house, holding the air conditioner hostage. You want to make food, though. And we understand. That's what we want, too. Thankfully, with genius recipes like these, no-cook never looked better.

Finding a great job that comes with a significant salary boost is one of the top reasons to move to a new city.

In its recently released ranking of the best places to live in America, U.S. News & World Report gathered data on the 100 most populous US cities. Among the factors it considered were affordable housing, a low cost of living, good schools, quality healthcare, and access to well-paying jobs. You can read U.S. News' full methodology here.

Business Insider reranked these cities based on median annual salary to find the 20 where residents earn the most. They don't all rank highly on U.S. News' overall list, given higher costs of living and other factors, so we've included each city's overall ranking for comparison's sake. For instance, Chicago ranks at No. 20 in terms of salary, but it came in only at No. 90 on the list of 100.

Of the 100 best places to live in the US, here are 20 where you can land the highest-paying jobs:

DON'T MISS: REAL-ESTATE WARS: Inside the class and culture fight that's tearing San Francisco apart

20. Santa Rosa, California

Population: 491,790

Median annual salary: $49,800

Overall rank on best places to live list: 62

Just 55 miles north of San Francisco sits Santa Rosa, one of Sonoma County's premier wine-country towns. According to US News' local expert, Santa Rosa is an originator of the farm-to-table movement and "a haven for bicyclists, who train on its rural western roads and visit en masse for two major cycling events: the Amgen Tour of California and the Levi's GranFondo."

The job market in Santa Rosa is powered by tourism: 9% of residents work in the industry, mainly at local farms, wineries, and brewpubs.

19. Chicago, Illinois

Population: 9,516,448

Median annual salary: $50,410

Overall rank on best places to live list: 90

The Midwest's largest city may have a couple of drawbacks, including frigid winters and a high cost of living, but Chicago is also host to a bevy of corporations — 31 in the Fortune 500 — that can set residents up with a high-paying salary, including Boeing, United Airlines, Kraft, and Allstate.

Chicago also has a dynamic restaurant scene — far more than just the deep-dish pizza the city is famous for — as well as world-class museums, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Lollapalooza music festival.  

18. Portland, Oregon

Population: 2,288,796

Median annual salary: $50,710

Overall rank on best places to live list:20

Portland isn't for everybody — its slogan is "Keep Portland Weird," after all. But one local expert asserts that it's a "well-rounded city with more than just the offbeat shops and events" and a population that has "more academic degrees than the national average." An annual job-growth rate of 2.9% per year is attributed to roots in the technology sector, including major employer Intel Corp., as well as the 6,000-employee headquarters for Nike, about 7 miles outside Portland.

These athletes have escaped wars, survived treacherous ocean crossings, and rebuilt their lives on new shores. Winning an Olympic gold medal should be a piece of cake.

Ten exceptional athletes who have left their war-torn countries as refugees will compete as part of the first Refugee Olympic Team (ROT) in the 2016 Rio Olympics. They will represent the Olympic flag in uniforms provided by the International Olympic Committee and reside in the Olympic Village along with the other teams.

"This will be a symbol of hope for all the refugees in our world, and will make the world better aware of the magnitude of this crisis," said IOC President Thomas Bach in a statement. "It is also a signal to the international community that refugees are our fellow human beings and are an enrichment to society. These refugee athletes will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies that they have faced, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skills and strength of the human spirit.”

Popole Misenga is a judo athlete from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Misenga's mother was murdered when he was only six years old. The Congolese government used judo to provide a sense of structure for orphaned youth, where Misenga excelled, winning a bronze medal at the under-20 African Judo Championship in 2010. But training conditions were brutal - Misenga told Rio2016.com that losing competitors were locked up and beaten. 

Yolande Bukasa Mabika, a fellow judo athlete, also left the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Mabika escaped from the team hotel at the 2013 World Judo Championships to a Congolese community in northern Rio and urged Misenga to join her.

Mabika and Misenga were both granted political asylum in Brazil. They now train with Geraldo Bernardes, a four-time Olympic coach.

“They have evolved a lot,” Bernardes told USA TODAY. “They are very serious and disciplined, because in their mind the only way is to win. We can show them what is best, what they need to change or do to get to the medals.”

