"That's pretty standard in restaurants for parties over 8. Pushing out food for a party of 45 is much more difficult than pushing out food for a party of four. It requires more attention from the cooking and the wait staff. Also, I'm not sure about Canada, but in the US waiters are actually taxed on the tips, so there is some expectation there. Have you ever worked in a restaurant Volo?" \ Not only that, but I *am* working at one. I know exactly how restuarants work. That doesn't mean I approve. 'Expecations' are the key. It's garbage. Plain, and simple. Knowing how something works doesn't mean you approve it or fin dit acceptable. Tipping should be just that tipping - A BONUS FOR GOOD WORK. NOTM ACTUAL SALARY. That's the restuarant owner's taking advantage of their employees and customers.

"Most of us (except perhaps some Americans with their weird obsession with Creationism)" Bigot criminal.

"Terrigno said 45 people ordered off the menu and their total bill came to $14,234.23, including $677.98 for GST. The restaurant usually adds an automatic 18 per cent gratuity for a large group, which would bring the total to $16,796.39." He's just as bad as they are. 'auto gratuity'. Lmfao

KOTOR2 had an ending. Whether you like it or not is absolutely irrelevant. Most games are completeablem and finishable at release. It's a very rare game that is such a mess that it can be considered in completeable.

"There's probably no such thing as a GOOD publisher" Nonsense. No publishers, no games. Any publishr thatr eleases a game I like is auto good. Now, are there any good internet posers... oops... posters? Nah. Gamers are the most selfish creatures in the known universe. They never see the big picture, and don't care about anyone about themselves.

Twilight: I expected this to be crap since that seems to be the consensus. Wrong. While it is definitely nothing original, it's an above average movie and the atcing/writing despite some sore spots is really underrated. The leads were fantastic despite the emoness though Edward's family were dissapointing. Push: Weird movie with a what is that the end? type finish... Inkheart: Alright movie; but it was a lot more serious in nature than I thought it be.

"Anyway, I probably not going to get anywhere with this, but I recommend you see it anyway." I plan to when it comes out on DVD. I don't go to theatres anymore. Like I said, I doubt Avatar outright sucks. I'm sure it's a good movie. I haven't been let down by James Cameron yet.

" course this all runs into the problem that Gromnir always points out with CRPG romances-- they're going to stink so long as the games are written with them as an optional side-quest. To create an interesting and possibly moving romance involving the PC, the writers are going to have to have the stones to make it a main feature of the game's central plot motivation. (E.g., You don't get to decide whether Guybrush likes Elaine or not; and, although this isn't quite the same thing, you didn't get to decide how past-TNO felt about Ravel or Deionarra.)" No, Grom is wrong. Just like his 'thieves suck' garbage. the last thing BIO games need is more forced things. If Grom wants forced romances then he should go play the Final Fantasies (which are fine in their own right but a whole different type game). BIO, last i checked, are still making western style RPGs (even some like ME have borrowed aspects from other genres). The reason why romances in BIO games work for me is becuase I can CHOOSE to take part in them or not. It makes the choices matter. Things mean more when they are chosen. This is true for good vs evil. Being good in a game that forces you to be good is NOT as satisfying as being good in a game where the option to be evil there. It's a lot more fun to be good in games like DA, FO, or MOTB than a game like FF, Super Mario, etc. *shrug*

"Preachy is exactly the opposite of what it actually is. The story and its basic morals are there, and you can take them or leave them." I've seen the commericals, and I've read the reviews. I read one review where the author gave it a ridiculous 10/10 and even ADMITS that it is a cliche. Hell, he even describes the scene where the two lovers meet and the nature lover girl admonishes the guy for being evil, insensitive, and all things nasty towards nasty. *yawn* That scene has been in literally HUNDREDS OF MOVIES. "Points for trying, but either go see it or quit your fallacious whining." What's the point of reviews if they don't tell you what the movie is about and to help you determine if it is worth seeing or not. "I'm waiting for something negative to be posted about this movie by somebody who has actually seen it." So... you only say negative things about movies you've actually seen? I don't believe you. I haven't seen Mask 2 yet nor do I need to know it's a trash movie that should have never been made. Now, I doubt Avatar is THAT bad. It's probably a good movie; but it very much comes across as cliche, trite, and preachy. And, those are from pro Avatar reviews.

