The individual states may or may not have the power to seize property as well, but here the feds were agitated that the WTC had run an illegal gambling enterprise under federal law. The federal law, in turn, defines “illegal gambling” as any gambling done in violation of the law of the state where the enterprise is…

Was really hoping to get an in-depth look at how Tony Stark cheated his way to becoming a billionaire. Bummer.

One dude on Facebook was losing his tits because this movie is “social engineering” and it lured him in with DUDE STUFF like cars and explosions and if it does really well at the box office, it will mean more movies about strong women.

SOCIAL ENGINEERING.

CHARLIZE THERON HAS MENSTRUATED ALL OVER MY MASCULINITY.

Easy. Because the Stig is known but to handful of people. A development program for a car takes THOUSANDS of people, working for years behind a non-disclosure curtain. Oh, and his identity was famously leaked, by the Stig himself.

The absolute best thing I like about Jalopnik is that you guys don’t blow smoke up manufacturer’s asses. You play it straight. Far too often do I read reviews elsewhere and it is little more than the press release with some additional fluff from the media outlet.
Leaks happen, and those places get asked to take them…

Okay. Here’s the first thing. I don’t support publishing internal documents they way you did — these are not the Pentagon papers, which would have never seen the light of day had it not been for reporters. Instead, you helped deflate GM’s carefully timed and choreographed big party — which they spent serious $ on, for…

They kicked you out entirely?

No worries, bro, relatively humidity of under 70% can create weird burbling around the rear deck and mess with the downforce, plus I bet this one had the 24mm rear swaybar and not the beefier 27mm version, plus tire pressure over 30psi and the GoPro blocking your peripheral vision and bad flashbacks from Virginia and…

Seriously man, since 9/11 in the U.S. then the crash of 2006 the American worker was forced to do more with less. Companies got used to the low-cost and high-output of a worker scared to lose their job. Now that we are riding an economic crest, the employers are reluctant to invest more in personnel.

It is funny how management just pulls a date outta their ass and tries to "drive" the team to meet it rather than do an actual estimate of the remaining work and get the developer's input on how long it will take.

All of this crunch stuff reaks of a complete misunderstanding of project phases, skilled labor and basic planning skills.

I worked in the game industry (for the ill-fated THQ no less) and I can attest that everything in this article is true. Everyone that isn’t c-level management is pressured into working 12+ hours days for months on end, all for substandard pay and a pink slip when the product ships. Is there a worse word for…

One person who worked on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim—one of the most acclaimed games of the last generation—said the last few months of development were a total mess:

IMO, the problem lies in the law. Used to be, there were only a handful of professions exempt from overtime pay. As the years went on, corporations lobbied for more and more professions to be made exempt, and the government’s been all-to-happy to oblige them. Just because you are salary does not automatically make you…

Except that the Witcher books are well written with smart dialogue, deep and complex characters, a smattering of social commentary, and are set in an unapologetic, unforgiving, brutal political and social climate that—were it not for the fantastical beasties—would be all but indistinguishable from Medieval Europe.

When pressed for comment, the mayor retreated to her bridge where she belched fireballs and threw hammers at anyone who tried to save the princess.

This is the Witcher based on the Book the Witcher, based on the Character Geralt in The Witcher, if you weren’t playing as Geralt, then it wouldn’t have been called The Witcher.

Just a bit of a correction... Geralt’s actually one of the younger Witchers around. Witchers have a known lifespan of centuries assuming nothing kills them. Geralt is anything but “aging” at this point in the series; he could live for hundreds of years more. His white hair is incidental from his transformation into a…
