Yes.

Every time I hear one of my friends say "I might get that system if I like the exclusives enough" I want to hit something.

Someone is an Adam Carolla fan.

all of those seem correct to me (have not heard of caiman clips, but pour and steel wool are fine be me). Are they also regional?

Holy crap! Alligator clips are called "crocodile clips" now? When did that happen. Is "alligator clip" wrong? I just looked it up and Wikipedia redirected me to "Crocodile Clip."

Have you checked out the recent remake? (http://kotaku.com/5979770/yamato…)

Best mix of: accessible to someone who is new to the series, meets the tropes and systems that made the earlier games great, meets stylized visuals that hold up today.

I am really happy to hear this. The forums over at the website must have had some misinformed people (like me). I am SO pumped for this game after hearing from people here at Kotaku!

Spent waaaay too long trying to make this make sense in my brain before I realized it was a typo.

Nope. Checked the website. The physics apply to maneuvering thrusters for dodging right and left but ships top out at a max speed around WWII dogfighting speeds and do 180s like planes. They decided that realistic physics can't be fun.

Well this makes me cautiously optimistic and super excited for this game. I'll reserve judgement until I play it, but that would absolutely make my day.

Did we watch the same footage? Because I saw a bunch of fighter-type craft banking with their wings.

Am I the only one who would really like to see a space combat game with actual space physics? As in, not just planes with a dark background but: no air-braking; expending equal fuel to slow as to speed up; pilots having g-force limits, but drones able to accelerate much faster; true 3d / having to define your own…

Especially with the logitech profiler, which lets you set up different button layouts for different games and map buttons to keyboard keys. This lets me play even unsupported games easily.

I use SideReel.com for this. It has a calendar of all my shows that has the earliest air time for each show and streaming links. It also keeps track of which episodes I have watched, and has a running list of unwatched and upcoming episodes.

The printed page is obsolete. Information isn't bound up anymore, it's an entity. The only reality is virtual.

I could not agree with you more. It was the forced romances (which made Korra and Mako into horrible people) that really killed the show for me. You know what was not focused on (seemingly deliberately) in the first series? Love triangles!

I actually find it distracting that she is pretty close to the light source behind her, but she is more strongly lit from the front even than he is.

There is an excellent series on this topic:

I used to own a coffee maker with an alarm clock feature built in. I kept it in my room and I would load it up before I went to bed.
