Given that Dempsey may never play again, this is a dick comment. Way to be an asshole.

Such a bizarre story. Sam’s out after coaching just one game. This should start a long period of soul-searching for the English FA in which they carefully consider their next ma- hahahahaHAHAHA..whew sorry. Couldn’t finish that sentence, they’ll just hire another old school drunky English manager.

Yep. Washington State makes it easy, did it when I signed up for my driver’s license. The ballots come to me in the mail and I send them back the same way. Why doesn’t every state do it that way?

I love fun! Just historically accurate fun.

Not to defend them (because it is super fucking creepy), but they probably aren’t that close. They usually use a telephoto lens like this one:

Erm...historical truther point here, the Great Wall of China did not stop the Mongolians. The Mongolians swept right past the wall and the only thing that slowed them were the heavy defenses of major Chinese cities; this was overcome using Chinese engineer defectors and the trebuchet technology gotten by conquests in…

What does fencing have to do with this?

Getting better hardware is the first step towards getting better AI, though I would note many of the problems of AI in games can’t be solved by simple brute force. (Going into in more detail would take a little while). Coming up with new gameplay style is really, really hard; try to think of something nobody else has…

They’re successful...but in different ways and to different degrees. Yes, those QBs were successful...but their passes weren’t quite so accurate, so absolutely on the money as Tom Brady’s. Look at this throw (his longest that I could find):

+1 history of being pricks from the very start

I’m assuming that Schiano deliberately swerved to hit the guy until evidence comes out proving me wrong.

The question was “Would you play for the USMNT again?” And his response was “If I felt I could actually help and contribute? Then yeah, of course,” but “That’s a million miles away, I’ve played a total of like 20 minutes now in two years.”; what about that response is stupid? I don’t like Landon Donovan, personally,…

#1 No way Valve could hire testers for $10-12/hour in Bellevue, WA. At least $16 an hour would be the going rate.

I’m not sure why you’re so worked up over this. Donovan was responding to a question by noted idiot Dan Patrick about whether he’d play for the US, and in his own answer he basically said “yeah sure, if I’m asked, but it’s probably not happening”. Donovan didn’t say “I’m back and I think I deserve a spot!”. This is…

The virtual monopoly Steam has is really the heart of the issue, yes. But quite frankly, nobody has put out a compelling alternative. GOG Galaxy is DRM free, but beyond that there’s no really compelling reason for consumers to switch and they have a more limited library, in part because of the DRM-free policy. Uplay…

You’re viewing it on a small scale. This one developer is terrible, that is self-evident, but figuring out which developers are terrible means testing all developers. There’s no quick and easy fix here. And let’s be honest, most people just use Steam to buy big name games and never look at the indie stuff; they just…

Here’s the thing, the console makers don’t really do all that strict of a testing process anymore. They ensure the game launches and can save data (if applicable), that certain menu items the console maker requires are present and that required logos are there. Unless the developer wants the console maker to do the QA…

<Hate you Kinja>

Mortal Kombat on the SNES was censored, no blood or gore or fatalities. Mortal Kombat 2 and Primal Rage were uncensored...but only because Nintendo realized they were missing out on a lot of money. It’s also worth noting that the “Seal of Quality” no longer existed, they stopped the program in 1988 (the SNES was…

Let’s be clear though, the Nintendo “Seal of Quality” also kept a lot of creativity from making its way to the marketplace; you had to pay Nintendo to be even submit your game and if it didn’t pass the process, you were screwed. This meant that only a handful of large publishers could actually put games out on…
