Uh... what the hell do people do on the shitter that makes it necessary to take their glasses off? That's some hard straining yo.

The necessity of playing coop is why I'm not bothering with it. I'm over 30, none of my friends play videogames anymore and there's no way I'd want to drop randomly in and out of other peoples games at random stages. Meanwhile my singleplayer experience of the first game was boring - far more boring than something…

"even for Mel Brooks standards"

I expect it is supposed to be Rihanna's beaten face, but I don't think it's about male power dynamics. That's overanalysing and misandric. The man is a celeb, and he is famous for one thing. He will exploit that. We're talking about him right now when by rights we shouldn't be, since his music is shit and he's a…

No shit. When they start installing these in humans it's going to be a brave new world. Of immolated skeletons and stomping cyborgs. I hope these guys are working on life extending implants to install in themselves so in a few centuries they can become our last hope of combating what they unleashed.

I had not. However did I survive without enormous furry breasts in my life before now

Sorry to break this to you, since I am aware society (or rather marketers) have told you everything you just said all your life, but those things you mention do not make for adulthood. Material possessions, money and bills, a significant other. There are 14 year olds with these things and they aren't adults. There are…

"Raptor specialist Jane Fink Cantwell, who dresses like Indiana Jones"

Hairy yes, ugly, who knows... under all that hair. Given her size I'd say they found a female wookiee.

I left home for over a year after a parental shouting match at age 15 for very similar reasons and had a job, girlfriends, personal growth, just a blast. I only came back because my dad's health went down the shitter and my mum became so bitter she wouldn't leave the house, both of which were blamed on my leaving. I…

That smile is making my soul hurt

This is "10 times quieter" than the first model? It takes more than colouring it black to make it stealthy guys, no marines will want a walking stone grinder following them everywhere.

Did you have a sibling or a close friend round? If so, dollars to donuts they were absent mindedly transplanted.

An interesting article about death by starvation, and the comments fill up with dieters and bodybuilders. Someone flag down the next interstellar bus please, I'll pay for all our tickets

Well we were forced to watch it. We were told it was worth watching, here on this site of things relevant to our interests, but that suffering through that noise was necessary. We do get to complain that was the case afterwards. So here we are complaining about it. It could've been set to country, and non country fans…

"I think we've been fairly upfront with the fact that we course-corrected on Star Wars because we felt like we were fighting too many headwinds in the marketplace and it needed to be repositioned to fall with what customers were telling us, which is, ‘We love this experience. We want to drop in and drop out of it.'"

What, me? I won't be buying, reading or talking about it to anyone. I suppose if a comment on an io9 article, and a negative one at that, is publicity enough to sell more copies then I have indeed fallen into her trap. I think, though, you overstate our marketing case here.

What, "minutes to hours"? Are we to assume you're 16? Any older of a man and you'd know it intimately, any older of a woman and you'd know it second hand. Obviously the proper stimulation whatever that is case by case helps, but real life isn't porn, often it just doesn't click and everyone has long workdays now. I'd…

This is the sort of "feminism" that gives actual feminism a bad name. What makes me sad is that there will be scads of ill informed not terribly wise women who haven't read any real feminist literature or versed themselves in feminism who will gather at the watercooler and tell each other to read it, precisely because…

I'm not clear on your point about vision here now. I said that vision correction is fair because it gives everyone equal eyesight acuity (rather better than poor sight at 20 feet) and that superhuman acuity beyond 20/20 (if we even had the technology to correct to that standard, which we do not, or the optician…
