oh, for *bleeps* sake. This game is visually and thematically obviously an hommage to the 80s , in style and context as well. These kind of references were all over the place back then, a lot of characters from japanese animation of that time didn’t strike me as particularly matched to their surroundings too. Take a…

That damn drift is visible worldwide. We see it in Germany at the moment, with the rise of the right-wing AFD. When an official state judge rules that it is clearly ok to call one of the party leaders a Nazi based on his views and outings in public, then you know what you are dealing with.
The people voting for these…

your banking account cannot be cleaned out with your debit card since the cards have limits on how much you can actually cash out at any place. You can only temporarily raise the limit (p.ex. if you want to purchase a car with it, you can raise it for 24 hours via verification with your bank).
There is also a 24hour…

Why though? In Europe thats basically the number one source of payment. Credit cards are still not widely accepted in quite a few regions here. And they are kinda dumb too, when I pay with my debit card I can see the transaction seconds later on my mobile phone and know how much I have left in my account. With credit…

At first I was thinking that at least for the tourists it could be some kind of “culture shock”, thinking that in Europe a “plantation” could be considered as some kind of agricultural estate where specialized crops are grown without any connotations.
Then I remembered the rich european history of “Leibeigenschaft”,…

But they did release “unspecial” editions on DVD at least.
They released 2 DVD boxes containing the special edition and the original theatrical release in 2007 for all of the three original movies.
The quality is far better than all the rips that were in circulation from the Laserdisc versions.

Ok, that was pre-Disney,…

but it wouldn’t be fair to say that all regions of eastern Germany are right-wing oriented or even plain Nazis (even though a high court has confirmed that it is ok to call the leader of the currently strongest right-wing party a Nazi). There are some places that are actually pretty open to leftist ideas.
Strangely, a…

Far right groups, loyal to the Nazi ideology, were organising on Steam (some of them militant) because the groups on a gaming platform were mostly overlooked by the law.
Until now.
The problem with being an international corporation is: if you want to continue to do business in all the countries, you have to abide to…

All Volvos I know of can easily get to 300.000km. With the 800 series, there’s a saying that they are barely “broken in” by that time.
I owned an 850 T5 (the turbocharged model, 225hp 2.3L) that was boosted to approx 280hp, still had its first turbo at 300tkm, engine was never opened, and I got it in a very sorry…

So you are saying:
- you don’t care about fuel consumption
- you don’t care about visibility out of your car
- which means you don’t care about the heightened risk of killing pedestrians, cyclists and playing children
- you don’t care about the space your cars use (more need for paved parking spaces, wider roads, less…

Increasing weight, increasing size... are all these engineers out of their *bleep*ing mind?
6 litre V8? What FOR?
The 3 Litre Diesel should be the maximum size for these kind of cars. You can never ever efficiently use the additional power from the larger engines while obeying the law.
I am sorry. A large/fast engine…

What a SHO-off. 

Get it a TME exhaust and downpipe now! 70% less restrictive than the original pipe, and with a decent chiptune it will reach 270-280hp without sacrificing any of its engines safety margins. You can go much higher with these, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Change all the vacuum hoses, use original Volvo spark plugs for…

Yes, you still have to steer. But I wish Tesla wouldn’t call their system “Autopilot”, it is just misleading to an extreme degree.
I bet the name alone accounts for 50% of all accidents happening with it.
Over here, Teslas are a pita to insure, their premiums have gone up because of all the accidents that happened. In…

Stop&go works fine with a simple distronic like the Mercedes S-class has had for over 10 years.

Correct, since the guy who made a movie owned a license to that particular script/novel, complete with “James Bond” as a protagonist. The Broccolis tried to prevent him from making it into a movie, but in the end they were not successful.
In a way, it predated the current, more “realistic” Bond trend in several ways…

nsna was made by a different party, it is not an “official” Bond, but was made because the rights to the story were disputed in court. Thats why it includes no Q, no Blofeld, no SPECTRE etc... and why it was released the same year as Moonraker.

Wasn’t there in the past a habit among japanese game developers and their artists to copy other works of art and overlay them with their own designs?
iirc there were a lot more game covers than CONTRA and Metal Gear that copied heavily from western movies, and also in-game graphics (again, Metal Gear - throughout the…

Heh, so it comes down to personal preference and maybe the other equipment one has at home. All the stuff you mentioned doesn’t work for me on the ps. Plus, I enjoy that I can have people on several different devices play Minecraft together (we still play it a lot), Xbox, PC and Android work together like a charm in…

The console itself ist more enjoyable to use than anything else there on the market. It has the best first party gamepads, also the biggest colour and design variety for collectors there (not counting the custom designable controllers from MS directly), and it... simply works. In semi-standby, I can install games from…
