Wow, in London 7 or 8 dollars (or £3.50 £4 in real money) isn't bad for a drink...
America is so cheap! When it becomes cheaper to fly over, buy stuff and bring it back, it might even be worth going. Until then, Seattle!!!

Depends on what kind of drink we are talking about. Here, a 12oz bottle of beer is usually USD$2 or so for domestic cheap beers (Bud, Miller, etc) and $3-4 for an imported or higher class beer like Heneiken or Samuel Adams. 20oz mugs (1.25 pints) of draft is usually $5-$6 depending on what you get. So yeah, I'd say $7-$8 is overpriced. Even concessions in sports arenas usually charge around $5 for a 12oz.

What? World in Conflict is an incredible RTS. It's definitely a nice change of pace from your typical resource gathering RTS. The beta was fantastic, and the recent demo release is even better. Pretty much every problem I had with the beta appears to have been ironed out, and the game is very well optimized. On Seaside (previously known as USTown2), my frame rates have doubled on max settings--from 20 FPS to 40 FPS, even during intense firefights. I'm definitely going to get this game.

I wouldn't mind "riflebutting" that chick in the middle. But I'm a sucker for some cleavage.

The one on the left could conflict my world. Or...something.

As a result to those overpriced drinks, the party was really, really empty. The only people there were the ones who wanted to try out the game. Unless it got crowded later on. 8 dollars for a standard beer, not so great.
