Easy. I would fund a 2D Metroid game, using hand painted visuals from Production I.G. Or Bones (like they did with that Wario platformer on the Wii). Barring that, commission SNK to do all the pixel art assets for the game, and have one of Nintendo’s studios make the game.

There’s a douchebag biker who lives in my apartment complex. During the summer month commuter traffic, he’ll weave and lane split between slow moving (but NOT stopped) traffic just to get to his exit sooner. I’ve been sorely tempted to door his ass to teach him a lesson, though in the interim, I’ve taken to…

The rules were struck up in response to the AIDS epidemic, at which point gay men were (and still are) considered most at risk, in addition to HIV essentially being a death sentence, along with no widely available test at the time for screening blood donations for HIV.

I'm sorry, but if physics is able to violate the rules of the machine, then your rules are terrible and should be void :P GIVE THEM THE CANDY!

I’m going to assume you’re serious.

Of course, if your cats are part feral...you’re fucked regardless. We tried double-sided tape, we tried upside-down antistatic mats (with the carpet spikes), we tried sticky notes, everything we could think of to keep them out of the kitchen soffits.

Even if the franchise doesn’t die, putting a neat bow on Nathan’s story and cast of characters would be nice. I hate stories with no endings, proper or otherwise. I’d much rather see Nathan’s end, and a new one begin with an entirely new explorer/team, possibly in a newer setting too, or centered around another…

I’m hoping DLC will add some sort of Diplomatic ending of sorts.

It’s funny you mention that! A sort of tell-all book about the Japanese gaming industry came out a few years ago, and told the story of an (unnamed) developer whose company felt he was becoming a bit too big for his britches, so to speak, so they had the local Yakuza “take his sister to lunch” as a sort of threat.…

I’m glad this is being discussed more. My main partner and I have had a MAJOR crash course in modern treatments and disease progression over the past two months.

I celebrated the fact that Massachusetts wasn’t on the list, until I dove into the detailed rankings.

It feels (to me at least) that the weight of the car may have something to do with the longevity of the brakes, at least for the Fit. The damn thing is eerily light (yet very strong in a crash, as I learned), and I haven’t had to replace my brakes since I bought it 2.5yrs ago. Either they stock the car with fancy pads…

Funny, I’m considering a similar swap on my ‘10 Fit Sport as well, since the brakes seem like they need replacing sooner than later (plus, I live in Boston, home of the short-stop drivers). You do it yourself, or brought the kit to a shop for install?

The Snowball is a phenomenal little mic. I’ve wanted to upgrade to a Yeti for a while now, but other priorities take precedence than a new mic to replace a superbly capable mic I already have.

I live in a magical world called “Boston” in a career of IT where, based on my research, my current skill set is worth about $85k a year (I take $75k for now) based on my education, experience, employment history, and areas of expertise. Cities naturally pay higher than middle-of-nowhere towns, but the cost of living…

I had the same issue, especially with my primary field being general SysAdmin/SysEngineer. A place in downtown Boston that serviced financial clients wanted to pay me $70k annually. I countered with $80k, since they weren’t covering any sort of commuting expense, and had mandated overtime. They claimed they couldn’t…

I did this at my last employer. When my coworkers found out I was making $63k a year, they were livid for two reasons: first off, despite being ten years the junior within the company IT team, I was making roughly the same as the Linux Admin (an insult), with only two of our six team members making six figures. This…

Pretty handy! I’ll have to keep it in mind for 2015 and onward. Ugh, I wish I could afford an immigration attorney to help me sort through this...muck.

I don’t see how it’s a reversal. In 2006, they’re lauding the fact that Games Journalists finally manned up and stopped tolerating the bullshit fed to them by marketing arms of publishers, and instead acted like actual fucking journalists. In Friday’s comic, they’re picking apart what some of those same journalists…

Eh? That's the 2nd gen NA PS3 system, and I thought it ran the bulk of the PS2 library fairly smoothly? I did forget that PAL regions didn't get the first gen PS3 systems with the actual Emotion Engine hardware on board, which is pretty lame. Still, I guess die hard BC fans could either import a JP PS3 with its…
