My vote: tipping should not be mandatory. The minimum wage should be a living wage. Waiters/waitresses should not be lower than the minimum wage.

I live in California, so servers are always paid the minimum wage, and when I eat in Santa Monica I know they are getting a living wage. Never the less I always tip 15%, no questions asked. If I made more money, I'd tip 20%, regardless of the level of service. LA is kind of a sucky place to live if your a god damned waiter at Denny's, I don't want to make it any shittier.

Yahtzee likes shitty games.


More that Yahtzee likes single player (focused) games with uncommon (in current gen games) premises/mechanics, e.g. prince of persia sands of time. Too bad he doesn't like JRPG's, because that's the focus of the genre.

It's funny how he's freaking out until he hears and comprehends his father's scream of excitement. It's almost like a relay flips over in his brain, reasoning that if his father is having fun, he'll be safe and should be having fun too; he then relaxes and enjoys the ride. Makes me wonder that if that hadn't taken place, would he have had a different reaction to coasters in the future.


That isn't what I saw. Do you have children? He's scared of heights but loves speed, plain and simple. My daughter is the same way.

As someone who doesn't make a habit of visiting guitar shops (bought some drum sticks for Rock Band, once, which I'm off to play right now), or listening to live music at all, that was a neat bit of trivia/nostalgia.

Bah. Couldn't resist watching it, despite wanting to know as little about it as possible...
I'm not sure I approve of the extreme use of CGI, but I do like the look of the movie.


you'd rather have rubber suits?

I find I can no longer expect to watch Billo without, at some point in the clip, throwing up a little in my mouth. Such hypocrisy is utterly amazing.


So why do you watch?

Oh, and give it a terrible tag and I'd upvote.

Wow, and up till now Rent was the silliest thing I'd ever seen. So, I can safely skip Evita, Phantom of the Opera, etc?

I almost got into the guy's performance, but that weird Mikey Mouse falsetto at the 3 minute mark made me lol.

Love this game, second best final fantasy game (after 6). How does it rate overall? I don't know, so hard to compare to half life, or braid.

So weird that after two weeks of unemployment I've sifted far less than when I was gainfully employed.

>> ^curiousity:
Fantastic talk. Thank you very much for this sift.


Ditto.

Thank you SO much for the Alain de Botton (huh-huhuhu) TED talk.

Regular season comes around, I don't want to hear any bitching about roughing the kicker.
