    Boardwalk Empire

    He's got a point though. It's painful to watch a show you love devolve into complete crap. I think he's being generous with how long it takes. Weeds took 2.5 seasons. Californication took 2.5 seasons (the end of season 1 til halfway through season two were absolute shit. It got better in...

    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    Well if it was as simple as returning a call or email it wouldn't be a problem. There are times where I literally spend a full 8 hours fixing things that someone who was trying to help me broke. It's not that big a deal. I don't typically take week long vacations. Usually just long weekends here...

    I've used Match, OKC and POF. I can basically echo most of what Wombat said. The exception being that on Match, because people are paying for it, they tend to fall into the trap of "I will find the PERFECT person". I met a lot of very insincere people on Match who were trying to front...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    You guys crack me up. So statistically I have the same chance, living in CT, of dying in a Tornado, as someone who lives in the Midwest? I guess you guys think demographics are useless? When you post a blanket statement saying "Everyone in the United States has the same chance of dying to...

    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    "You don't want what you've never had". Water coolers and free coffee are things that if you've never had you don't really care about it, because you don't even think about it as you said. Once you've been at a company that offers it, and move to a company that does not, it becomes a supreme...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    When people make retarded posts with uninformed bullshit statistical analysis like this: Because everyone in the US is at the same risk to meet their demise via the listed possibilities. You know why I'm not 87 times more likely to die from drowning? Because I know how to fucking swim. You...

    [Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

    So if I've seen all 16 seasons of the anime and wanted to start reading the manga, where would I start? Does the anime follow the manga closely? Should I just read it from the start or can I pick it up from where the anime left off?

    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    Says you. I compare this to heated seats in a car. You never need them until you have them. And then you never want to go without it again. Not having water coolers or free coffee is supremely annoying. You'd be surprised how far 2 little things like that go for most people.

    Coming to almost no one's home in 2013 - Killer Instinct

    Well it's a Rare IP correct? And Microsoft owns Rare. Not much of a surprise it's exclusive to the XBone. Even if Rare isn't making it (Where's the source for that again?)

    What do you do?

    If you honestly make a combined 300k and feel poor you're living beyond your means, even in a city like Boston. There is no reason you shouldn't feel very comfortable at that salary range.

    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    I think you misunderstand. I get 8.... 8 weeks of vacation. It's almost like being a teacher, except my job doesn't suck. That's way more vacation than I could ever realistically take anyway. When you include holidays it's close to getting a week off a month. It's not as if I only get 3 weeks...

    I've never personally done it, but apparently East Asian tailors are the best in the world and are incredibly inexpensive for the quality of garment you get. They often do tours and NYC is a frequent stop. I have no idea where to begin to find them but perhaps someone else here does.

    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    They don't deny me the vacation time. They just call me all day long with issues while I'm on said vacation. If I turn off my phone and e-mail they won't discipline me, I'll just have a metric ton of shit to deal with when I come back. Mostly because of issues with other downstream processes...

    Or you can find a custom clothier and get something like an Adrian Jules MTM soup to nuts which should cost you well under $2k and probably be nicer than anything you get at Nordstrom. I regret going with Southwick for my MTM over the Adrian Jules. It came in last week and while the pants fit...

    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    Some companies also dangle a lot of great benefits that are completely unusable in front of you. I get 8 weeks of vacation a year at my company. But I am a software developer working with a niche product (Microsoft BizTalk) and am the only developer that knows the technology here. I will NEVER...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    D2 wasn't as tedious. And they had HUGE amount of mob dense areas. D3 had like.... 4. And most of them were inaccessible to laymen who didn't "exploit" the early act 2 chests. The biggest problem was you didn't have the cool AE builds that are so fun in games like these and you didn't have huge...

    New Fable Remake?

    Did you play B&W when it was first released? The game didn't work. There is a difference between not delivering on hype (how good a game is claimed to be) and not delivering on features (what you told people was actually in the game). B&W 3 (or was it 6?) was really good though.

    To be fair, it's the only Lionhead game that was over-hyped and under-delivered. Black and White was amazing.....

    After reading this thread and others on various other forums I decided to take the plunge and buy an MTM suit. I did some research on canvas vs fused, waist suppression, single vs double breasted, 2 vs 3 button, etc etc etc (mostly just personal preference choices). So after figuring out what...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Do you know why FF8 is my favorite FF game? Hate all you want I don't care. The game was good, and the card game was awesome. The story is underrated. But the reason that was my favorite FF game is because I used to play it while blasting one of the most underrated... awesome albums ever...

    Ferragamo seems to suffer from the "Buy my name, not my quality" syndrome. Don't get me wrong, the shoes look great but... ~900 USD for a wingtip? ~300 USD for a polo shirt? Gimme a break. The Magnanni stuff seems a lot more reasonable. I almost threw up when I saw the prices on the John Lobb...

    The most amazing monologues ever

    Youtube videos are blocked at work so I can't tell if this was posted or not, but here it is anyway. Les Grossman's rant to the Flaming Dragon from Tropic Thunder: Okay Flaming Dragon, fuckface. First, take a big step back... and literally fuck your own face! I don't know what kind of...

    How I Met Your Mother

    It's not his fault the show is terrible and Barney is the only character that doesn't make you want to strangle someone. I stopped watching long ago. If I knew that Draegan's ending was going to be THE ending I'd start watching again.

    As someone who has lived a low carb lifestyle on and off for 6 years, and lost ~100 lbs when I made the leap I can appreciate Lustig's book quite a bit. I agree with mostly everything he's saying. However, after reading the first chapter and remembering the last phyical I went in for...

    Where do you guys buy shoes? I'm a big fan of Johnston and Murphy and just bought a couple new pairs last night but I'm wondering if there are other shoemakers with similar quality but a lower price point. I'm redefining my wardrobe right now and have been spending probably more money than I...

    Daft Punk

    This album had me bored to tears. I accidentally listened to Contact first because the playlist order was in reverse, and the rest of the album pales in comparison to that song for me. I thought Get Lucky was a really boring song at first too but it grew on me so maybe the rest of the album...

    So I think I'm ready to start playing this game again. Had to take time off from gaming as I had recently started a new job and had to concentrate on that. I've settled in now and have some free time. I have to be honest, I don't have much left from when I played previously so I'm looking for a...

    It was pretty apparent they were planning on coming back for a second season. At any rate they did a terrible job of making me interested enough to check out a second season.

    Didn't they spend 100 mil on House of Cards? So they spent less than half on Hemlock and it shows.

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    I wouldn't be surprised if they purposely got bad actors because they were cheap. Maybe they spent more than they could recoup on House of Cards and used it just to garner some extra subscriptions for the rest of the subpar shows. Let's face it, Arrested Development doesn't have many big...
