oh, it is important, playing an FPS on a console with just one analog input device feels somehow restricted. Case in point: Goldeneye on N64, Quake3 or UT on Dreamcast.
Playing a FPS on a console feels somehow wrong anyway though. I played Destiny on console (Xbox, like the stick layout much better) for a lack of…

Remember that the dual sticks came only after other consoles already had analogue inputs. Sonys only feat was putting two of them on a single controller. The first playstation controllers had no analogue sticks at all.
The NegCon from Namco was iirc one of the first analogue peripherals for the console. Then sony had…

The Omega Caravan was actually pretty loved by the police and other authorities since it had the biggest space in the back in its price range. It was even roomier than a Volvo 700 or 900 series, and when the Omega was phased out and “replaced” by the Insignia, the police departments were scrambling to buy the last…

I think nobody has commented on the main advantage of these screens: If the cameras are well recessed, there will be no rain, fog or snow covering the image, so you get a better view in bad conditions!

Have you considered the i30 N Performance? almost 400nm and 275hp are nice figures for such a small car, and it has the loudest exhoust currently allowed on the european market as stock :D (regulations say that the driving noise may not exceed 70db or something, but that is measured betweed 40 and 70km/h. So, the…

Depends. Wouldn’t say that, DS9 catered to a different crowd and different tastes. They did what B5 started, having stories that spanned multiple episodes and even multiple series. TNG experimented with recurring elements, but DS9 pushed it further.
The good thing about TNG is: If you missed one episode, you usually…

Sounds Red Bull-y ^^

not the Up GTI, is is quite expensive for what it is.
Starts at 17.000€
You can get a GT86 (which is exactly the same as a BRZ) from 29.000€, but it is already better equipped and simply “more of a car”.’
And the slowest 1/4 mile I’ve seen from a strock BRZ with an unexperienced driver (and full interior without weight…

Funny thing is: It is right hand drive. But... WHY?

might work like the rear wiper on the Porsche 996 Targa. The wiper ist attached to the glass, but underneath it has a disc with a pin sticking out of it. Beneath the glass is the motor, attached to the body with another disc with a slot in it.
When you close the rear hatch the pin goes into the slot, and this low-tech…

Crack Pipe. There seems to be a lot wrong with this one. iirc, all first gen GTIs (at least over here in Europe) had matte black surrounds on the rear windscreen. See attached picture, it was also called “rabbit gti” back then if I’m not mistaken.
The US style bumbers and sidelights are one thing, but the steering…

I completely forgot about this first generation of CRX.
To me, the EE8 will always be the definitive one though, the one “to have”. It is a rare beast here, most were ED9, looking similar, and in most cases outfitted with laughably oversized and loud exhausts.
There is an old joke going around here, about fake quotes…

All the way, but they have become extremely expensive and the original transmissions will blow up if you let them handly anything north of 200nm torque-wise for a long time. And rebuilding a Syncro transmission can be in the price range of the Astro above.
Still, with a Subaru SVX boxer swap or a nice 1.9TDI it is a…

Max level took me weeks - how much do you play at a time? Sounds unhealthy.

The XP throttling never affected me to be honest since I do not have time to play that much.

I bought Destiny 2 at launch and... enjoyed it immensely. It runs fantastic on my PC, looks great, plays so much better than D1 did on console and every expansion made it even better.

I do not PvP though, I like the lore and the story.

probably, but it was only meant as a showpiece for the Wörthersee Treffen, the biggest VW enthusiast meet around. It was never really meant to “work”, just look good.
Fun fact: Police at the Wörthersee lake do not take kindly to the meeting and are impounding cars that are not road-legal by the dozens every time.…

The system in place to enter the US is broken, period.
There was a problem a short time ago when a German metal band, that was supposed to play as a support for an US band on their tour, asked for work visas almost a year in advance and all their communication to the embassy was “lost” or “not yet processed” until it…

As some other notet the absence of malts, I have a few names to throw in the hat:
For starters, or Whisky newbies: Auchentoshan Three Wood. Very soft, yet still of great taste, can be thinned with spring water without feeling as if you hurt it too much. Making it a nice choice to lure beginners to the dark side ;)
Kilcho…

What you get here is the console, access to a games library which normally costs 10€/month here (the Game Pass), and an online service (Xbox Live, normally costing something similar to 60€/year) which also gives your 2 free games/month to keep forever and two more which you can play as long as you keep your…
