Or the payload which has continued onward to space, presumably.

Ill and miserable. I can only hope that my very short temper will outweigh the disadvantages of my respiratory infection. I feel like my head's about to explode. *Snnrnrrrrrfffggh*

Agreed, I think it was pretty clear about the researchers showing that epimarks could (not DO) provide a framework that could (not DOES) explain things like homosexuality, specifically its seeming inheritability.

Yeah, randori essentially is simulating more attackers than the number of uke on the mat, where each uke is basically a different person each time they get up after being knocked down by a technique.

This doesn't really contradict your point— 5 people with knives is a very dangerous situation— but 20 people with knives is not very different from 5 people with knives in a fight. This is because it's only really practical for 5-8 people to engage a solo combatant at one time because there's only so much physical…

That thing must have been REALLY hard to launch, in terms of how much KSP slows down when you're launching a highly complex rocket...

In light of that, I'd say your interpretation is reasonable if all your facts are right. And it sounds like the AI is called GLaDOS in the credits? If so, sounds like it's all intentional and all above board, assuming permission was asked, granted, and credit given where due.

But had people outside the production team actually heard the voice back then? If not, there was no way to know it would be so close. Let's hope they actually talked to Valve about this and got permission, else there's an IP issue here.

While I don't agree that AC3 was all bad, I don't really agree that it was necessarily better than AC. AC at least knew what it wanted to do and was about assassinations. In AC3 every single mission is some kind of finicky mini-game that you'll probably never see again and probably shouldn't take any lessons from in…

You don't have to play Revelations, but you DO have to know at least some of what happens in Brotherhood and one of the DLCs for Revelations or you'll be confused as hell about where Lucy is and why everyone hates her.

It's a clonal colony, so the individual constituents aren't as old as the grove as a whole.

Oddly, I have a female friend who tends to shy away from female authors, while I tend to like them and steer her toward them.

So presumably, one of the necessary precursors to recovery was the decline of guemb- goomba- ... gumbo-trillian?

I'm pretty sure the comment about Castro was just deadpan sarcasm on Finch's part. But either way, it's a pretty entertaining line.

As far as I can tell (I'm not a fan of either show, though I did enjoy Eureka for a while at the beginning), if you enjoyed Eureka you'll probably like Warehouse 13.

I like the *idea* of the Amelia subplot, and I think that's one of the problems with it— the writers and producers clearly like the idea of it too much to let it go. Making things worse is the fact that it's the least well-executed part of the show, like everyone working on Supernatural knows it's not really worth…

Wait, Patton is one of the figureheads in one of the Civ games? Heh, he was hardly a military genius himself. But as Thomas Ricks mentioned on NPR the other month, he was very good at pursuing retreating enemies. (Which, when you think about it, is a lot harder than it sounds)

I've long harbored a similar hope. Some games make killing every enemy a challenge, even if your character isn't being portrayed as weak or unskilled. It's one of the many things that make Shadow of the Colossus or the Souls games so rewarding and compelling. There's no reason why every survival isn't a triumph. …

Does it fit with other LEGO blocks? Woops, that'll learn me to read all of the last line. :P

*facepalm* You do realize they aren't talking about directly donating to themselves. They're talking about the money it takes to put together the pitch and the prototypes.