Most of us spend our summer days out in the sun, and so we often end up dehydrated — without even realizing it.

We're constantly sweating and running around, and rarely stop to consider whether we had enough water that day, registered dietitian Amy Shapiro of Real Nutrition NYC told INSIDER.

"It's pretty common if you're not drinking enough fluids to become dehydrated in the summer because it's so hot, your body loses water," Shapiro said. "We're often so busy, we're not really thinking about drinking, and by the time we drink we're already dehydrated." 

Dehydration can lead to severe health complications, including heatstroke, brain swelling, seizures and in extreme cases, even kidney failure and death.

The dietitian shared the three major signs of dehydration you need to look out for.

1. You have very concentrated and yellow urine.

One of the most common signs of dehydration is having pee that is darker than usual, according to Shapiro.

"You want your pee to be the color of lemonade, instead of dark yellow or even brown," the dietitian said.

The more water you have in your system, the lighter your urine will be. And so, if you're dehydrated, you don't have enough water to dilute whatever waste your body is eliminating.

But it's far more common to have darker yellow urine when dehydrated than brown, Shapiro added.

"Brown is more severe, when you're dehydrated in the dessert," she explained.

2. You've got a killer headache.

People suffer from headaches for a myriad of reasons.

And when you aren't drinking enough water, that can also cause your head to throb.

That's because your body uses water for energy. Therefore, not getting enough water can leave you feeling weak or tired.

"When you don't have enough, your body is working really hard to keep itself going. So you get a headache because your body is depleted," Shapiro said.

3. You're feeling extremely hungry.

Most of us equate feelings of hunger with the desire for food, but according to Shapiro, it can also be an indicator of dehydration.

"Sometimes we feel hungry when we're thirsty because our stomachs are empty, and we're mistaking that sensation for actually being hungry," Shapiro said.

If it's been four hours since you've eaten anything, that's a good sign that you're actually hungry.

Otherwise, the dietitian recommends drinking a glass of water before rushing to grab some food.

"If you don't feel hungry after, then you're probably just dehydrated," she said.

If you save money by accident, does it still count?

I was at a meet-up the other day for entrepreneurs, and upon plopping down my laptop and plugging my mouse into it, I immediately felt a pat on my back and hearty chuckle.

“Dude – what is this, 1998?” – a friend blurted out.

“Hah, I know – it’s weird using a mouse w/ my laptop huh?” – I shyly shot back

“Nah man, I’m talking about how OLD your mouse is. Is that a ball at the bottom of that thing???”

<insert even louder laugh>

“What, are you on AOL dial-up too????”

<others start coming over to join in on the fun>

I’ll admit it was all pretty funny (and don’t you dare tell me you don’t know what I’m talking about with those ball mouses – you youngins!), but it had never crossed my mind just how strange this is in a world where everything’s so brand spanking new all the time. And since it’s been well over five years since I last worked in any real office, I guess I just got used to it all as “normal.”

But while everyone assumed I was just way too cheap (or broke) to go out and get a new mouse, the truth is I’m just way too busy to be bothered by it. And the thing works just fine anyways, so why go out and waste both time and money? Even if I have to take it out every now and then to blow on it and get rid of those dang dirt lines around the wheel thingies, haha … I didn’t even get a chance to explain why I use a mouse in the first place – the track pad on my laptop broke four years ago.

I started wondering if there was other things I do that accidentally save me money in the process, and here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

SEE ALSO: I spent 12 months trying to cut costs everywhere in my life — here's how much I saved

I haven’t bought clothes in like a year.

I used to be obsessed with new tees every couple of weeks, but over the years both time and desire have drastically reduced since I got into the whole minimalism craze. While it still sucks to have my clothes wear out and get holey all the time, I have to admit it’s nice having a small wardrobe of only stuff you LOVE to wear every time you get dressed.

I cut my own hair.

Most people do this purely to save money, but for me its more out of the annoyance of not wanting to take an hour out of my day to sit and watch someone do what I can do at home in five minutes. Now granted the requirements of my hair style is fairly simple – shave both sides and leave the part in the middle! – but I do have to say I’ve gotten pretty good using mirrors to keep the ‘hawk’s lines fresh ;) It works on facial hair too!

