Did they? It was taken away in the book 2 finale when Aang took too long to finish things and Azula struck him down. Only when he got it back in the end of book 3 and used it to trounce the super-powered Firelord did it seem like an "instant win", except that for the conflict, winning the fight wasn't the question.…

I do this with a phone charger that I sometimes need to use while at work. It ensures I don't leave my phone or my personal charging cable at work. Everyone who I ever talk to about it says something like "oh, that's smart", but I'm still the only person I've ever seen do it.

The idea is more of a "hey that's neat" idea than one which is meant to be better.

I took my obsolete Motorola Droid and repurposed it for music while I shower. I also gave it a new launcher that only had buttons for various music apps, picked a live wallpaper that changed according to local weather, and made the face of the thing always show the time. The light of the screen even worked well as a…

This looks great. It's exactly what I'd like to have in my car. I don't know how Android-powered car stereos aren't more common. The mounting looks great too. Is it just sitting over a stock stereo head unit, or what?

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but yes, "wings" on cars are sometimes used to increase traction by pushing the car down.

Guys, this was the future that could have been. After we see this future, Biff went back in time and altered history. Then Marty and Doc went back in time and altered it again, ostensibly back to normal. Then Doc went back to 1885 and Marty followed shortly thereafter. All of this mucking in the timestream caused…

I have a hat like that. I wear it out sometimes.

I'm grateful for the work that went into making PokeMMO work. I even played it extensively for a while. I was just explaining that a fan game will probably never be able to fill the hole in most fans' hearts. People want to play a game with an epic scale and modern graphics. Hacking a network of players together…

It may not be "poorly done", but it's still a fan game and it still very much feels like a fan game. When people say they want a Pokemon MMO, they want a current one, not one that uses graphics from a game that's been around for nearly a decade. Seriously, check it out, Fire Red came out in 2004, it's 10 year…

Superman has killed Zod a bunch of times. In the comics and even in Reeve's Superman 2, I hear.

Uh, what. Casual players were never beating the best Brawl players. I had a friend who was significantly better than me, perhaps nearly as good as the folks who do tournaments and all that, and he consistently destroyed me, always. Now, I thought I was pretty good, and in fact, I could beat most of the people I played…

Nah. Pixar and the other major animation studios do cartoon-y animation in 3D with realistic features like skin textures and hair. It's a fine line to walk, of course, but look at something like Up that has dramatic caricatures of human anatomy and tell me that the cloth texture or detailed hair make it fall into the…

Haha, why would they intentionally make characters able to slide around on the ground in a weird way that makes no sense at all. It was obviously a quirk of the physics engine that just wasn't fixed. They probably didn't think anyone would make anything of it.

Yeah, I loved juggling in the air with Pikachu on N64. No way to really do that in the sequels, at least not to the degree it was possible before, not to mention that they stole Pikachu's awesome reverse aerial kick attack and replaced it with garbage.

It might have been better, but they replaced problems from Melee with brand new problems for Brawl. Kind of annoying to fix one set of issues only to introduce wholly new ones in other areas.

I was under the impression that fans would have developed an unofficial way to play their Halo 2 online still. Or rather, I guess that they would have if it was as important as you make it seem. I know of a few MMOs which have had unofficial support from fans, so I guess I was just interpolating that the fans of the…

There's a difference between killing online support for a multiplayer game and KILLING THE GAME ENTIRELY, which is what Justeman and others were commenting on. Obviously online multiplayer support will at one point be killed off for every game that currently has it. It's happened in the past not only on consoles but…

Before Microsoft shuts down the servers, they could easily send out a firmware update that tells the console it no longer needs to authenticate with their server to play games. Or if the authentication is baked into the games themselves, update the firmware to spoof authentication locally.

Riding Pokemon? About time. I always thought it was stupid that you could "fly" on your Pidgeot and "Surf" on your Lapras, but you couldn't actually ride them around in place of your bike. If it's a story development thing, just make it limited to certain Pokemon and require a special saddle that can only be obtained…