"Atari is apparently doing something wrong. This is the second time this year they are getting sued over something to do with D&D." Fallacy. Being sued isn't proof of being guilty of doing soemthing wrong. Afterall, Bethesda is suing Interplay and so far they have been on the losing side. Interplay and BIO both sued each other with Interplay trying to destroy NWN and BIO with it. Seems Interplay failed there. Lots of people have been sued and have not been in the wrong. Nice try, though. Atari, btw, is the publisher of BIO's most successful game. They musta done something right. On top of this, being a good puyblisher (or good anything for that matter) doesn't make you perfect. Nobody - lest of all me - claimed Atari was a PERFECT publisher.

"Would you have felt more compelled to save Fereldan if doing so would mean that your loved one would remain safe?" Huh? This doesn't preclude either joinable or non joinable romances.

NWN2 OC = Good MOTB = Awesome SOZ = Sozzy

Ooooo.. a real life troll.. How droll... Anyways, movie looks lacklustre but probably will be a fun one to watch largely because James Cameron.. is KING OF THE WORLD. If anyone can make crap turn into sweet flowers it is him.

From all descriptions the story is as cliche, trite, and preachy as it can get mushed up by some lame love story. I get it. All advanced nations are evil incarnate, and all low tech people are pure innocents. *puke*

TW is not dark. The game is about b00bie cards. TW is just plainly trash. Only thing dark about it is how it is one of the most hyped, disspaointing games that gets wayu too much credit for 'originality' when it is one of the most unoriginal games I have ever seen. "I didn't finish the game, but as far as I'm concerned, the only thing really dark and realistic thing in Dragon Age is their portrayal of the Chantry, a monotheistic religion which doesn't hesitate to wage holy wars on people who doesn't believe in their deity (poor Dales...) and who uses contestable methods to keep their soldiers under check." Yeah, ebcause dwarves forcing their own people into a very painful process to change them into golems is all puppies and flowers. Or having one brother kill another while setting up the last and basically trahsing his ftaher's legacies YET make THAT brother a valid choice for putting on the throne to BETTER the lives of the dwarven kingdom.

DA is darker than BG2. This is a fact. Seriosuly. Brooodmother. The werewolves. Killing kids can be considered the 'right' thing to do. Magic where you literally have to cut yourself. Rape. The list goes on. BG2 is old news. It's got to the point where I'm sick of it. It's past its prime, and its dead. Vomapred to DA, BG2 is garbage. Plain, and simple. Also, I'd say NWN OC is just as adark as BG2. Sorry, it's true. The quest with the mother and missing children is evidence of this alone.

"you've been living under a rock and haven't watched a new movie in a theatre for the last six months or 'Downloading movies illegally', then I don't understand how anyone didn't know about this movie. " 1. I haven't been to a theatre in 5 years. 2. Knowing about a movie is not the same as it being super hyped. Sure, it was hyped; but comapred to others? Absolutely not. And, definitely not comapred to the three movies quoted.

'Twist' was lame, and retarded. It's a twist for the sake of a twist. The woman is still a piece of crap.

No illegal drugs were found in her home. She was seriously sick awhile back, and the dotors prescribed her a hevay dose of legal drugs. It's suspected the combination of her illness and the LEGAL PRESRIPTION DRUGS caused her heart attack. Either way, she will be missed. Hot babe, great and highly underrated actress whose been in some fantastic movies, and the scary thing she is about my age.

"but I don't remember it being mentioned in those, and even then, this movie had more hype than Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight and Star Trek combined" You kidding right? Yeah, you got to be kidding. This is simply blatantly false.

"The Ambassador from Logain is supposed to attack you but they don't activate" Nope. He didn't attack me. Just whined like a little baby when I was allowed in, and he wasn't. Easy as pie.

The hype was absolutely minimal untilt he last week in the mainstream. Only nerds on the internet got the super hype. So... are you a nerd?

I played a dwarf noble, and got in easy.
