Ten mile radius would cover a lot of major metropolitan areas, at least. Plus, there's probably a decent number of items that get ordered frequently enough for it to be cost-effective to house multiple copies in every warehouse.

GPS locators on the drones (presumably, they'll use some form of GPS for navigation anyway), cameras to take pictures of anybody who claims a drone's loot, charting of routes/lost drones to pinpoint areas that drones get shot down in...

It feels like someone decided to use a cheongsam for a Japanese-themed performance, simply because it was easier to move around in.

A year's membership at Sam's Club is $45 at the base level - I'd call that a decent price. If that's too much, try to find someone who already has a membership, or who wants one - you can split the price, and use the secondary card they give to 'family'.

Best Buy had a deal on it last week for $12 - I picked it up. I would say if you're going for a dollar spent:hour of entertainment gained ratio of 1:1, it's good at $20 and under. It's a little light on story for an RPG - think of it as more of a Mario sidescroller with some added explanation. The sticker and coin…

Look at 'staple' foods, they'll tend to be cheaper - eggs, bacon, bananas, potatoes, bread, etc. On top of that, buy bulk - for example, 6+ pounds of ground beef can be acquired from Costco/BJ's/etc. for $15-25, and can last for two weeks easy.

That's pretty much always going to be the case. Newly released consoles won't have the bugs ironed out, or the big (and easily accessible) libraries that previous generations have. The Wii U is a decent example - it's just now had a price cut, and a year to develop a library. Not the greatest, mind you, but far…

Hey, I don't know where the proper place to note this is, but - reading Kotaku and Gizmodo off RSS feeds, I frequently get a page not found error that's prompted by the link containing extra characters in the URL. The format is almost always kotaku.com/title-name-numcode/authorname, where authorname seems to be where…

Remember that massive list of indie games? The one that includes titles like Fez and The Binding of Isaac?

Well I hope you read the book because I'm not saying it's too commercialized. I love the commercialization of Christmas because it spreads the Christmas cheer.

Eh. I think that's mostly coincidental - it wasn't a miraculous resurrection, and so many other things are dependent on user choice that I can't really get behind it as a Jesus allegory. If you went full Renegade, you were Commander Shepard, Professional Asshole. And even if you didn't, you still weren't very…

Shepard's story was a Jesus allegory? You're gonna have to explain that one.

They're shooting for the market that isn't comic book nerds. And since Carol Danvers is getting a surge in popularity as Captain Marvel lately, it doesn't appear that the name will be that big a hang-up.

They aren't stupid, they're scam artists. They know there's a chunk of the population who believes in this, and that they can make money pretending to take care of whatever's happening.

Just a warning for anybody considering the XPS, or an Alienware instead of the Qosmio: Dell quality is awful, and the tech support is worse. My top of the line Alienware, bought ~17 months ago, had a complete motherboard failure almost immediately after exiting the 1-year warranty I bought. Not only does Dell refuse…

That's one possibility - another would be that availability of cameras in the 1950s was still fairly limited. The technology wasn't -quite- mass-market level yet, with camera prices back then equivalent to $600-800+ today. With cameras being limited mostly to press photographers, it might have been easier to control…

Well argued, sir. I shall now retire in shame from the onslaught of your well-reasoned arguments.

No argument here.

So, because it doesn't happen in the third world, it's not a problem? You should keep that in mind the next time you complain about a paycheck, traffic, many government functions, computers...

Compassion isn't a finite resource. No, binging and purging are not problems on par with starvation and war refugees. They ARE problems, though. People have killed themselves through under/over-eating. Do you think they did that intentionally? That even after seeing themselves in a mirror and seeing bones through…
