Which is funny because all the Emails I keep getting say "July 31st is the last day you can preorder and be guaranteed a system on launch day"

I see the new Wolfenstein also mentioned.
Well, this is awkward.
Welcome to the club* buddy, can't wait to see the Leafs put that work on the Red Wings.

Hmmm...will give this a try
This coming from a cat that drinks Coors?! D:
Still haven't heard of anything, so I assume it's still wait and see.

New consoles is the only reason I would go back to FanExpo. Went there a couple years ago, didn't care for the experience.
I went there fairly recently. Good crowd but nothing I would consider too busy. No problems in that regard.

You've waited this long, you might as well wait two more weeks so that I can afford buying everyone a round.

I'm going to somehow blamed added_time...
Speaking as someone who has bought a few pitchers for the group. Shit gets expensive son lol.
Make sure it's Coors light for Kave

I believe my first post always came with an asterisk to denote a first come first serve, first round only thing (so that late comers are punished, and hopefully won't hurt as bad)

I'll take a water, please and thank you.
Ew. Beer.

Water probably has a higher alcoholic content too

Beer? What are you talking about?

If Holyday wins the byelection who will be there to make Ford's ideas look at least like something a human would come up with??
I hate beer.
I picked up a bottle of Terrible around Christmas-time. It was really surprisingly good.

So it seems like my Gamasutra post has gathered one guy who seems to be REALLY upset with me. And from my weakass google-fu, he might be a local Toronto guy.
Welp, I knew it was about time I angered the Toronto gamedev scene, but he better not be one of you. No beer for you at meetup!

What's his beef? I'm too lazy read right now
Speaking of, I've been out of sync with this thread for a little while. When am I getting drunk with you folk again?

I am a self entitled, whiny bitch who asked for too much and just whined about why no companies want to hire me because I set my expectations too high...or something like that.
Jobbed. Celebrate. Are you turning down free*?
(*)Free for one round
I can't believe Phil Fish got upset with you.
I'm pretty sure I'm buying particular Gaffers drinks, but I don't remember who - pretend you were one of those gaffers and you get a free drink
Also, fuck the dude who is bitching you out, I promise it's not me
I am now having second thoughts about taking a game programming class

programming is completely awesome as long as your skill matches up, AND, good fundamental CS skills can take you anywhere (like my new job)

Those examples can hardly be called beer...
IT WAS ME, ALPHA! SUCKA!
Wait...what are we talking about?
I understand the fundamentals and I have a very strong design sense... Just unsure of the depth a dedicated game programming course will get me as well as the distance it will take me.
Plus self teaching C++ is a bit of a bitch with no guidance (and limited time)
That's his portfolio? Yikes.

Yeah, any language being self taught will be a bitch.
I don't know how good a game programming course will be, but I'm personally very wary of all these "Game Desing/Game Development" degrees, and I am absolutely grateful for my parents putting a stop to me going for one of those instead of the CS degree I hold now. Worst case scenario: I can still get a programming job.
...as for the internet sleuthing? Meh. I rather not point fingers and find out stuff, it's not really my business anymore, right?
Hey, you guys around Yonge/Sheppard: suggestions for places for lunch?

Where the hell did you find this ar...nevermind, I never question what you two do anymore
And the 5 guys there sucks compared to the other locations.
guy I knew went to Sheridan college for game development -he asked me for music for his project... Found me through soundclick, I guess. (Now i cant use my music for my own project now nooooo) This was around 2007 or 2008... He is now a senior coder in ceridian... Afaik they only taught C#/XNA at the time lol.

:lol
Why does it suck? Never been there. A couple of my friends love the Tim Horton's in that plaza but neve been there too. They say it looks amazing inside.
Never been, but I've heard the Five Guys on Yonge/Dundas is stingy as fuck with their fries. And dumping in tons of fries is supposed to be Five Guys' signature!
The one on York Mills/Don Mills is great. We went pretty late one time, and they had too many fries left over, so the dudes offered us a whole pile of 'em for free. Mmmm. Five Guys' fries are yummy.

Pretty much this. Burger just wasn't as good. Fries not as much compared to what I got at other locations.
All beer I've ever had was nasty. Only tolerable one was some green apple stuff because the green apple covered up some of the beer taste.
Rum/vodka/whisky/other booze>>>>wine>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>beer

Anyone in the by-election areas today?
So talented. And such creative ideas. A matching game!!
Man I used to work near Mel Lastman Square, that whole area is chock full of restaruants. They pretty much cater to the lunch crowd though and I have ABSURDLY LOW STANDARDS so I wouldn't be able to guide you much. There are a bunch of restaurants down Spring Garden Avenue. I like the Sakura there for Korean/Japanese stuff. The further North you go the more Iranian places pop up that you might like. Koobideh is some great kebabs.
There's Buk Chang Dong Soon up near Finch which is pretty great for lunch. Also Sushi Moto which is closer to Sheppard is really good too. Also King of Dumplings is somewhere in between those two.
