Of course, the price to be paid for such decadence can be high. Quipped the indomitable Justin McElroy upon seeing the bill: "Holy crap! We just ate two PlayStation 3s!"

I'm told the unreal tournament of flavour that the warhawk has, bears uncharted taste that ratchet and clanks your appetite with a heavenly sword. So it's understandible that you guys motorstormed up a bill equal to the cost of two PlayStation 3 consoles... a baked genji would break down anyone's resistance by its flow alone. Hell, it had me shouting RIIIIIIDGE RACER!
...However, nothing beats Home cooking and a bowl of GT gelatin for dessert. :d

I think someone at joystiq must have "overheard@GDC" the word pretentious, because they've been using it an awful lot lately, and never quite correctly.
If you're eating 5-star, then how can something pretend it has distinction when it already has proven itsself?

Actually, given the expensive nature of the meal and its presentation, "pretentious" is quite correct. It works just as well as ostentatious.

At first I thought Justin was in the very back but then I realized that beaming white light was the camera's flash. Justin after all is pure energy.
Also has any of the Joystiq staff been ID'd in the Inside Xbox videos posted this week. I noticed a few other game bloggers / writers.

Ludwig has to be sitting front left. He looks too distinguished to be American. Justin can't be front right because Ludwig would want to sit as far away as possible while the eating machine known as J.U.S.T.I.N. (Jawed Unit Skilled in Tenacious Imbibing and Nibbling) is at full bore. I think Chris is sitting at the head of the table way in the back.

Ross is bottom right... considering he was the one doing all the Gears of War 2 interviewing.

You're all wrong. Looks like we'll have to put up a labeled photo later, huh? (Hint: Chris isn't in this picture.)

Haha... Priceless.
The real question is, though... Which model? Back-compat?
And yes, I agree with Crono. Get this picture tagged on Flickr or something.

Let's put it this way: To afford the dinner, they actually had to fire Justin McElroy.
And by Justin, I mean Griffin (sadly).

Reminds me of my departments meal at Craftsteak in Vegas. Would have scored you a HP Blackbird system. That Kobe beef isn't cheap.
I'm just glad Justin finally got to go to an event!

Okay, you guys have had more than your share of the word "quipped". Damnit, I've read it in practically every GDC story posted here!

I've been inspired. Tonight, I shall treat myself to a meal that will cost exactly the same as a copy of that M&M cart racer.

Shit, I wanted to reference the "LOOK! A NUT!" joke, but I ended up posting a completely pervertedly awkward comment.
