It's clear you're coming from point-of-view that isn't really based on the facts, but based on what you've limited yourself to see. That's okay, because we all do that to an extent.

Excellent thought.

And we at NASA can't get a decent budget...

Carl, while I wouldn't expose my child to that sort of imagery at your daughter's age, I would like to commend you on your patient and progressive approach to explaining the virtual and real world to your daughter. That's solid parenting, in my opinion.

Fiber optics is a field that requires testing too.

That is pure brilliance.

I'm sure it has been noted that in Red Dead Redemption, you could shoot dogs. There were repercussions for doing so. Given that, I don't see why that same behavior wouldn't exist in GTAV.

Well, that was amazing...

If you think about it, it is simple, much like turning water into wine and walking on water is simple...

The Grand Theft Auto V announcement is bittersweet. While it is awesome to have another installment in the RockStar classic series, it serves to remind me of the biggest mistake I ever made: becoming an adult.

Hahaha! Excellent!

Not so much. Your "Transformers" analogy, Mr. Attorney, fails to consider the following: filming permits. These permits, in effect, turn public streets into a private film set for a period of time. These permits are enforced by local enforcement, who maintain access controls. Anyone who is not authorized to access…

Howard Stern has an OnDemand channel where his television crew (he's had a television crew for over a decade, I think) records the radio show. You can actually enjoy watching a radio show! It's neat!

It's Benjy "I ate my brotha..." Bronk!

I'm guessing this is related to the FIFA Ultimate Team game mode. It is "crack" and these hackers are crackheads, stealing what they can to get their fix.

While "Wing" Han Tsang screenshot is up, the following was said:

Not to mention the Ford Escort Mk2 that was sliding around in that clip. Not nearly as a surprise as the part of the video you're talking about though...

That image is so "misadvertising," I agree. Where are the homeless people and burned out drug users that linger about the Red Box kiosk like zombies? Where are the cigarette butts? And the impatient "Dude, just pick a movie!" movie dorks waiting behind this woman?

I absolutely agree - Nuketown is being sold as an iconic map based on its quality, but I find that to be hard to believe. Team Fortress' 2Fort is iconic.

From a hand-eye coordination point of view, I've certainly lost the edge I had 15 years ago. The competitive FPS was once a comfortable companion, but now is simply the bane of my gaming existence. I find myself situated firmly in the lower 50% of just about every Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 scoreboard. I'm that…
