It depends on what specifically is going on, but I tend to think of more lighthearted and temporary actions as jokes, with the more complex ones being labeled as pranks. Trolling for me usually comes into play when the action is solely intended to annoy and offend others or incite flaming; the “cruel” trolling you…

If it were a mistake, it would be a basic clerical error. I can see it being within the bounds of reason for a PR person provided with video from their management to simply post it online without enough thought. Certainly, in most people’s jobs, they’ve made small mistakes like that occasionally. Most people’s jobs,…

This seems like an issue of personal assessment. If TB knows himself well enough to admit that he won’t be able to assess the game accurately and neutrally under these conditions, I have a lot of respect for that decision. Everyone is different, and another person under the same conditions might assess themselves…

Twenty-five years?! No way is it taking that long.

Even still, the English voice sounds pretty similar to the Japanese one. The difference might just be in the lack of inflection and tone, but the overall sound is actually fairly close.

I'm using this mouse right now and totally agree that overall it's great. That said – and I'm not at all the first to have these problems – I've encountered some major sensitivity issues with the basic mouse buttons when holding clicks. Clicking and dragging motions only work approximately 70% of the time; the rest of…

I’d say it was about on par with Man at Arms. With the more recent episodes especially, they seem to be going into a greater amount of detail.

One factor about some of the examples given here is simply the difference between words originating from Japanese and words originating from languages other than Japanese.

Maybe like rallycross?

Either that, or spot on for its time (2001). Jhonen is known to be a pretty big gamer, so I'm sure he had a certain amount of informed perspective when came to writing that episode. :-P

Situations like that have already happened before, though not as a direct result from swatting, I don't think. Still, police have executed no-knock warrants (and even ones that were supposed to be regular prior-notification warrants that were still executed without knocking) and been shot as a result. If the person…

What's up?

When running, though, isn't it suggested that you not step your foot down heel-first? I was always told to run on the balls of my feet when sprinting, anyway. It might see more use when walking, but then again most people might not need the boost then.

I'm pretty sure JJtoob's initial thought is generally right: Twitch wants gaming-related content. While the content doesn't have to specifically be gameplay of games themselves, it does, I believe, need to be topically about video games. So, Kyle playing a bunch of existing video game themes seems fine, but if he was…

Watch out – these are only available for . . . the next ten months!

You wouldn't happen to have a 6IV ditto just lying around, would you? :-P

Nope – at least in this case, when you reset the game the Pokemon's stats are re-rolled entirely. So, everything from IVs to Natures has the potential to change. I just tried it myself.

The difference here between web browser ad blockers is that this device overlays an effect on top of the logo, whereas the web browser ad blockers completely remove the advertising elements from a webpage. It's the difference between blurring a billboard in Time Square and completely removing the billboard so one can…

Meet "Brand Killer." It's an alternate reality device that blocks out ads in real time. Now, the device is definitely at an early stage—it's more proof of concept than anything—but the idea is promising, no?
