And the dealership's job is to get between the manufacturer and the buyer and take money from both parties. What's your point?

But more accurately, your source of revenue is getting in between the parties, but what you provide in exchange for that revenue is supposed to be a benefit to one side or the other, often…

I got some good ones for cheap at MyCableMart. They really only do cables but they have basically everything, and their base 6ft HDMIs are $6.29.

Start wearing suit jackets, they're fantastic and look sharp. Once jacket weather comes around the wallet, the phone and the 3DS go right back in the pockets and my pants become encumbrance-free. Just don't wear them with jeans, cause you look like a hipster or Jeremy Clarkson. Zip-up fleece for the days off. If I…

An SSD conserves battery life by reducing the amount of time it takes you to finish your tasks and close the lid again. Running the display, processor, cooling fans and wifi take as much power per second as they ever did, but if you are done sooner you save energy.

I keep waiting for the zombie craze to be over, but no matter how many times we try to kill it there it is, back again and in greater numbers.

I guess this all comes down to the way video games work. Shooting is a mechanism that games can really execute well, so it's easier to design a game's survival challenges around…

I never could either, until I found the right ones. Big ol watery beefsteaks off a boat from south america? Vile. The little tiny grape-sized ones, in season and straight from the farmer's market? Awesome.

I say this as a guy who likes Sly a lot... you're correct. Rocket is marginally better.

He's already gotten so far his character jitters around a bit. Minecraft coordinates are stored in a floating point variable, and he's so far from the world origin the imprecision is starting to show. I can only imagine how unstable it'd be at the actual far lands.

If it worked that way, it wouldn't simulate a sphere, it'd simulate a torus (a world shaped like a donut.) In order to make the flat map work like a sphere, the east and west would need to wrap around as you propose, but walking over the north or south pole would need to teleport you to another spot on the same…

I think that if you've reached the point where you need the cordage to survive you've already committed to reweaving it when you get back to civilization.

Dragging the right side works on my Nexus 7 but not my GNex, I had assumed it was a tablet-only (or at least screen-size-above-X) thing.

Internet pledge drives work great when it's possible to donate small fixed amounts of money from big groups of people. This kind of charity drive where you pledge per lap is foolish. It's basically saying "Pledge an amount of money somewhere between 'a pittance' and 'more-than-you-can-afford' as determined by a random…

I find it more than a little funny that the person shooting the video had a hard time leaving the Pinterest room.

I was trying to be as positive as possible. It was entirely likely, given this is Kotaku, that they hadn't mentioned the PC release when you wrote the comment and then edited the post to correct the mistake.

Good news! It is!

What I like is the Olga's Kitchen Greek Fries. Spiced curly fries with feta and tzatziki sauce. I'm not sure how far that chain has spread from Michigan, but I'd be shocked if there wasn't something similar at some Greek-run Coney Islands or diner-type places.

He's got a point, in that there are a lot of other strategy board games from a lot of other places that aren't as globally ubiquitous and long-unchanged as chess. Though I still crack a smile at the scene in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood when Suleman the great surprises his uncle with an en-passant capture, which he…

I know right? They were explicitly looking for evidence of water, but were completely unprepared to drive in the snow if they found any.

There's a jet mode and a hover mode, but no robot mode. Bit like Warhawk, but the speed is nuts and there are no ground targets.
