    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.....

    Men's Fashion

    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...

    Path of Exile

    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...

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    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.

    Well that makes perfect sense, since the picture I linked from Zoolander is the guy who plays Erik Northman on True Blood, I had no idea until just now.

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    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...

    38 Studios

    Well I figured that there were other nuances that might make it tedious (obviously switching engines would be a major one), I was just pointing out that in software, in general, you strive for that kind of re-usable code and programming languages are typically created with that in mind and give...

    Not to nitpick here but... you absolutely can do this. It's one of the fundamental principles of Object-Oriented, platform independent programming languages. I'm not going to pretend I know a ton about what programming languages game designers use but you are dead wrong about most things in...

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    The show is really.... really bad. Not sure why Netflix even green lit this. The story has a lot of promise, but the dialogue and acting are absolutely awful. Some of the worst I've ever seen. The one saving grave is the music in the show is really good.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The funny thing is you don't actually NEED a LFD tool at release. With the amount of players still levelling and the release rush it's easy enough to get a group by using standard chat channels. I wouldn't care if a game released without a LFD tool as long as it was planned for the first...

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    The funny thing is, this game is actually far more enjoyable a second time through because you know exactly how the combat system works and how to get around all the stupidity of the AI (for the most part) and pet collision (back out with Oliver's familiar and let the other two attack first, or...

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    Despite my earlier complaints I did end up finishing the game and ended up enjoying the rest of it once I learned I could skip all the cut scenes and just go back at the end of the game and watch them in the casino (seriously the amount of cut scenes and dialogue coupled with the "This is...

    You're completely out of touch with what goes on in any team environment. You think they don't need 2nd and 3rd stringers who can perform drills to help the starters in practice? You think that just because someone can't perform a task at as high a level as the guy who is starting he can't add...
