I’m sure some combination of Halo lore nerds and gravitational mechanics experts will be happy to correct me, but I always figured the trademark floaty controls for the Warthog were due to the low gravity of the Halos that you’re driving on.

I just want to point out that you can reach the game’s official site via the url mechamericagreatagain.com. Congratulations to Devolver Digital for making the only “Make X Great Again” joke that I have ever found to be funny.

Important to note that choosing sex would also seriously limit your ability to travel. You’re basically limited to road trips (that avoid even minor cities) and very small airports. Intercontinental travel is largely out of the question.

I have been to an onsen where my tattoo-toting foreigner friend was denied entry. In 2016, so not too long ago. They explicitly had a sign at the entrance, in English, saying that foreigners were not exempt.

My old roommate had a Super Nintendo hooked up to our TV, and I gotta tell you, it felt downright futuristic to be able to turn on the console and be playing a game within literal seconds. If you dare to not play your PS4 for a week, you’re looking at thirty minutes of OS and game updates before you can play.

These explainer articles are great, keep ‘em coming!

I deactivated my Facebook last week. I figure I will go a month without, and if I don’t miss it, I’ll try and go through the arduous process of more permanently deleting it.

The road is very well lit. The video Uber released that made it appear incredibly dark was a misleading smear-job.

With the amount of cops that are in motorcycle groups or clubs, I’d say there’s a non-negligible chance that someone off-duty was in that group and friends with the thief. Just something to consider for why the police may have seemed disinterested in helping...

For any respectable dog adoption charity, especially in a state like Texas where dog fighting is rampant and overpopulation is a severe issue, this is absolutely the case. My dad runs a fairly large one in Houston and pretty much every bad review they have on Yelp/Google (they have a 4* rating so basically 20% of…

Yeah, I have read and enjoyed many a Dead Letter compilation, and I gotta say, these were mostly pleasant! Very few personal attacks, no death threats, not a lot of misspellings or poor grammar, and some people even acknowledged that Barry has already owned up to being wrong!

I agree with you partially, but I just don’t think something great can be tarnished by a middling or bad follow up. I still enjoy the original trilogy even though I dislike every Star Wars movie that has come after it.

Looks like someone didn’t get the memo that Zelda is actually the boy.

If you’re a world class speedrunner at one of the more popular speedrunning games you can make a living from Twitch streaming. Otherwise it’s probably something you’re doing in your spare time.

I’ve always scoffed at people that only drink bottled water, but I’m seriously starting to think that I should do the same.

Since Kinja won’t let me edit my comment, let me get ahead of folks and say I realize now the opposing players would be in water under the bridge, and thus unable to attack each other.

The other two must have been under the bridge he was on. And since they weren’t trying to kill each other, and he’s playing solos, they had to have been teaming, right? In which case, he likely won because he didn’t have to share the center of the vanishing circle with another player, and the other players started…

It’s surprising and disappointing that M2K didn’t get an invite. He’s the one Smash player who’s been truly elite at every Smash game since Melee.

You didn’t go to Case Western, did you? I’m sure these trees are on college campuses all across the country, but I distinctly remember there being an entire damn grove of them directly outside the library’s front entrance, and how I had to hold my breath every day when I walked past them in the Spring.

Good lord that last paragraph is so true and so, so depressing.
