The joke is that he's getting worked up over a continental breakfast. Continental breakfasts are universally terrible even though hotels treat them like a huge selling point.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:Notch got exceptionally lucky in taking someone else's idea and making it just about work. Beyond the bare bones almost everything that makes Minecraft worth playing has been made by the community, and Notch himself has proven unable to do anything even remotely as interesting or successful as a follow-up. Why anyone would think that he would be a good chat show guest is beyond me. He seems conversationally dull and gives the distinct impression of being on the spectrum. Because Ferguson doesn't care about that nerd poo poo, he wanted a popular game creator on his show.

^^^ That's the one that was a former blues bar, right? I don't remember much of it but what strikes you as fake? ...of SCIENCE! posted:I don't watch many late night talkshows anymore, but the creator of Minecraft was on Craig Ferguson last night and good lord is it a testament to the Ferguson's ability that he didn't just implode when confronted by computer nerd awkwardness compounded by Notch being ESL. Boy, he tried really hard to keep that interview going. I can't believe he managed to stretch that out to 10 minutes. I guess this interview answers this question, but does "the guy who made minecraft" really have enough star power to make it onto late night talk shows? raditts fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Nov 9, 2013 |

Well sure he makes lots of money, but there are plenty of filthy rich people that are not interesting enough to rate a talk show interview. I sure as poo poo wouldn't want to see an interview with those Penny Arcade goobers.

Every person I've ever known who has been a waiter, bartender, busboy, or manager has insisted that movies like Waiting are 100% representative of environments they've routinely worked in. They describe the food service industry as a drugged out circus of questionable ethics and hygiene inhabited by certifiable lunatics. Then those same people tell me shows like Bar Rescue and Restaurant Impossible are fake because no place is that bad. I try to point out that they've described way worse things to me but they just can't see the connection.

The SO watches a lot of TLC shows, and I keep getting trapped watching this show Four Houses. I don't know why, I guess I kind of dig it, but only because I keep waiting for one that'll have a cool Man Cave or Sports Bar but it hasn't happened yet. But there are like a dozen on the DVR at any one time, so maybe eventually.

Bud, a married father of three, is a Border Patrol agent who feels threatened by the cultural changes that have transformed his neighborhood. Living next door is Ernesto, an industrious Mexican immigrant and father of four, who is proud to be making it in America.

My family has worked in food service for three generations and although I haven't seen any of the shows you guys are talking about, I can confirm that there's no bottom to the food service barrel. Running a restaurant isn't about being good at business or good at cooking. Its about being dedicated enough to show up at four in the morning and work until ten at night for next to no profit. Its about being okay with perpetual debt, working in an industry that's as stable as a rowboat in a hurricane and facing periods of months or even years of stagnant or declining sales. In short, food service is about being crazy enough to stick it through, which is why it attracts the extremes, both good and bad.

Oh my goodness gracious, it looks like all of Clone High is on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvhrKdiyMKc (They got the episode numbers/titles for 8 and 9 mixed up...obviously, that one is "Raisin the Stakes: A Rock Opera in Three Acts" and not "A Room of One`s Clone: The Pie of the Storm." I can't decide if I like the musical one better, or the one where one of the clones is horribly killed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdrTG5lLjQA "You're a...G-G-G-G...DEAD GUY!!" "Ooooh...YOU'RE A GENIE! For my first wish, I want my dead best friend back....Ponce@ You're back! Aww, I missed ya buddy!"

Season 2 > season 3 > season 5 > season 1 > season 4, so in other words, arguably the same as Buffy. Season 2 was the most amazing, presumably because the writers' strike afforded them time to really think the season through. Season 4 was problematic, but it had its highlights, and season 5 is worth watching.

After a while, the new episodes start to feel like just more of the same. That said, I'd still recommend it. The chemistry between the cast members was incredible, and I can't overstate how funny this show was. Captain Awesome telling Ellie he was attacked by a bear? Pure gold!

DominoDancing posted:It's good and a lot of fun to watch, but it shares the curse of many episodic shows. After a while, the new episodes start to feel like just more of the same. I didn't actually find it funny per se, but it was very fun, if that makes any sense. It balanced the lighthearted stuff with the serious stuff really well, and for the most part, the cast felt like they were people you'd really like to hang out with. Season 4 is where that "more of the same" feeling really hits hardest, but all things considered, Chuck and the gang had considerable character development over the 5 seasons. Every half-season marked a point where they thought they would be cancelled, so as a result, every 10-13 episodes, they'd take three steps forward, followed by two steps back. Still, you could see their lives and personalities moving forward in concrete ways--you could name any situation in the series, and you'd probably be able to identify the season solely from Chuck's reaction to said situation.

I thought the first two seasons of Chuck were genuinely special, but then it started to go down hill and soon it was into this bizarre place where the writers knew they were still on the air because of the dedicated fans and started pandering to them to a ludicrous degree. Everything turned into bad fanservice and the central relationship that gave the show it's heart began, as I recall, constantly retreading old ground it should have been beyond.

Fox's treatment of Raising Hope this year has been strange to say the least. They started moving it around and burning off episodes last season but then went ahead and renewed it anyway?

Watch the first two seasons of Chuck and pretend the rest never happened. The finale is actually pretty good, though.
