So I have to ask, is it the g-forces or the risk of death that makes auto racing a sport? Because to me that’s the closest analogue to esports that’s unambiguously considered a sport by the general public, and the only thing that separates auto racing (NASCAR or Formula whatever don’t @ me Europe) from Overwatch is…

I’ve also heard (secondhand from a Tumblr post so grain of salt) that a lot of black anime fandom in the early stages can be traced to economics of local TV programming. Lots of smaller local tv stations catered to black audiences in cities but they ran on shoestring budgets, if they wanted kids cartoons to fill the…

The worst is dVa, not the bomb (that can’t be interrupted) but the calldown for a new meka. Especially if it’s the free one you get when you’re rezed or use your self-destruct. With any luck the person who interrupted the calldown will then kill you instead of leaving you alive to either plink at his team with the…

Now I’m glad I didn’t get it on PC all those times, this belongs on my portable joy machine.

I liked this a lot. Switching protags from Rusty to Dorothy was a good move, since it means there’s a justification for needing to go through another round of leveling and upgrades. I also really like the progression system as a whole, how the whole ecosystem of artifacts, ore, cash, cogs and xp feed into each other…

It had loot boxes already! The good kind! The kind you find in game for free!

The questions are impossible. The real test is to spot and cheat off the hidden upperclassmen in your midst with the answer keys without getting caught. I saw literally an episode of Naruto.

Lo mein casserole. Which is probably a kind of a dairy-free vegetable lasagna now I think of it.

Truth. But let’s bee fair he could very well have asscrack hair, Nintendo has seen fit not to answer that question.

That’s kinda the point. It’s not the kind of hate symbol designed to intimidate the hated outgroup, it’s an ingroup signifier for the haters that “normies” don’t readily pick up on. Like all those numbers neo-nazis use, 18 and 88. I remember a few years ago Target’s style-watchers noticed the numbers in use on clothes…

“Hello, R and D? Can you build a power management system for my EV that makes it underperform under certain conditions? Spare no expense! Thanks!”

I rolled up to my office about ten minutes to totality and the day had a gloom about it like it was a minute to sunset. Some people were having a go with some eclipse glasses or a few pinhole viewers but the one I threw together that morning was the best of the lot. It made an image about the size of a pencil. All it…

Wrap it up, people. Unless you want to get...

(don’t click through to the comments on that video.)

My go-to joke about my home state is that it was created to breed frost-resistant hillbillies for an invasion of Canada.

Sleeping Dogs is my favorite GTA-alike, edging out Saint’s Row. It is criminal to me that this team has gone bust and I’m hoping someone else gives us a martial-arts carstealybangbang title that’s a worthy successor in the future.

I like how we’ve all managed to ignore the Arabic writing because we’re too fixated on Spongebob. Or is there a significant demo of Arabic-speaking cartoon loving rednecks I’ve yet to encounter that this clever marketer is targeting?

That’s how it was under MiiVerse, including an elaborate penis detection algorithm that kinda worked, I’m sure you can find articles about it under the WiiU coverage tags, it’s worth the read.

No, it’s programmed into the game directly via a mailbox in the plaza. You access it, draw your entry, and then it has to be approved by Nintendo before others can see it. You don’t need a stylus necessarily, the game has a pixel art tool that uses the stick and buttons to draw etch-a-sketch style. The photo-real ones…

Motocross. All of that plus occasional flying and no safety cage.
