@Mythos: Yeah, Darth Talon is a poor excuse for comic book fanservice, but you have to remember that at that age kids don't think beyond "oh hey this looks cool." Admittedly, the whole "tattooed and using lightning" thing probably does look cool to a little kid.

Outside of Valve single-player-only games have been vanishing.

What is wrong with this guide? Now, mea culpa, I don't buy guides very often and only have one or two (it's been years since I've gotten one), but this looks pretty par for the course for a "strategy guide." Aren't these things always "glorified art books?" Isn't that the only reason people buy these? The free,…

@Atsumi AKA Tiff: I got Alpha Protocol a few months ago, but I just got around to playing it this past weekend. The only thing that really bugged me was that it was difficult to reload the game if I made a poor conversation choice (difficult, as in I had to use Task Manager to force-close, since there's no save option…

@B-Money: A mission trip is a great experience; I hope you find it is both a blessing for those you serve and a blessing to those who do the serving.

@andreramses: Sales tax is an add-on fee since sales taxes differ from state-to-state. Often, internet purchases do not tack sales tax on, since they are technically interstate businesses:

@rorkimaru: Think of it like any subjective grade (humanities) - there isn't a "perfect" paper, since there are no objective standards of quality that can be met beyond certain baselines (things like APA, MLA, any formatting standard). Scoring an "A" or anything between 95-100 doesn't indicate any sort of perfect - it…

@rorkimaru: Just as a point, 4 doesn't mean "better than 40% of games," just like 40% as a grade doesn't mean "better than 40% of submissions." It's not a percentile score, it's a grade. "4" is an "F," and there are plenty of games with game-breaking bugs that ship and can go unnoticed by a lot of people.…

@JimThePea: I take solace in the fact that Gul Dukat is immediately more recognizable to me than the other one.

@CheritaChen85: It's that rhythmic high hat that does it.

Wherein another article says that it is more likely that one thing causes another than to say that two things are positively correlated because they both involve similar intelligence.

@Bryy Miller: No, because "hero" implies "copyright infringement."

Speed them up 10 times and the whales will be singing Justin Bieber - fact.

Thanks for the reminder! Would have completely forgotten - which is okay, since I went back to school this year and consequently was under the minimum required for filing. However, thanks to remembering to do it I will make sure that I get upwards of $250 in the mail.

@gigawings: That would be a "coincidence." It would be ironic if the doomsday came in the form of the Combine, though.

@Cerabret100: Your other prof simply wants to know what you want him to say. A good idea when asking for letters of recommendation is to remind the professor who you are, what you've done with them, what your relationship is like, and what qualities you want them to emphasize. This is all of course paired with letting…

@imaeffinginger: People often use redundancy for emphasis; for making a point more clear.

@Kanji08: A great way to capture Foley FX for rain is to simply fry bacon in a pan:

@DangerousDac175: It's very likely a Z-95. See comparison shots above.

@Sumada: I don't think he was saying that phones can not be entertainment devices, but that they are not intrinsically designed for entertainment ("[they] are not by definition entertainment devices"), which is true. He's talking as a matter of original design specs, and "entertainment device" is not one of the core…
