Popcorn smells way better than it actually is. I'm always like "Holy fuck, I wants me some of that popcorn" and then when eating "Y'know this is actually kinda dissapointing, and my lips are aging at 500 times the normal speed"
Unless it's movie popcorn. That stuff never fails to please.
Would movie popcorn be as good as it is if you weren't watching a movie? I think it'd be regular popcorn. And that you need the whole experience for it to work it's magic.

It stands on its own. It's more about using an actual popcorn machine for me. Microwave popcorn cannot compare.

Well, see, I have a popcorn machine. So that would explain it. Nothing fancy though, just a cheap one from WalMart.

I just spent five thousand dollars of company money to buy a copy of SolidWorks!
Wheeeee!
Hey big spender!
My stepdad spends millions of dollars of company money on various hugeass parts for the steam plant he works in. It's kind of gross how much money they spend on a daily basis.

I love that about working for a big company; "Hey can I spend $10,000 dollars on something that may never get used, and $5,000 on a course whose content I will forget in a month?"
Not only can you, but doing these things will get you a payrise next year, I absolutely insist that you do these things!
I just wish I could find a way to channel this ridiculous spending into something that would actually benefit me.

Yep, that's the great thing about big companies. My department's advertising budget is absurdly high. I'm working on a project with a $25,000 budget right now... and that's a small project.
Edit: And yet, they refuse to get me a better computer.. I just realized.... wow... how stupid.

The company that I worked last summer does software for energy companies. Budget for one project is often over a million dollars. This for one single program licence! Also the updates for the software cost hundreds of thousands. I've never thought that Adobe software is over-priced since.
Also, thanks for the suggestions for the cafeteria problem guys. I might use one of those!
What are your guys' thoughts on "races" as they pertain to pen and paper games?
Do you think that they should be entirely different species of peoples or merely factional/regional differences? It seems like no one I talk to has an opinion about it.

That depends on the context the game takes place in. Races are much more distinct and, as such, it is harder to hide their racial traits.
If its just regional, people could be really sneaky and part of the story could be one region of people trying to hide/blend in with another for some gain.,
Actually part of the reason for my earlier complaints is that I'm trying to eliminate classes altogether. HA! It's proving to be quite the challenge. Even so, I think I've made quite a bit of headway today.
No, I mean classy in the sense that it won't draw a bunch of nerd rage. I know I can't please everyone, but it's hard to tell what works and what doesn't. Imagine if one of the races was anthro or something. Everyone I introduced the game to would be like "lolfurries" and that would be the end of it. I'd like to avoid that situation.
You should be able to play your race as any species, provided that species actually exists in the real world and the players agree not to do anything that that species could not realistically do.
This could lead to an interesting "Homeward Bound"-based campaign, if the players are up for it...or a really boring "Homeward Bound"-based campaign, if they all pick humans instead just to be silly geese.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
so is it a problem if i sleep with a girl that two of my best friends have been... obsessed with for a very long time? She has... told them both that there is no chance of anything happening between them, and they have professed to being ok with this...
am i simply breaking bro-code rules here?

EDIT: But it still murders your lips.
The experience is basically 'Oh man this looks great *bite* tastes like sugahey where'd it go?'
I can accepts this.

I was going to just draw sashimi, but dont think that would communicated as effectively. I prefer sashimi over nigiri for salmon.
Mmm sushi. Salmon is my fav, but I also love uni in mild doses. Also california rolls.

Also like tuna and whitefish is ok I guess, but oh man salmon... especially toro @w@
lol jokes. I love me some sushi. The real stuff, too. Not that silly smoked fish wrapped in rice.
Do you still get those stupid 'driving around' mission?
Yes, except now there are even races in the Mako. That's how they made it better.
Oh man, Philadelphia rolls are a total guilty pleasure of mine, but I just love lox and cream cheese.
lox n cream cheese! I destroyed a tub of that. On some toast.

No. There are none. Your missions will drop you directly at the location you need to be.

The only thing I'm worried about is doing it right.

I probably went over budget!
I'm just going to hand in my resignation
Edit: no wait... we bought the car with the last campaigns budget... we're just giving it away this month.
Edit 2: Wow, I have a cool job!
Also, thanks for the suggestions for the cafeteria problem guys. I might use one of those!
I'd throw it all away for a chance in Japan.

Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way.
like, rogues and paladin and such?

Most bros should forgive you if you just date for abit... but to bed her randomly I think it would be much more difficult to do so.
Also, random sex usually doesn't end well when friends are involved.
