Always liked that pic of Maverick.

Y'know ironically, a windblown trampoline caught in a series of power lines is LESS dangerous to humans than a trampoline sitting motionless on the ground.

Given that it says "57th Street" in the news story, I will venture a guess that no, it is in no way the Freedom Tower.

Final scene from Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands? That is, a sandstorm strong enough to pick up huge chunks of a city.

Legends of Kyrandia . . . *strokes chin thoughtfully, sits back and gets misty-eyed* . . . now that's a name I've not heard in a looong time. A long, long time . . .

I don't think I've ever watched a full episode. All I know is 'anthropomorphic frog'.

Just to kick in here: As a function of my work, I buy a lot of watermarked PDFs (mostly in the form of technical standards; these usually come with a bottom-of-the-page watermark saying "Downloaded by Kogeaux, 1/1/2015. Reproduction or copying prohibited." These PDFs also have restrictions on them that prevent them…

Until then you could just put 2 TVs side by side, one playing NGE, one playing Sergeant Frog and then whip your head back and forth between the two until they blur together. Sounds workable.

Okay, I guess. As for me, I want a reboot of NGE with Starfox animals instead of people.

Hey now: As long as you go slow at first and make sure that everyone is enjoying it, there's no reason to go around bashing a good hard shafting.

I do have to say I deeply appreciate the differential ergonomics of tablet or handheld device use vs. TV/console, desktop or laptop ergonomics. Due to a combination of past athletic injuries as well as personal preferences, I find it much, much more enjoyable to spend time either standing up or lying down. But…

No. You do not want to play Eve Online. It's like if Ayn Rand swallowed Star Trek whole, then pooped it out again.

That's up there with finding the Ring of Power on a creek-bed 500 years after it was last seen.

Batphone. Clown-nose red. Keep it under a cake-dish on an end table.

Another Thor, huh?

Yeah, this is the definition of silly PC shit I don't care about.

Nice to know I'm not alone out here. Srsly, tho: Musing seriously about other people's reproduction or lack thereof is like the high-fructose corn syrup of the internet now.

Hmm, you may be right. 'K how about "Dark Void"? I remember that game being hyped to the sky—revolutionary! you can fly in 3D! jet packs!—and yet rarely has anything fallen so colossally flat.

Goddammit George (and io9) PLEASE just stop posting articles about reproduction and birthrates. The comment threads are just alwaysalwaysALWAYS brobdignagian clusterfu*ks of woman-hating, "Idiocracy"-citing, dystopia-positing, eugenics-musing Stupid. Just don't do it. No matter how 'interesting' the topic, just plain…

Okay, I take it back: This *can* be profitably mocked. Go to the site itself:
