While I echoed your surprise at the Orange Box TF2's final design, I had to admit that it was much more consistent with the original Team Fortress mods/games. The realistic approach ultimately wouldn't have felt like Team Fortress at all, and that certainly would have hurt its adoption by consumers.

Ah, that is to be found by following the "join the alpha" links, which I wasn't particularly inclined to do.

Likewise. The older brother seems incapable of closing his mouth. Everything else looks great.

What's wrong with tall gamers?

Didn't say anything about him holding onto the ball, just pointing out that what is going on with the player's body is pretty much exactly what happens to a real person who is a victim of a rotary throw. Obviously people's arms do not pass through other people in the normal course of things, but perfect clipping…

Where am I expected to read that? I've checked two articles and everywhere I can find on the game's website and nowhere have I found that sentence.

Call is legit, he clearly steps out of the endzone and then falls back in. Physics is legit, too— what happens here is basically what happens when someone is thrown using a shoulder lock (a kaitenage or rotary throw).

The post-credits scene WAS pretty disappointing. Everyone who stayed through the credits groaned. Not many people give a damn about Howard the Duck these days.

ADD is now labeled as ADHD-I or ADHD-PI for inattentive/predominantly inattentive. There are three subtypes of ADHD: ADHD-I for inattentive, ADHD, and ADHD combined type.

Your understanding is not complete, then. People with ADHD are more than capable of focusing and concentrating on one task— in fact, they're often superhumanly capable of doing so.

If anyone has any doubts about how dangerous something like this is even when you land the jump perfectly, don't fail to miss the damage to his pants after he exits the staircase. There's a *reason* he takes up the first quarter of the video showing how many precautions and preparations he makes before trying the…

There's nothing quite like finding a way to do something that no one thinks is possible, whether it's in a game or in real life. You can still have that feeling when you're playing a game without fall damage, but fall damage in a game provides another dimension to play with.

That was my hope when the DLC was first announced. Maybe Ish or his group will get all of Last of Us 2?

I'm comfortable with either 'mischief' or 'clusterfuck.'

I think the most interesting finding in this study is that 1-.12=88% of those 1244 gamers are liars.

Don't watch the video if you want to maintain the illusion that these are actually pikachu-sized. They're objectively less cute when you realize exactly how big they are. Also measurably more terrifying.

Have you ever really tried this in real life? I guarantee that if you climb halfway up a hill and decide to jump, unless you consciously decide to jump directly off the slope, your brain will do its damnedest to make sure you jump straight up rather than down the hill.

One of the biggest hindrances to ESL learners is that people are often afraid to give them corrective feedback. It's totally possible to do it in a helpful, non-douchey way, but most people don't even make the attempt.

This isn't relevant to the debate/controversy over females in the game, but I thought the last comment about how the Templars and Assassins are going to interact with the French Revolution was extremely encouraging. It SOUNDS like the shoehorning issue AC3 suffered from might be a bit more deftly handled.

It's an X-Wing. The seam is very clear near the engines, and you can see that the wings are split down the middle of the wings so that when they split there will be a forward wing and a back wing.
