There’s at least one bar on the hub station.

You can actually see a fair amount from the apex of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. When we were there last Summer, they were just grading earth. Not much to see then, but Disney knows how to build and build fast.

Any open world game that hides tangible in game rewards behind game bloating tedious “collect X amount of this item annoyingly scattered across the entire map” quests.

Arkham Knight is one of the WORST offenders of this. I never got to beat Riddler or see the true ending to the game because FUCK riddler trophiees and…

Thank god. I grew up on the Atari and the NES, but the MechWarrior titles ate up enough of my teenage years that I cannot -wait- for 2018 (and I was already stoked for the western release of Yakuza 6).

If a shoe and apparel company wants advertising on the site in association with a viral hoax they can call our sales department.

Moff’s Law was one of those formulative moments in io9 history where things really just clicked together and shit got serious.

Your Avatar post was my first experience with moderating folks, and I think that irrevocably broke something in me for the better.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to contribute to this article in time for deadline. I founded io9 because there was nothing else out there like it, and I wanted a place where I could find all the science and science fiction news that I craved.
