Nobody said a dang thing when Trypticon showed up in the last one.

And +another.

I think the premise is that innocent people are dying, the US is overall being incredibly callous about it, and it's not actually funny.

Because the PS2's lifespan was longer than the 360's, and it provides inconvenient counterevidence to the thesis.

THIS. The ability to use some devices eyes-free is important to their ergonomics and convenience, but they keep taking away our buttons!

I'm in real estate, so if we need to circulate a document to two parties for signatures we get it back shrunk down and blacked out after three generations of faxing, even though the first send from us is always by email. We've got a system for digital document signatures, but either the clients are such delusional…

Unless more app development went to a cross-platform standard, like a sort of downloadable, stand-alone HTML5. But it's not in the interest of either Android or Apple to encourage that (Android might do it anyway, for data-mining reasons we don't fully understand).

Needs one of two things to make the co-op platforming work: one, the second player has to be able to swap worlds independent of the first (keep the background following the first player, and make the second go into shadow mode.) Second possibility, let one player carry the other through a tricky timing section.

MLP as a franchise has always been a shorthand for "what marketing executives cynically sell to little girls". Just like how, if you were a fan of the animated Batman from the 90's older people would always think it was just like the old campy Superfriends or Adam West series. Spongebob and Adventure Time and all…

I assume the lady in uniform next to Inspector Zenigata is a cop that obsessively chases Fujiko while Zenigata sticks to Lupin. The idea of reframing the story to follow Fujiko instead of Lupin is a neat twist, but one of the things I like about Lupin stories is the group dynamic between Lupin, Jigen and Goemon. If…

Everyone likes drawing boobies, every nation and a fair cross-section of the whole genderspace from what I've heard. In most European countries and Japan they for the most part don't mind showing them on TV, in comic books, basically anywhere but a billboard (and even that in some places).

They are in the same class as both. It's silly to expect ancient animals like these to fit neatly in the bins biologists have invented for modern ones, especially when there are recent and still-living animals that push the boundaries, but since the modern taxonomy is defined by lines of descent, like a family tree,…

Note: unless you have seven earholes, you do not need seven audio drivers attached to your head. You can maybe justify seven when they are mounted to the walls around you, and you are also one hundred people in a theater. Not otherwise.

A weapons that could spawn with elemental or specialized bayonets would be cool. maybe a special skill for some of the classes that adds a bonus melee attack to a specific subset of weapons, like a bonus buttstock attack with rifles and shottys or a spec-ops-style combo attack if you're using a pistol.

Was already going to buy, but now I'm going to super-buy.

A hot-air envelope has to be about ten times as big to lift the same mass. There are still a few more lifting gasses that they don't seem to have considered. Hydrogen is plentiful and won't put human lives at risk, but the threat of electrical spark is a big deal; methane is largely the same, heavier but cheaper.…

An example of a poorly-implemented wind power scheme is not a rock-solid indictment of the idea of wind power.

Wind speed is not the same as turbine speed. Faster moving air carries more energy. If the turbine's sweep area is constant (diameter), and rated spin speed is the same, you can get more energy if the wind is faster.

I didn't even realize it was a multiplayer game at first, the interactions between me and them were so fluid I thought it was an NPC. They can't go on without you, so if you dick around a bit and take your time it's not such a big deal. if they don't like you, you get reassigned the next level anyway.

This is how it breaks down for me: If they make a game, finish the features they want to include, then send it off for extensive testing and balancing before it ships, that's a good thing. Then, if the underused members of the team need something to do while that part is happening, they can make a DLC pack. If that…
