I have never played HL2 and I picked it up just a few days ago. Kind of excited.

That was my experience too. The game was... ok? But the narrative and the characters are great. The game is a masterpiece, but not for its gameplay. I turned difficulty all the way down and just enjoyed the story. Did the same with the (equally rote, but fun story-wise) Uncharted series.

“We are trying to develop a bat porn box, which will be like an aquarium with cameras everywhere,” said Fasel.

I don’t know that it’s a “cool classic”, but a NP? Sure.

I agree. Had this been some Apple vaporware, I'd have said scalpers got it made. For Sony, some will make money, but a lot will not.

But the loser has to fall...

Prized possession of an older couple, taken over by a grandson, who dipped the wheels black and installed a stupid subwoofer - and probably treated the car like a racer. Lots of work by the dealer - probably while the elderly couple was in possession still. And... the ultimate no-no, a broken odometer. Despite the…

Same here, though content has become somewhat less over the years. Jezebel, on the other hand, was a toxic echo chamber, which devolved further over time.

The documentary already exists. XPDNC posted it above :)

But what if Airforce One had an emergency and the President was egg-dropped exactly onto that island? What then? Hm?

Oh my God. I never thought of it that way.

Poser car + Florida. Deduct 5k immediately. I'm on the fence, still.

I use the service daily...

It’s still a very expensive paperweight.

Any 2.5-year old who can hold his breath till he's blue in the face and has no bladder control.

That sucks. I mean Jezebel has been a weird echo chamber filled with garbage on fire for a while now, but I enjoy Giz (and Jalopnik and Kotaku). I looked forward to Linda Codega’s articles, even if we often disagreed.

Wow. I hope you don't mean that. If you do, you're a monster. Maybe edit.

It is. It is a direct call to kill Jews and eradicate the State of Israel. I would not repeat that slogan anymore than I would wear a swastika.

You are taking it too far. The people of Palestine are not blameless, but that doesn’t mean they deserve to be slaughtered. Israel has been oppressing and killing Palestinians. That doesn’t mean that Jewish people should be slaughtered.
