Sped up and I’m pretty sure cut-up too, cause it goes from the edge of the atmosphere to a few hundred feet above the barge pretty instantaneously.

Yeah, I feel like the only way you’re going to cram 16 people onto one screen is if you have a projector and a free wall.

Haha I didn’t mean that so much as a spoiler warning but rather as an explanation for why I didn’t give a name, so someone else didn’t come along and say, “Oh you mean _______!”

It seems to have improved substantially by the time of The Force Awakens though. Like you have no idea one of the characters is even a hologram at first until they fade away and dissolve (purposefully left vague as it’s sort-of-not-really spoiler-ish).

I think they’re just trailers, unfortunately we probably have to go digging to find the full videos uploaded somewhere :/

Tell me about it. I was pretty disappointed with the building system as soon as I realized how needlessly difficult it was to build a simple structure. Couldn’t get the walls to snap at right angles to each other, corners don’t snap to walls, doorframes don’t snap to walls, hardly anything seems to snap. It’s great…

Just did the math and it's about 60 times more energy to go from Earth's surface to the moon's orbital radius than it is to go from the moon's orbital radius to infinity, not taking into account the moon's gravity. So a little over 98% of the energy to get a mass off Earth and to infinity is spent getting it to the…

Edit: Please delete this post, I swear I hit cancel but it still published it.

I keep hearing this one come up, but I'm pretty sure the tethers attaching Stone to the ISS were still stretching, because her and Kowalski still had momentum directed away from the station. That's why when he unattached he kept drifting but Stone stopped since the tethers (conveniently, I'll admit) went taut. I could…

Pogo was definitely my first thought too.

Can I ask what appeals to you with Wildstar? I played the beta for the first time this weekend and was left incredibly disappointed. I had been really looking forward to it, but it seemed so generic and outdated. I honestly experienced nothing that made it seem like a game launching in 2014. Now granted, I only got to…

It's actually -1, but either way, yes, it is incredibly awesome and blows my mind every time I think about it :D

Yeah, it's a pretty solid game. Resitance is my social groups go-to game. We've played hundreds of rounds, and it never gets old. I haven't picked up Coup yet, but I put together a home made version so we could try it. It's definitely better with more people, like Dyne said, and they have to be willing to lie. I've…

I would love that. The boardgame posts on Kotaku are some of my favourites, since I can actually convince my friends to play tabletop games with me. Video games are a lot harder for some reason...

Yes, yes it was. This was the comment I was looking for, thank you.

Just wanted to note that there doesn't appear to be anyone in the rear end of Bilbo's pony. You can see strings creating a pulley system to move the back legs when the front legs move.

Yes, but there were so many things cut from the Lord of the Rings to fit it into the movies.

The latter. Changing the spring constant would affect how far the spring would be stretched by gravity, but from there the bottom would remain motionless while the bottom fell.
