I suppose the issue is that, unlike in GTA games where scaling the speed of the vehicles to real life possibilities would result in you crashing into every car and building in the city, and quick travel makes sense in the context of taxis, car services, and public transit, playing a game that takes place in 1899 where…

To add to your point, WoW: BFA, where Blizzard decided to make the mob density way too high, so now it’s almost impossible to go somewhere overland (flying is not yet in-game) without pulling aggro from a bunch of mobs that you have no reason to be fighting once you’re level 120 and are in raiding gear.

Son of a bitch.

Even though I hate that Twitch automatically loads, it was much more efficient for downloading and uploading my various WoW addons than either the previous, standalone Curse client (which was a slow, buggy, unoptimized mess), or the Curse website itself.

Even though I know it’s a forlorn hope (and I’m…

I agree when it comes to marketing. I don’t see much, and what I see isn’t particularly interesting even if I like the cars. The design language on the cars, save for the Q60 coupe, is a hodgepodge, and they don’t distinctly look “Infiniti” (say what you will about the spindle, which I actually like on some models,…

They might dip their toes in the waters of Mexico City, but heaven forbid they decided to drink it.

I heard about states like Pennyslvania, but that shit would drive me crazy.

Hell, I was upset when I got to college down here in Florida and found out a few years back, state law changed so that you could no longer purchase, at retail, grain alcohol (such as Everclear 195 proof). You could still get the 151 proof, but…

Good lord that sounds like torture. Hell, it’s bad enough that in a place like Atlanta (Fulton County), they still have laws on the books that prevent the sale of liquor before 12:30pm on Sundays, and bars have to close early on Sundays, except on certain days with a county-wide permit (such as during Atlanta Pride…

Not to mention that Bradley Cooper has a very generic (but admittedly handsome) white guy look, and Gaga has been an aesthetic chameleon, whereas Will and J.Lo have maintained their looks for almost the entirety of their careers (which is why people say that when they act, they’re simply playing themselves at this…

It does happen, but because it’s easier to consume media nowadays, we’re often aware of a performer without actually being cognizant of who they are.

For example, Jennifer Lawrence seemed to have popped on the scene with two big roles in tentpole franchises (X-Men and The Hunger Games), but apparently she had been…

He really hasn’t been in much since Seven Pounds.

There was After Earth, Focus, Concussion, the one movie about the letters, and Suicide Squad.

Focus was decent, but wasn’t designed to be a blockbuster. After Earth was a vehicle for Jaden (Will was barely in it), Concussion and the letter movie were Oscar Bait, and…

Yes, but you won an actual prize.

Unless the article was written poorly, the “prize” they get is a damn raffle ticket. The raffle ticket then allows them to get a prize.

At that point, you might as well offer up lottery tickets, because at least then you’re getting something with a resale value (i.e. I’m willing to pay…

I just reread that.

So they honestly have to work faster, for the possibility, of winning...raffle tickets? Not even a prize in itself, just the opportunity to win a raffle ticket that...gives you the opportunity to then win something?

Fuck, that’s cold blooded.

Honestly, I’m still of the mind that the song was already written well before the public breakup and she and her team realized that with the SNL drama that happened soon after, dropping the song was perfect.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I went to a fundraiser in the Spring this year. $100 for my ticket, and it was at a museum. Coincidentally, there were no ATMs at the museum, so I gladly walked a few blocks to the nearest ATM (we were in downtown Tampa, so it wasn’t all that bad) and grabbed some cash just so I could tip.

Not…

To your points.

1. This is important, and even though it doesn’t effect me (I tend to stand out in a crowd of suits; being tall helps), it’s very easy at a large event to become just another face. Also, frankly put, $20s are pretty common when it comes to people who want to tip “big”, so unless you’re dropping a Grant…

I’m with you.

On the occassions where I tip a decent amount at the beginning, it’s not to get VIP status (I’m more than willing to return and wait in line as much as necessary, so long as I get my drink), it’s simply because I don’t necessarily like reaching into my pocket every time to drop a tip.

Besides, a lot of the…

Some of the fundraisers I attend on an annual basis usually have tickets that start at $80, with an open bar. I know I drink pretty heavy (I’m a big guy), and also don’t want to keep track of every individual drink and tip, so I’ll tip nice in the beginning, and usually follow up at the end.

Also, I don’t do shots and…

Ehh.

I’m a big boozer, but it’s rather tacky to try to buy a bottle from the bartender at a catered event. Usually they aren’t the manager or the purchaser, so they’re putting their jobs at risk by even contemplating it. Plus, since a lot of these events aren’t necessarily checking ID, it could get the entire staff and…

I’ve never been to a wedding with a cash bar, but I have been to ones with an open bar for only the cocktail hour, even though the reception is much longer afterwards.

But I expect an open bar, if not for anything else than the fact I’m gay, most of my friends are gay, and we’re big enough boozers to where a weddings…

I agree.

The only time where a cash bar (or at least a non-open bar) would seem to be appropriate is at a very small reception, or one that’s being held in one of the immediate families’ homes. In that case, I can see a BYOB situation being appropriate.

The moment that you’ve rented out a space and catering staff, it’s…
