Battletech has like 200 ‘mechs in it, almost any permutation of giant combat robot that makes even remote sense is going to look like one of them.

Plus, you can just write a check to the production company for the hosts real show and they'll shoot the segment on their set with their cameras and crew, for ultimate verisimilitude.

I remember there was a blog I used to read, something like “Suspension of Disbelief”, and it was all about the issues with real-life things translated into the unreal worlds of comic books. So one author was a lawyer and would critique things out of Daredevil or She-Hulk about the specifics of trial procedure, and…

Disney needs to build some executive suites at Disneyland that are a reasonably scaled reproduction of the Millennium Falcon with an integrated private cockpit sim and maybe some turret stations.

“2-D side-scrolling game set on an interconnected or continuous map with areas unlocked by character upgrades” is more than five syllables. That being said I do like that we didn’t call all platformers Marionics. Or I guess since Sonic came late they’d need to be Marialexkidds?

Double-jumping is this really perfect example of the compromises needed to make movement fun and responsive when jumping is on a button press. Jumping on a button press means that it has to be immediate and responsive. Every other solution to having a controllable jumping power, length of press, charging before…

This is going to sound flippant but I guarantee it’s from a sincere place: vegetables are a social construct.

Has Volkwagen said anything about the towing capacity of the ID Buzz? Asking for 60,000 friends.

I loved this game but I could never finish Canned Heat as Chieftain and unlock the cheerleaders.

RIP Monty Oum.

With the whole detail of introducing snow to GTA, in the modern gaming landscape there’s a smaller number of bigger open worlds being made but as a guy who grew up in the northern US I wish there was an open-world driving action game that made functioning in the snow central to its concept. We didn’t get it when…

I’m picturing a DLC for Arkham Knight where you could freeroam as Catwoman or one of the Robins, and the Batmobile is replaced with a motorbike.

I don’t know if anyone ever thought of combining superhuman strength, agility and endurance with a BMX, but that seems like it’d be a cool combo. Like if Peter Parker was from the Netherlands, nothing to swing from but he can bike at like a couple hundred kph. Or I guess if Saitama was also Mumen Rider.

You never forget your first encounter with a Warframe boss. You drop into a random pub group that's been farming it all day, and run like mad to get there in time to actually see it before the others kill it.

Don’t forget there’s usually one last reduction in the differential. So even at 1:1 on the transmission the final ratio is probably between 2.5 and 4 to 1.

It’s not really about what it’s rendering, it’s about what is loaded into texture RAM. No game renders anything outside of what the camera can see. What the next-gen storage is supposed to make better is how quickly data can move from storage to RAM when it’s called for, meaning that the division between storage and…

Not too difficult to recycle the model as a HotS mount, assuming that game is still getting content.

I can literally picture this coming up as a real scene from a Clone Wars episode, either Anakin subtly tricking a B1 into opening a door or a savvy B1 opening the door so the Jedi will become someone else's problem.

You sure shat on the Bolt’s internal layout pretty hard. “Why did the people who make cars make their car like it was a car?” All the fluids, the fuse panel, the 12V battery, the windshield washer fill, all easy to get to without ripping out the carpet. The only weirdness is that the master fuse for the 400V battery…

I know it’s somewere. Look between the sacred silence and sleep.
