Literally all I could think at the beginning and end were “Damn that’s a lot of nostalgia piano.” Thanks Kotaku.

This is the first time I’ve ever had a Youtube clip be blocked for US watchers on copyright grounds... god this feels weird.

Man your NPCs are super nice to poor people. I would make it so every NPC avoids making eye contact with you but you can tell they are staring at you judgmentally when you aren’t looking directly at them. Furthermore all NPCs avoid talking to you and deliberately go out of their way to avoid interacting with you. Then…

As an Iranian-American, I think it’s great that people are learning more about the 1979 revolution. My parents were college students at the time and I heard stories about the Shah’s secret police breaking into people’s homes and arresting them/making them disappear just for owning Marxist literature. It was a…

I in particular would love to hear the Ken Burns style narrations of rank and file soldiers’ “personal attachments”. I imagine it would go something like this:

The surprise assault on the Imperium sector was at 3 AM local time for DoomSlayer89. He reached out to his best friend and co-worker “Mikey” in preparation via…

Like I said earlier they work pretty well at killing bacteria, but I personally think for minor cuts it’s kinda overkill.

No I understand that. I just really don’t like people pretending that hydrogen peroxide is going to mess up healing when no one actually has real evidence for it. A much better argument is that it actually doesn’t kill a lot of the bacteria anyways, so if it’s a minor cut it really doesn’t matter if you use it. Just…

A couple of things: First of all there has been really no evidence that hydrogen peroxide slows down wound healing (here’s my review source, individual citations can be found there: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/45…), because at 3% it just isn’t strong enough to harm human epithelial cells. Because we actually…

In the defense of the New Vegas mod scene, it would be highly inappropriate for Biggie to be involved unless the mod also came with a chance of Pac showing up and shooting him and you as well for being a whack-ass thug.

Yes I know what a devkit is. I’m just saying I really doubt that The Division is showing up on the NX, because even Black Ops 3 with its legacy X360 and PS3 releases didn’t get onto the Wii U. Nintendo clearly doesn’t want to compete in the Western Shooter space seeing as the last Wii U Shooter excluding Splatoon…

So if that’s actually true, why would Massive Entertainment even have a test controller? None of their games have ever made it to a Nintendo console, and I’m just surprised Ubisoft would give a test controller to that studio. If it was Ubisoft Montreal maybe I’d buy this a lot more...

They really missed an easy naming opportunity there.

...I don’t know what you are talking about. People loveeeeed Chrono Cross. The only thing people love more than Chrono Cross is Chrono Cross Music.

I mean:

As a grad student I understand this. I just have piles on piles of piles of papers.I know exactly where every paper is when I need it however, and I only organize it all after I’m done with a project and want to archive the materials for the future.

Actually no. It’s probably the ultra hardline clerics led by Ahmad Jannati (who runs this weird theocratic Judiciary-Legislative hybrid known as the Guardian Council) and the IRGC. They are being as aggressive as possible without directly tanking the nuclear deal, because the reality is Khamenei is going to die pretty…

This is heavily a show by Iranians for Iranians more than anything else. The hardline-IRGC axis of Iranian politics (who Ahmadinejad was the attack dog for) has been in steady decline and has been reeling ever since the nuclear deal happened. The Assembly of Experts election at the end of last month was devastating…

“Civ would always try and boast that its culture and diplomacy allowed people to pursue non-military paths to success, but in practice those claims always rung a little hollow. The game’s systems were skewed so heavily towards the production of units and the capture of territory that simply talking your way out of…

Exactly. You avoid the internet if you know there is a major sporting event you can’t see but want to see it later. I did it all the time with World Cup games.

There’s Eron Gjoni, author of the relationship screed against Zoe Quinn that kicked off GamerGate, saying that “attempting to get people fired for holding problematic views is exactly the sort of thing you’re supposed to be against.”

I know who gave her this brilliant idea:
