Been there before, but at a gaming event. Everyone should be lucky enough to experience that state of mind at some point in their lives.

The lag compensation has me fuming, personally. It gets consistently worse with each iteration of the series, and it’s now at the point where it’s essentially predicting my movements on my lagging opponents, then killing me even when its prediction is wrong. More than once I’ve been in a safe area of the room, but the…

I’d like to think each person should experiment and find what works well for their body chemistry. Growing up with a brother with a blood clotting disease, Tylenol/Acetaminophen was the household staple medication for headaches and the like (which I used to have a lot of, somewhere around 200 a year), since Aspirin…

Hah. While my car dealer was beyond sleazy, I actually felt I got fair value for my trade-in. Heck, the trade-in actually covered 90% of the tax and title bills, letting me slap $200 on a credit card and drove my used Honda Fit off the lot (now $15000 in debt - GULP). I let them screw me on the wheel locks ($50)…

I’m rather curious about this myself. I know onboard WXR can be a crapshoot depending on what the manufacturer jammed in there, but you would think that a storm this bad would still show up on their scope. Amused at the “blind landing” label, though; someone needs to tell the media about this “ILS” technology those…

I’m okay with this. Windows Home users should have had this enabled by default long ago, though my concern stems from the fact that Microsoft has had quite a few bad patches released in recent months, which necessitated rollbacks to restore system stability; their QA had better be seriously improved if they’re making…

The biker deserves a fine for lane splitting.

As a gay man, I also approve this article. Definitely learned some things to try the next time my favorite man is back in town.

Absolutely agree with the gauges thing. Especially in a day and age with digital dashboards, you mean manufacturers can’t build in some digital gauge face for this stuff? I should be able to turn my key backwards in the ignition and have the battery power my gauges again, so I can diagnose potential problems then and…

I think iOS 9 is absolutely worth running on an older iPad, even if it’s one that sees somewhat routine use, if only because it breathes new life into that old hardware. My original retina iPad was slow as an iPhone 4S under iOS 8, but upgrading to the iOS 9 beta suddenly made common interactions as zippy and quick as…

I wish I knew what sort of projector and screen combination it used. This setup would be killer for Elite Dangerous.

Absolutely not surprised, given the slap in the face this was. “Oh, you want the ENTIRE EXPANSIONS for Destiny? That’s $80 plus a can of Red Bull, please!” No, go fuck yourselves, at least ArenaNet gives me 4k in play money/gems for that price you goddamn cunts.

Awesome article! If I ever got the chance to go back and do more work for the DoD, I would definitely choose the Navy (medical issues and, at the time, sexual orientation prevented me from enlisting).

Safety Lazy feature design.

Even with regards to state inspections, the worst they can do is fail the vehicle and let you leave with it. I recently had the “privilege” of finding this out first hand when my brand-new-used car failed inspection less than a year after I bought it, due to two broken foglight lenses and a tire sidewall bubble. Long…

Man, none of ya’ll must have had frayed controller cords on your gaming systems growing up. This isn’t just a Mac adapter issue, but a general cord issue. Even if you’re just, say, coiling a USB cable around the middle of a controller, you always want to leave about an inch of unstressed cable from its exit point of…

True story, My friends and I three manned to victory in a HotS match after our two teammates gave up. Our core was at 16%, enemy team had no remaining forts. Shoved them out of our base and nuked down their core.

I doubt that. Chances are it’ll be like UT3, where only certain mods were allowed to function, so long as they didn’t drag down game performance in any significant way. Things like community patches, texture replacements, and total conversions won’t work, I bet, or at least disable things like Achievements or…

Kinda have to agree with Skeffles. The UK sites were abhorrent last I checked.

Man, I must be the only person out there not affected by this crap. I won’t say I don’t buy crap I don’t need (my Mothership replica from the Homeworld Remaster is proof enough), but when I do buy something, it’s almost always independent of sales or retailer crap. I buy it because A) I’ve wanted/needed it for a…
