I used to drink a Guiness on occasion. That ended when I was at a convention for work. I went out drinking with a bunch of sales reps, and one guy was alternating between buying car bombs and Fireball shots. Puking that shit up at 3am, all I remember tasting was the Guiness. Haven't had one since.

The sales guy was puking up and you could taste it? What?

Someone else would need to handle that part unless they wanted me to wait to look up what all went into something on the internet. I have been known to make a pretty mean Brown Russian (I like a lot of Kahlua in my White Russians) but that is about the extent of my skills.

I don't really drink anymore but I can pour my own Bacardi and Cokes though so I am covered. Just have a couple of bottles behind the bar. And maybe a Captain Morgan as back up.

Texture of the food certainly is a thing. I can't eat too much re-fried beans. Mostly cause I can't stand the texture.

That isn't a food I have heard of people having issues with its texture in the past, but I can understand it. Most people I know have used the looks like dog food reason as to why they don't care for it, but I wonder if it is a texture thing for some of them. Personally, I love refried beans.

Tofu is the one that usually gets me. Unless it is firm, cut into extremely small pieces, and fried I don't want anything to do with it.

I can and will ask people here at work, but do any of you guys feel like La Guardia or JFK are better to fly into if I am going downtown?

I think LGA is a bit closer but not a big deal either way. You renting a car? Way back when it was flat rate to Manhattan from either of the airports. And I think JFK has a shuttle/subway thing that will bring into the city. Wow 60 mins? Depending on traffic that could be what your cab ride is from JFK anyway.

When I used to fly into LGA was driving North out of the city so can't say for sure.

I have the same thing with refried beans that Jimbo has.  I have hispanic cousins too so they eat that shit a lot.  My mom loves them.  But the paste texture is gross.  And the flavor is worse.

Yeah it is like eating paste. A little bit on nachos with everything else is fine. Much more then that and no. My wife loves and tries to get me to eat more then a spoonful but that never happens.

Had an "interesting" trade experience at BB.  I had the guy at the door put a pink sticker on the game.  They do that here sometimes.   He commented you beat it already?  I said yeah and he laughed.  First time the guy at the door ever acknowledge what game or games I was trading.

The young woman helping was having a bitch of a time getting the trade done.  Seems a common occurrence at the BB near my job.  She is typing away.   I mentioned I thought the new update was supposed to make it easier.  She said if anyone bothered to train them on it probably would.  She starts trying to scan the game and it is coming up as the Batman PS4 bundle.  Looking back I think the picture on her screen was wrong more then anything else.  Anyway she calls for help.  Goofy older guy comes over and she shows him the screen.  They ask me (again) if I bought the PS4 bundle or just the game.  He tells her to go get a copy off the shelf scan that and see if that works.  Same thing.  I mention as she is doing all this there is a 10% bonus.  She said it is showing that.  I said cool how did you get it to work.  She said she had no idea but she is going put the system trade through anyway and gave me a gift card with $44 on it.  

The picture on the receipt is a bit hard to see but I think it looks like a bundle or something vs just the stand alone game.  

She was really nice and all but took like 15 mins.  If I didn't already have a bunch of credit over GS I would just start trading more there.  I would have be in and out in 2 mins.

Blog post about Quiplash (from the guys who made Jackbox/Fibbage):

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/06/30/quiplash-new-party-game-expands-audience-participation-to-10000/

I bought it right away on Xbone yesterday since I had some credit over there. Perhaps we can get a PSNOT game going over Twitch at some point.

I have this preordered from back on April 14th from BBY before they pulled it from the site.

 
Best Buy still asks me where I work every time I trade in a game.  You would think they would keep some of this info on file since, you know, I have a membership and that could be used to keep everything.  Last time I was there I told them I worked for Mcdonalds and gave a made up number.  I was tempted to say 867-5309.

It always takes longer than it needs to trade into BB just because of their slow ass system and all the BS pawn laws in our county/state.

the more you do it the better they get at it - we're basically their training program. there's a real nice (very tall) gal at the one I'm by now that had similar problems as you had at first. after we did it a few times now she actually remembers me and it takes less than 5 minutes. if your best buy has a lot of turnover you're just stuck with the 15 minute experience.

Yeah the one near my house they do much better usually. They almost never turn the screen so I can see what is going on. A few of them seem to be longer term employees.

I recognize a couple of the same people at my BB. But I only go once every other month or so and they dont seem to remember me. Or they hate me. Probably the latter.

Although the chick that was there when I picked up Batman is a regular and she was and is always real nice. She probably wants the D, but she just isnt my type (ugly). #asshole

 
I like Guinness. Also agree it's best on tap, though the cans aren't bad either. I will have to try those two you suggested, Gator, that are in the same style.

 
I'd be down for some Quiplash mpaullin. It actually doesn't sound as fun as a couple of their other games, but maybe I'm missing some nuance in the gameplay or something.

 
I never liked Tapioca Pudding and it still isnt great because of those bits, but the flavor is okay.  If they strained it or something it wouldnt be bad.

Its like drinking OJ.  Pulp free or it aint for me!  PULP IS GROSS AMIRITE?

 
This seems weird to me, video game publisher Nicalis is sponsoring a website called GoNintendo for the next year, meaning there won't be any ads or anything on the site. 

http://www.gonintendo.com/stories/237387-gonintendo-goes-ad-free-with-sponsorship-from-nicalis-inc

I know video game publishers regularly buy ad space on major gaming outlets, but this seems like a step even further than that. I certainly don't think they could credibly publish any reviews about Nicalis games at this point. Not that Nicalis probably has any games lined up since they take so fucking long with everything they do.

Pulp free or very low pulp I can deal with. Extra pulp? Do people actually buy that? WTF. I don't want to chew my OJ.

I bet CrunchCHEWY likes extra pulp in his OJ.

And he is old. Old people tend to like more pulp. I hope I never get that old!

The price tracker on this site is a piece of shit. Why even have an option for trade values if it doesn't work?

EDIT: It doesn't work for anything else, either. C'mon cheapy. I click your fucking amazon links.
