Ah, found one someone mocked up in Photoshop. Needs moar roof scoop, 22 spoke wheels, and dirt!

If this awesome artist takes requests, I would ask for a FR-S/FT-86 in this style:

“According to a study conducted by the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE), there’s a 70% chance you’ll burn through that cash or lose it all within five years (regardless of prize amount).”

Based on the Steam page the background appears to the standard def versions, BUT they appear to have been fed through a good upres’ing filter. They’re obviously low res, but if you compare to the FF7 and 8 PC version backgrounds, far less pixelated.

Yes because you will never be able to prove that someone who pirated a piece of media would have bought it if they didn’t have the illegal option - as you can’t prove thoughts. But at some point you get old enough to get over your own pedantry, realize how scummy people really are, and recognize that many of those who…

That image search returns some real gems.

I don’t know that 9’s is much better. I played the game fully through twice and I can not recall one facet of the game’s plot other than there’s a parallel world at some point.

If you’re burned out on the general Assassin’s Creed forumla, it’s not going to change that because it’s still one of those games. However, it is a far better and more interesting game than Unity.

You know the brake flashers (at least the good ones) are not a constant strobe right? They blink a few of times and then the brake light is simply solid like normal. The animated gif in this article shows that. Blinks twice, then solid. If you find two blinks annoying, you might be oversensitive.

I would also add this:

(Full Disclosure: Ducati wanted me to ride the 959 Panigale so badly they flew me to Spain, where wine and cured meats were consumed while trays of shellfish filled paella were passed in front of my face.)

Yeah but there is record of writers objecting to boobs in other games, and Japanese games in particular, including other DOA games. That’s pertinent; general criticism of pandering games (of which DOAX is clearly an example) contributes to the overall state of the market which may or may not have had anything to do…

Not as ridiculous as implying a group doesn’t exist unless they inspire a murder. Or pointing to the actions of a single insane person as being representative of an entire group. I’m sure I can point you to an article about a woman killing a man somewhere. That’s a good enough counterpoint, right? Talk about…

“going to bat for marginalized groups”

Black Flags port was not “dreadful”. I ran it fine with a GTX 680.

It transformed my perception of the bike and, based on anecdotes from many other owners on the CBR500 forums, I’m not alone in this respect. Don’t underestimate how a good soundtrack can alter an entire experience.

A great deal of that “soulless” feeling you mention disappears when you put an aftermarket exhaust on it. If you get a Yoshimura and stick the low volume insert in it, it sounds worlds better while still not being obnoxiously loud.

Not exactly an original thought here, but this seems overpriced. Like all “starter” bikes, these will take a big hit on secondary market - but that’s good for buyers. Should be able to pick them up on the cheap in a couple years. For <$5k it would be a nice putt-around-town bike.

Even if looks are of primary importance, Yamaha will have you covered with the XSR700 in month or two anyway.

Dude it’s not like top 10 lists are exactly the epitome of journalism to begin with. In the pantheon of important reporting and valuable knowledge, one person’s or a group of people’s subjective ranking of *some piece of fandom* doesn’t exactly rate. Listicles, as they are called in the trade, are an easily…
