My apologies, I don't mean to offend. Do you mind me asking why you don't like the term consumer? Don't get me wrong, I prefer the term "guest" whenever possible and the term "customer" or "client" more generally, but when I'm trying to speak in proper, neutral terms (like here). I usually...

I don't tip period and i don't eat outside,never have never will. This whole tradition is silly.If your job is not earning you enough money then don't do it,find something else instead of relying on charity.(cause that's what tipping is)

Hmm, this is a touch question. Yes and no. Am I always entitled to a tip? Yes. I have to contribute 5% or more of my total sales to the house so that support staff, kitchen staff and bartenders (although to be fair, this is often me) can receive what their due for their contribution the guest's...

...[blinks] Wow, I've been in R&P a long time, I forgot it was so bright out here. Anyways, right into it then. I'm a bartender. And a server. And generally a service employee. I have been for a very long time. My whole family is or has worked in hospitality, in most cases for a very long...

Hmm, in Pokemon Yellow years ago I trapped myself in a cave somehow. I can't actually remember which one, maybe the one with Articuno in it. No Dig, no escape rope, and I had pushed the blocks around in a way that made escape impossible. 100 hours maybe? Gone. Devestating for a, shit how old was...

Speaking as someone who works at the third busiest multiplex in North America, I'm not so sure. We prepared for the Avengers sure, we were expecting to get hit hard, but we've been preparing for the Dark Knight Rises since the Dark Knight came out. I started working there 14 months ago and...

I'm not sure they're "trying to force a piece of media so much". They're just asking the developer to be more respectful of their beliefs because they may not necessarily understand them. This isn't even a case of the normal loud-mouth militant religious nut tries to get congress to censor...

Quite simply, it doesn't. It's just that it's getting the wrong kind of critisism and people are badly over reacting. You can say "I didn't like that ending." Hell, you're probably well within your rights to call it a bad ending if you have good reason (I wouldn't know, I haven't played it). I...

Why? Why do you have a problem with them defending Bioware making a choice as a group of artists to realize their artistic vision? I'm sorry, but that's idiotic. You're attacking the idea of art because....it's art and therefore you think it's pretentious? Pro tip buddy, in a work of art every...

And this makes you a better person. The problem is that not very many people really give a shit. I can't remember who's column it was here, but they weer pointing out how small the number of people who actually care is. They basically said "Okay. Take the population. Now take the people who have...

I understand that the development of the console and it's operating standards are entirely within the hands of the corporation that develops it, but this seems anti-competative. A corperation can't just say "Your legitimate buisness is cutting into my legitimate buisness's potential profit so...

Okay, someone correct me if I'm wrong but something like that couldn't possibly be legal could it? Wouldn't it voilate some kind of anti-trust laws or some such? I mean by doing something like that you're literally saying "Okay, this system of buisness is no longer valid in our eyes and we're...

I think he over did it. Discipline is one thing and hell, if he bought her the laptop I think he was fine in putting some bullets in it and breaking it just to send a message. What concerns me is that his parenting is over-zealous and refuses to acknowledge his daughter's emotional state. He...

Yeah this is....well, this. This guy doesn't deserve friends. Or he should have a flag stapled to his butt and mailed to Iran, we'll see how he likes racism then. Or you should have punched him out. I would have. Where do you live mate?

I saw a couple theads about video game stories floating around I saw some dramatically different opinions about what makes a good/bad story. Some say that the narrative should be about the protagonist, some about the world they inhabit, some about the characters that surround them and some about...
