Windows XP is the single most overrated operating system in history.

I still have a laptop with 10.6.8 on it that I basically use to run Warcraft 3 and nothing else.

Man, I really miss Bugdom and Nanosaur. Those G3/G4 days were the best in some ways. I managed to have both a Windows and a Mac at the time, so I was pretty much set, gaming wise.

That, and we spend more on our military than the next x (hard to pin down, but it’s at least 7) nations combined. $200 billion can go a long way.

I remember this being a big deal in a few major multiplayer games. In the earlier Halos, they did it purely on win/loss, which people HATED for team games because they could play very well (at least visible stat-wise) and still lose. Then, they tried to implement a skill component to the rating, and players hogged…

I remember how bad it was on Cod: Black Ops 1. If you spun around really quickly, the truck would be almost completely textureless.

I call greenjackets

There are also plenty of people who are guilty of murdering one person and also have life sentences. There’s nothing special about Hernandez at all. Sentencing in general largely depends on the individual judge’s feelings.

“guilty beyond any reasonable doubt” is different than “most likely guilty, but I suppose there’s some doubt,” both of which are different from “innocent beyond any reasonable doubt” and “most likely innocent but there’s some doubt.”

Badminton is underrated.

The thing about Westbrook is that he’s not even a bad defender. He’s about average.

They traded UP for Trent Richardson.

I remember a reviewer wondering if the sinking ship being named USS Obama was meant to be an election joke.

You know it’s bad when an Indianan is calling you a moron.

My first thought when I played it was “well, this is a lot of fun. Sort of like Painkiller mixed up with GoW.” Then I learned that Epic had bought out People Can Fly.

I don’t really see how Syria threatens the US. Don’t get me wrong, gassing your own citizens is an evil, shitty, thing to do, but we’ve already proven that engaging in proxy wars against Russia always comes back to bite us.

My sweat from playing an intense game (luckily, I’ve always been relatively sweat-free, which made cutting weight for wrestling harder) smells way different from exercise sweat. I usually don’t sweat at all unless it’s a multiplayer game or a very intense boss fight.

Guaranteed $4 million. Even if your case is strong, you’re not going to get a fair trial against a cop.

This has 69 likes, so I can’t actually, in good conscience, give it another star.

I actually could have told you what inquartata (one word, no hyphen) and THACo were, but I’m a nerd, so that’s not saying much.

I’m a very casual basketball fan, but I also could have told you the Raptors existed, and it’s hard to think of another franchise it could represent, unless the ‘76ers are secretly the…