I still eat peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for lunch.

Not only do I still enjoy the taste after all these years, but it’s so nice to be able to make your lunch 1-2-3 without waiting for anyone or getting into the car. I’d eat them even if they cost $5 a sandwich! (And I have two almost every day!)

There are so many actions throughout your day that go unremembered — pulling off a few sheets of toilet paper, sending a quick email to a colleague, picking up toiletries at the drugstore.

But these small, seemingly insignificant behaviors can provide meaningful insights into your emotions, your personality traits, and the way you approach life in general.

We dug up psychological research and expert opinion on what different daily habits might reveal about you.

Note that none of this information is definitive, and that these general findings might not apply to you specifically. Rather, they can provide starting points for learning more about your own and others' motivations.

SEE ALSO: 13 small things you do that people use to judge your personality

Your shopping habits may reveal your preference for detail

A visit to the drugstore could tell you a whole lot about the person you're with.

Do they scrutinize the ingredients on each tube of toothpaste until they find one that suits their needs? Or do they choose one quickly and assume they know exactly how it works?

That first type of consumer is what scientists call an "explanation fiend"; the second is an "explanation foe."

A series of experiments published in 2012 found that explanation fiends score high on measures of cognitive reflection, meaning they analyze information to death and prefer lots of detail about products. Explanation foes, on the other hand, score low on measures of cognitive reflection, meaning they don't do well with so many details and prefer more general information.

The way you hang toilet paper may reveal how assertive you are

Relationship expert Gilda Carle surveyed 2,000 men and women about the way they hang their toilet paper. She also asked them to fill out surveys about how assertive they were in their relationships.

As Carle told The Independent, results showed that those who roll the toilet paper over tend to be more dominant, while those who roll it under tend to be more submissive.

Interestingly, some people reported that they change the direction of the roll no matter where they are — and those people were more likely to have dominant personalities.

Your eating habits may reveal how you approach life

The Huffington Post spoke to experts on food-related behaviors and learned that our eating habits can say a lot about our personalities.

Specifically, slow eaters generally like to be in control and know how to appreciate life. Fast eaters tend to be ambitious, goal-oriented, open to new experiences, and often impatient.

Adventurous eaters probably like to step out of their comfort zones, while picky eaters are likely neurotic in different areas of their lives.

Finally, those who separate different foods on their plate are inclined to be detail-oriented and disciplined.

Ambergris Caye, Belize, has been named the leading destination in Central America by the World Travel Awards for two years running.

Belize's largest island, which is also often considered Belize's crown jewel, is easily accessible from the mainland and holds countless opportunities for adventure, from diving at the Great Blue Hole to checking out a place called Shark-Ray Alley.

Here's why this Caribbean island beat out other travel hotspots such as San Jose, Costa Rica, and Tulum, Mexico.

Ambergris Caye is Belize’s largest island, measuring about 25 miles in length. What that means for you is tons of white sandy beaches.

The vibrant island paradise is located in the Caribbean Sea, just off the coast of Belize.

The island is known as "La Isla Bonita," as many believe that Madonna’s 1986 song by the same name was inspired by it. Whether it actually was or not, it certainly lives up to the title.

On Thursday, America's insanely competitive Ivy League schools will announce their admissions decisions.

America's Ivy League schools — Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale — have some of the most competitive admissions standards in America. In fact, Harvard is America's hardest college to get into, according to rankings from academic-review site Niche.com.

The rankings are based on acceptance rates and SAT and ACT scores reported to the US Department of Education. College acceptance rates received a weighted average of 60% in the ranking computation, and SAT/ACT scores received a weighted average of 40%.

Business Insider used Niche's state filter to find out which college is the hardest to get into in each of America's 50 states and the District of Columbia. Niche reports that a few states (Alaska, Delaware, Nevada, and Wyoming) are missing from the ranking because they don't have data for enough colleges.

Scroll through to find out the most selective college in each state, and to learn about non-Ivy League schools that are also relatively competitive. 

