That's right, baby - people WEEP for these burgers.

They're good but they're not that good, damn.

We got a Five Guys in town recently. They have all these signs plastered over the walls with their glowing reviews from various publications around the country. And then you get the food and it's like a nothing special burger and horrible fries at a ridiculously expensive price.

Go go hype machine.

Having just gotten back from a Five Guys dinner two minutes ago, I can comfortably say that whoever runs your local establishment is doing it wrong. Their burgers are fantastic.

Honestly, given that it's texas, one assumes opening a burger chain (even a classy one) there is akin to taco bells in New Mexico.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #255 on:** May 14, 2011, 06:23:48 AM »

Ditto to what Shale said to a certain degree. Five Guys burgers are pretty good. The fries are good, but not great.

superaielman · « **Reply #256 on:** May 14, 2011, 02:33:56 PM »

Five Guys is okay but grossly overpriced and too greasy. I'll have to second the Cap on that one.

Evan Longoria is apparently an action hero.

I clicked the link thinking it was Eva Longoria.

Also, that looked incredibly fake.

Fuck you, Stephen Harper!

Man, this is reminding me of that creepy message I got from some guy in India over Facebook recently. (He was talking about my eyes or some BS--makes me want to switch my profile picture back to a Touhou character). Or, GameFAQs, where people barely knew I existed when I was "just" a game developer, but I got mildly stalkerish behavior when rumor spread about my gender. Really, I have plenty of good reasons for not openly displaying my name.

Also:
Stephen Harper: you're not as cool as Blizzard; stop copying them.

The law about linking is also similarly brilliant.

Ughhhhhh you had to remind me of this. What'd I do to you recently, met?<G> Aside from the asinine fan bitching, it happened right before I started at CPM, so I actually had to respond to many questions of "Are you gonna be doing this?", "Is this gonna be standard practice?", and my personal favorite, "What the fuck is wrong with you people?" as if we had any control over what ADV did.

The guy with the Yugioh duel disks is pretty hilarious (assuming that it was a joke). Picture 81's inclusion is just the picture chooser being an asshole I'd assume.

So...someone comissions art for their pen and paper RPG, and decides to get something that isn't a white male or sexualized female on the cover. The number of iterations necessary to get there is kinda scary, but I rather like the end result.
