Frown: I had to get 4 1-day passes since the 4-day passes sold out in 20 minutes, and the site randomly came live. If it wasn't for someone mentioning tickets had gone on sale on one of our internal mailing lists I would not have known to get them, since I don't use the Twitters that they used to inform people tickets were up. 4 hours after the tickets went live everything but the Monday passes were sold out.
Jeesh!

I wish they'd have a more central PAX. They've got East and apparently even a PAX Australia or something, but nothing in the central US. Not everyone who likes games has a zillion dollars for plane tix to the two spots they have it, nor do they have the time to pull off work to drive the 700 thousand miles from the central US.

What about the people in other countries? I suspect a fourth PAX would be in Europe somewhere.

Wait wait wait, back up.

I am deeply saddened that any of you would either A) enjoy Buffalo Wild Wings, B) recommend it to others or C) recommend taking the sauces home to make your own wings. You people must have never tasted good wings.

Next you will be telling me why I should order Papa John's pizza next time I want a slice or that Ruby Tuesday's makes a pretty solid burrito.

I worked there. The wings aren't that bad. That said, apart from Wild sauce, none of them made me want to bring the sauce home. There's so much better, including my home recipes.

Maybe if you are comparing them to other chains and/or fast food places, but as someone who has had many wings in and around various establishments in Buffalo and CNY and now enjoys some the best wings I've ever had from a place nearby, BWW wings' are indeed quite detestable.

Yeah, but are they 25c, or 50c even?

No one disparages Papa John's when I'm around. What, you think Little Caesar's is ambrosia?

Papa Johns does the weird shit where they put the pepperoni down first and then put the cheese on top.

Why the hell would you do that?

I concur, Buffalo Wild Wings is pretty bad. The atmosphere and beer prices are the only thing going for them.