Note: Niche used the most recent data available to calculate its rankings, usually from 2012-2013 or 2013-2014.

Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones" and "A Song of Ice and Fire."

Still shocked that Cersei blew up the Sept of Baelor? Or that she subjected Septa Unella — a nun, albeit a cruel one — to rape and torture? Well, we've only just begun to see the Mad Queen side of Cersei, who has been a much more sympathetic character in the TV show than she is in the books. That's due to a mix of Lena Headey's performance and the show's emphasis on Cersei's love for her children. "It's your one redeeming quality,"Tyrion once told her. "That, and your cheekbones." Now that's she's newly childless, will we see her act more like book Cersei? If so, watch out, Westeros. Here's a primer on what canonical Cersei is capable of.

She kills her best friend.

You might be surprised at this one — when did Cersei ever have friends? We got a glimpse of this during a season-five flashback to when she was a girl. Her companion and bedmaid Melara Hetherspoon accompanied Cersei to visit the woods witch, and Melara got a prophecy of her own after she dared to ask, "Will I marry Jaime?" The witch responded, "Worms will have your maidenhead. Your death is here tonight, little one. Can you smell her breath? She is very close." Cersei wasn't thrilled that Melara dared to dream of marrying her twin, later calling her a "greedy little schemer with ideas above her station." Cersei thinks of this as a betrayal, and it's implied that she pushed Melara into a well, where she drowned. (In Cersei's memory Melara "fell," but that sounds like her cover story, considering she also remembers "accusing eyes.") Did Cersei kill Melara because the poor girl had a crush on Jaime, or because she thought, as Melara insisted, that if they never spoke of the prophecies, they would never come true? Whatever her reasoning, Melara died, and Cersei avoided having friends for years.

She kills the previous High Septon.

Before the High Sparrow comes to prominence, he has a predecessor in the High Septon. On the TV show, he's accosted by the Sparrows, and forced to do a walk of shame. In the books, Cersei takes him out by sending Osney Kettleblack to murder him. Why would Cersei kill a religious leader? Because she believed him to be Tyrion's man, and the crown's debt was owed in part to the Faith. It's for this murder that she's first arrested, after Osney confesses (following a round of torture): "He never had no guards. I just come in when he was sleeping and pushed a pillow down across his face." The charge of conspiring to kill King Robert was added afterward, along with adultery, fornication, and treason.

She schemes to kill Jon Snow.

When the Night's Watch gives shelter to Stannis and his men, Cersei plots with the Small Council to finally send men to Castle Black, ostensibly to take the black, but in reality to remove Jon Snow as Lord Commander via assassination. "His Grace should send the Wall a hundred men," Qyburn suggests. Perhaps [Jon] will even thank me, before the blade slides between his ribs, Cersei thinks.

Apple's computers aren't known as video game machines, but there are some fantastic games you can play on your Mac right now.

"BioShock"

"BioShock" is one of the most critically acclaimed first-person shooters in the past 10 years, and for good reason.

It plays like a typical first-person action game, but at its heart there are weighty philosophical questions about the roles of science and religion in society, all of which takes place within a beautifully designed underwater retro-futurist dystopia.

And, for what it's worth, Tech Insider's own Dave Smith thinks it has one of the best opening sequences of any video game ever. (It is, indeed, pretty great.)

"Diablo 3"

"Diablo" is one of the most iconic computer game franchises of all time, famous for its addictive blend of action and loot-gathering gameplay.

"Diablo 3" is the latest in the series, and it recently got a big expansion called "Reaper of Souls"— right now, you can get the "Ultimate Evil Edition" of the game, which includes the expansion, for $40. If you're not willing to commit to that, you can get the Starter Edition for free.

"Portal"

"Portal" and "Portal 2" are two of the most smartly-crafted puzzle games ever made.

Both look like a first-person shooter, but rather than shoot bullets you place portals on the walls, ceilings, and floors that let you do some seriously weird things that bend the laws of physics. Rather than killing bad guys, you're solving puzzles. 

The sterile, laboratory-like setting is contrasted sharply against the game's witty sense of humor, embodied best by GlaDOS, the hilariously wicked artificial intelligence that forces you through the game's various puzzles.
