There are real problems with the game! The first expansion was too thin, and Bungie must be more transparent when farming is artificially restricted in the game, and communicating the road map for the game. There are other issues as well, but they are not as severe or ruinous as the distraught, pearl-clutching…

Nothing wrong with cosmetic-only loot boxes and microtransactions. If you want to pay extra to play dress up then that’s up to you. As long as it does not limit content or gameplay then who cares? Pay-to-win microtransactions are unacceptable, and if that appears in this game then people will rightly trash it.

My understanding is that this is like an early-game Zonia’s Hourglass. Is that correct? It appears to have slowed down the early game even further, which is odd because Rito seemed to be working to reduce game times.

Weird Annoying and Fun Lance Stephenson vs. Joyless Automaton and Uncanny Valley Dwelling Basketball Device Gordon Hayward - who ya got?

If Ezio were not first then there would have been much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the BfD household. As it is, this is a Good List.

This effort to stoke regional fan bases with artificial regional teams is extremely inauthentic, contrived, forced and bad. The team names are very (hashtag)BRANDING, and they are also contrived and bad.

I understand that the driver has to make a judgment call - in this stage alone there were probably too many to easily count - but if your co-driver calls it out as as ‘extreme caution’ and you think a slight lift is acceptable then there is a critical disconnect.

Credit to the driver for acknowledging that his co-driver had flagged it, but I agree: what are you doing ignoring your co-driver? That is dumb as hell.

Some museums offer a day pass with re-entry, so you can go when they open, hit the stuff you want to see first, and then take a break when you overload. Come back later in the day or 90 minutes before close to try a different section, or to revisit something you already looked at earlier. It’s a great way to digest…

This is pure truth to power:

Was Brooks being bought by Berkshire Hathaway part of a leveraged buyout?

Can we get a Phreak / Tyler1 double lifetime ban?

4th gear - This requirement from CES is arbitrary and dumb:

Cyborg’s ‘past with PEDs’ runs right up to however many weeks she has to stay clean in order not to throw a positive after the Holm fight. At this point it is impossible to know if her masculine appearance is the result of an extra x-chromosome, years of steroids, or both. If you are taking stanozolol - especially if…

Can you make a case for owning this car where you never get any inclement weather?

I enjoyed reading this interview very much. Good job doing your homework before you met him, and I hope we see more of this in 2018.

That Eagle Racer looks fantastic in that livery with the gold wheels. All the sponsors listed at the bottom edge of the car is a really nice design element, and would not work on most shapes. Whoever designed that livery deserves an award.

The phrase is “out on a limb”, as if you are climbing a tree and opt to go to a single branch (or limb).

Money can’t buy taste. Nor does it appear to be able to get you someone that can remind you to put in collar stays before you shoot your promotional video for your hideous shirts.
