Would have been more enlightening if the poster elaborated on why each item was in the list. I can make guesses, but don't make me beg your question.

#12The sad thing about this list is that the best barbeque in the country is just 20 minutes south of Austin, in Lockhart.
Which is? If I am ever in Austin, I'd like to look it up.

"the best barbeque in the country is just 20 minutes south of Austin" Which is? If I am ever in Austin, I'd like to look it up.
I went out of my way last time to find well-recommended, off-the-beaten-track BBQ in Memphis (we did a road trip from Chicago to Austin this summer), and was disappointed. Slate had the same experience.

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
The author titled his post "50 things I never need to hear at another conference". Presumably he feels he has heard this wisdom often enough to have internalized it.
I dunno, the whole post read as if he was trying to make some kind of point about accepted wisdoms, fashions and memes of the game industry. This one is more of an indisputable fact.

Here's a fun article from Calvin Trillin about an upset in the 2008 barbecue rankings that placed the best to the east of Austin: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/11/24/081124fa_fact_...
