I've played Human Revolution. I almost wrote about it instead of Dishonored, actually, but I couldn't resist talking about this mission. I wanted to do a more positive article, too—I don't have favorable things to say about HR's stealth overall.

A softer helmet can help cushion the blow, allowing the head to slow down as impact is made, which would mean there is less of a chance that the brain will crash into the skull.

I concur with essentially everything about this. Being a PC gamer is very much a tragic, yet wonderful affair.

Podcast subscription to Car Talk and money.

Several passengers interviewed said the bird deaths were the "most pleasant" part of the entire United experience.

The justification essentially boils down to "we have historically been discriminated against, therefore its not wrong of us to become the oppressors." Sure. That's fucking logical.

If getting a boner while on a boat with a pretty lady is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

Because click-bait. Thats how.

There's clear evidence that Google Voice is being rolled into Hangouts over time. You're upset that Google isn't wasting precious developer time updating an app that will be obsolete within a short amount of time...? You can't be serious.

Why would you switch from Google Voice now?? With all the evidence we've seen lately that Android L will finally integrate Voice into Hangouts, it seems our long painful wait is finally about to pay off.

Did you rent a car? I'm wondering if I need to learn to drive a manual transmission. Also, on what side of the road do they drive? Thanks.

I'm seriously considering having my wedding in Iceland. It looks so beautiful and my fiance really wants to go there.

My only complaints were about the food (tough for vegetarians!) and the smell of the water! You get used to it, but man it stinks! We loved going to the local pool - it's pretty cheap and not as crowded as the blue lagoon. Lovely rooftop hotpots!

Reading your blog now...yes! Also from NYC. I totally agree—no ambient sound. Hot and cold tap water from entirely different sources and clean clean clean air. Plus the people are pretty nice, in an at-arms-length Scandinavian way (which I prefer). Ugh, I haven't been back this century—going to check airfares…

We did Iceland in November. It was fantastic! Got to see the Northern Lights, too. Yes, there's limited daylight, but where else can you snowmobile in a blizzard on top of a glacier on top of a volcano? But the food is hella expensive.

I'm going twice next year, to see the long night and the long day. Absolutely cannot wait.

I've been four times. I LOVE it there. So quiet, so stark, so beautiful. If you get a chance, head up north to Akyurari. It's just 100km from the polar circle and it's like being on the moon. Lake Myvaten, which is in the area, is great for birdwatching.

Fantastic suggestion. I vacation there regularly, almost exclusively in the winter (when it's rarely much colder than NYC). There's a truly great music scene there, the scenic possibilities are numerous and the folks are lovely. And it's one of the best places for solo travel in my opinion.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty did a great job showing Iceland off to the rest of the world.

I love this suggestion - I've always wanted to visit Iceland. Someday I'll get out there.
