You might turn this thing around if you update that there’s a kid in the trailer they’ll release if the car sells. Otherwise you’d need brain damage to pay that much for a ‘93 slushbox Geo.

NO YOU FUCKING STUPID STUDIO this is the OPPOSITE drrection from where you should go. The game did a great job. Who is Lara? She’s a random graduate student who survived a terrible shipwreck. She found reserves of grit and resourcefulness in a situation where most people would lay down and die. She was discovering who…

Counterpoint: it was really fast and loud and it handled great but not as great as its raw speed so pushing a Countach meant you were constantly about to shit yourself. All that stuff you said has nothing to do with going fast and almost shitting yourself because oh shit that corner’s coming too fast and WHERE’S MY…

Heh. I will never forget when a prominent member of our field said to my postdoc mentor at a conference, “I tried your experiment with [protein in dispute] and got the same results. I still don’t believe it.” Science!

Ah, man, NOLF2 is an all-time great game. The rails scene where you ride a tricycle behind a clown is amazeballs. Pouring out some of my old-E for compatibility and ownership hassles.

This will make an excellent fleet for my minions. Everyone gets tinted black Sierras now, except the dorks who get Land Rovers, and every day you hear about some goons ending up in the wrong high-speed shootout, or a Presidential motorcade or something.

Yep, that was my plan. Reliability wise the car was a tank, until it totaled itself. Now I only buy manuals.

I never even installed EVE and I know the meta-game IS the game. Among the most legendary and impactful players in game history is Vile Rat. Empires came together and fell apart on his word. He did his most important work with a phone, in person, or by game chat. I don’t know if he ever shot anyone with a ship…

You should write about the infamous CVT in the ‘98 Civic HX. I took mine to the dealer shop for a small whining noise in ‘07 and they came back looking like my dog died. Realizing that year’s CVT was a hopeless lemon, Honda tossed the spares and cut off support for it. If your car gets The Problem (whatever it was)…

You had me on a hook until the cut springs. You can replace those, but it harshed my buzz enough to take the other stuff more seriously. I would knock the cost of fixing the odometer, starting problem and AC off the price at least.

How many brown Subarus are there? This merits closer investigation.

Thanks, you covered it better than I would have.

Okay, YES, 2cv is a classic Torch-ninja suggestion, but for a 3 hour drive? No fucking way. Plus the whole car is a crumple zone. I think they repurpose old 2cv’s as accordions.

Affirmative. Also some people just hate watching a video and prefer reading. Accomodating both kinds in one post is very smart .

It looks like they threaded a near impossible needle: liberals can read it straight while conservatives can read it ironically, and neither side seems to upset about it. For a game that primarily exists to make money, that would be a masterclass in reaching a diverse customer base with a topic that’s usually…

I think they handled Mormonism with a lot of respect. They spent a whole episode ragging on its weirder qualities mostly to build up to a punchline: it’s a damn fine way to raise a family (mainstream Mormonism anyway), and anyhow all religions are weird.

An enthusiastic rec for posting the transcript below the video. You are the first person I have seen do that on this platform and thus win mega positive mojo from me.

You mean a cat has never had you.

Um, no, I’m sorry, that is not possible. I have it on good authority that THE look for this fall is drop crotch corduroys. Please correct story.

Ok but what about the orb? Did it just float off on its own, satisfied that its work on this planet is done?
