I’m not sure how useful macro combos would even be in Smash, even if they were actually an option for this controller (which they aren’t). Smash combos are so dependent on character weight and spacing, plus character weight changes as percent increases and players can influence the direction their character moves…

This. It isn’t just forgetting, it’s the part of our brain that allows us to do routine tasks with nearly no conscious thought short circuiting occasionally when we do something out of our normal routine. It sounds like in this case the father was looking for a way out, but don’t paint all parents who have a similar…

Jesus, I thought we left this kind of shit behind with the Satan Death Cults and Day Care Child Abuse scandals back in the 80s. Does no one learn from our sadly recent history?

Yes, Joel lied to her, because as I said, he was making a unilateral decision for her because at that point he felt like her father and wanted her to live. Marlene also made a unilateral decision for her by not ever waking her up to ask or tell Ellie anything about the actual cost of the procedure. Sure, Ellie felt…

Ellie wanted to help the Fireflies make the vaccine, but she never said she wanted to die to do it. Especially since it would hardly be a guarantee the vaccine would have even worked whereas her death would have been very real. Marlene never let Ellie wake up to make the actual decision. Both Marlene and Joel made…

I swear I read a book with this exact same concept and wondering  if this is based on that book. The first third or so of the book was pretty interesting as it dealt with the pressures and psychological damage of being unexpectedly tasked with ship maintenance on a 100 year journey and the loss of friends and family…

Thanks. I couldn’t remember where I read that article for the life of me.

The amount of junk science that has been and probably continues to be in forensics that determines people’s lives is terrifying. I remember reading about a disturbing case where a man was executed for arson which resulted in the death of his children, but it turned out that the “science” that the arson investigator…

Watching this gave me flashback nightmares of my Gears of War 2 days. Watching him dance circles around his opponents reminded me of facing guys who had mastered the cover slide mechanic in Gnasher battles and having them just slide around me to gib me as I whiffed my shot.

Actually, you’d probably be surprised at how often Jason Williams looked for his own shot. Dude had no conscience, especially from three. He would do the same pull-up three point shots from ten feet beyond the arc like Steph Curry does now, difference being Steph tends to hit them. Williams was talented and…

I actually think the Prius was planning on passing the Tesla without checking to see if the other lane was clear. You can see the Prius starting to edge into the other lane before swerving back and then slamming on the brakes. Either way, the dude was an idiot.

I’d argue that if you’re making only 60k a year (is that net or gross?) you absolutely cannot afford a 1k/month car payment unless you’re living at home or have an incredibly killer deal on rent.

877 pounds is a typo, right? Because making me think that a little more than 3 1/2 of me equals the weight of a blue whale analogue is more than a little depressing.

How many 3-1 tweets is Lebron about to get?

The Dubs’ biggest problem this season has been Klay’s inability to hit a three for some reason to start. He’s something like sub 20 percent to start the season.

Yeah, I never got how people ever thought this was a love story. It’s a story about two horny teens who eventually kill themselves over a massive crush. It was too bad that Juliet couldn’t have held on for another week, which is the amount of time it probably would have taken before Romeo saw another hot girl and…

If Musk delivers on his remarks today (and even as a huge Musk/Tesla fan I know it’s a pretty big if) then the future is waaaaaay closers than that. If Tesla can truly deliver cars within the next couple of years capable of driving themselves significantly safer than human driven cars, then you can bet your ass other…

I must be missing something. How do fixed armrests prevent someone from groping someone else?

I wonder if the 3.8 percent of players who shot Mordin counts players like me who did it just to see it and then reloaded? I’m guessing not. I propose those people be tracked down and immediately exiled from the planet, because only a heartless bastard could let that horrific betrayal of the best ME character stand.

Now I really wish I had put down a bet that Kris Dunn or Brandon Ingram would be RoY . Also, I hope Simmons recovers quickly.
