I'll never forget the day I came home from school to find out my grandfather had bought me an NES. I'm pretty sure the first console game I ever played was The Legend of Zelda. I was pretty young and had no idea that naming your file Zelda actually made the game harder. I've got really fond memories of my dad and I…

His first wife literally wrote articles about it. He literally told her that he wasn’t going to change, and if she didn’t like it, she could leave.

My favorite part about this ridiculous saga is that they still live together. Imagine the passive-aggressive bullshit both of them indulge in. I have no idea what they’ll do about their living arrangement when he moves to Austin, but I hope for their child’s sake they’ll go their separate ways. 

I’ll be dead in the cold ground before I recognize non-Galilean moons!

Anyone who didn’t think Elon’s first love would always be his work, reeeeally wasn’t paying attention.  The man’s a flashing set of hazard lights.

And to be fair, they did as much as they could. Upgrading the existing servers and extending queues, and such, but there’s a limit to what they can do with just the current equipment.

Worth noting they also did try to prepare for this, they tried to buy more servers above their actual value but they just couldn’t get more than they did.

I know that games like this are often criticized, and deservedly so, for things like long server queues.  I’m willing to give some benefit of the doubt that the FFXIV team did not expect as many people as they did, as the growth of FFXIV’s user base has been so incredible this past year.  And giving free game time is…

Between his skit content and boardgame content he hits what I want from videos in a wide variety of ways.

Gross. As someone who spent years as a design and brand integrity director, this is just a petty power flex by Take Two. This would have no impact on their business or the strength of their brand. There is just someone at that company who thinks they have an axe to grind against anything that sounds even remotely…

I guess they were grumpy that Activision kept getting all the bad headlines and decided to start waging completely insane legal challenges that will cost tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars, garner bad will, and absolutely go against them because their claims are stupid.

Don’t even get me started on this. In Canada, a “family sized” box of cereal is smaller than ever. Basically smaller than what even a normal sized box used to be 10 years ago. Everything is getting smaller and more expensive.

In many cases they also use better types of sugar instead of America’s go-to: high fructose corn syrup.

You know how in some prison movies there is a prisoner who basically rules the prison from inside it? That’s Kojima in horny jail.

Are you American? I’ve heard many Americans say chocolate snacks from many countries (eg Japan, England, and to a lesser degree Australia, NZ etc) taste better than American versions. Something about the main ingredients, particularly the oils used, amount of cocoa solids and amount of sugar.

Back when Consumerist was still under the Gawker umbrella they called this the Grocery Store Shrink Ray. The worst part is that the companies know they are screwing over customers, they are just trying to do it in the least noticeable way possible.

So *that’s* why I could never get past that part

Apparently you haven’t played too many Kojima games.

It would be incredible! If they actually build this for street use (maybe with a suspension) I will bake, serve, and eat some humble pie. I will also eat a shoe, because I don’t see that happening

Yeah, but how cool would a street-legal electric single-seater in the vein of a BAC Mono be? Especially if it came from a company like Nissan?
