Going to a chain wing place, especially that chain wing place, the one that occupies the site of the very nice Nevada, is a disgrace.

It depends. The downside of having a computer connected to the TV is that it's always on, so having a quick look doesn't take very long. If it's pissing it down, I'll take a break from killing video game bad guys and check the forum every now and then.
