How our expectations have grown. For instance, the original Fallout was guilty of the first two dealbreakers - shitty tutorial and a slooow start. It only really gets interesting once you've gained enough levels to not die every single encounter.

A techno-sphinx? That's pretty badass.

"For the body to receive the power of The Leek, your mind must be open to The Leek. Never forget: whether you believe The Leek can help, or whether you don't - you're right."

The impression I get from this is that nobody at Vogue has any clue about what most 9-year-olds are interested in.

Here's my genius analysis of Measure B:

I think a point that often gets overlooked in the discussion about pot is that it is simply not for everyone. Many people smoke it habitually, and they show no ill effects, it may even be beneficial for them. But there are also people who had better leave it, because they do seem to get slow mentally, or retreat from…

It needs a better title, one that gives the book an air of unlocking the secrets of some stereotypical, casually racist version of a foreign culture.

Hell yeah! Whether you want to simply rebuild it, or beef it up with V8 power and customize it, you can't deny this is super cool. A refreshing counterpoint to the opulence and gimmickiness that was already beginning to spread in American car design at the time.

All relevant responses have been made, so here's a skirt anecdote:

Julia Louis-Dreyfus somehow never looks "right" to me without 90s-Elaine-Benes hair. I've watched all her shows, but somehow when I think of her, I think of her as Elaine, coming through the door/sitting down in a coffee shop going "hel-looouu".

Yeah, I love it as well. It's a quirky little bugger, very agile but not very fast. A bit like a Porsche but with an economy engine. Also fully loaded with the latest in 80s tech, including a trip computer with voice.

Ok, hope I remember that picture... the restoration will probably take about 2 years, and that is if things go well and I don't hit any major financial bumps!

I'm a lot like you, I rarely throw stuff away and most of what I have is quite old. I actually inherited a car from my mom when she died 3 years ago which I'm currently restoring from the ground up (that's one hell of a craft project, I tell you - currently teaching myself how to weld). It got spared the usual routine…

My parents were the kind of people who always had to have the newest "in-style" home, and redecorating always involved throwing away everything that wasn't on the pictures in these "better living" magazines.

Oh, that's great for curiosity value alone! What style of music is it?

Captain & Tenille, Burt Bacharach, Kenny Loggins where what they listened to when I was a kid. My dad also liked bland pop-country like Alabama.

That's a great collection indeed! My parents mostly listened to shallow crap, so my record collection only consists of what I gathered myself. Needless to say, my tastes weren't always spot-on. I'm still mostly partial to rock and roll stuff, especially Southern rock as that is what I grew up with. I also listen to a…

Really no reason to be afraid. I mean, just look at all the people who drive. They're not special people, and if we're being honest, a lot of them are probably not as smart as you are! If they can do it, so can you.

Driving really isn't hard - as long as you can stop yourself from being distracted, you should be fine. Protip: manual is slightly tougher to learn, but the gear-shifting keeps you focused. Do you live outside the US? Because driving licenses are really not that expensive (if you can get someone to teach you, you…

I just found a stash of my old records I'd sorted out to maybe sell and pretty much forgotten about. I still have a lot of my old records and love them, including some really rare stuff too (3 Mother's Finest albums!), but I sorted these out because I thought they were not really as cool as I thought they were when I…
