Definitely emphasis on ‘top notch journalism’. It’s a sad state of affairs when comedy news shows do far more to inform and educate people about real world issues than “actual” news shows, which these days amount to little more than manipulative “reality TV”. I’m grateful to have Last Week Tonight With John Oliver as…

Epic: "Valve can't count either. It's an industry standard."
True, though I'm pretty sure less people trnd to die when a ship runs aground in a canal versus a large jet trying to land on rough terrain in the middle of nowhere.
I’d sure rather Tesla have this problem with paint, rather than with something like tires, ignition switches, gas pedals, more tires, fuel tanks, and air bags. Good thing companies like Goodyear, General Motors, Toyota, Bridgestone/Firestone, Ford, and Takata would never introduce literally fatal flaws in such mature…
How odd. I though people used their steering wheel while turning.
If they’re games you’re not interested in or got tired of, those don’t count as backlog unless you’re a reviewer or streamer who needs to play those games for professional reasons. After all, if you’re forcing yourself to play something you don’t want to play simply because you own it, it’s not really a game anymore…

Based on an earlier gameplay trailer, the green portal appears to work as you describe:
How far is the developer going with the demake aspect? Unlike in previous Half-Life games, the player is the one doing the actual fighting. The game is currently tuned as to be playable for someone who is doing their own aiming, dodging, and reloading. Standard single-button reloading takes out a lot of the tension in…
In that case the game probably wouldn’t have gotten made in the first place.
I generally liked the FPS combat of Rage, but everything else was quite underwhelming, especially the last section. In fact, when I was playing Rage, I thought I had reached the midpoint of the game and then suddenly realized “Oh, crap! This is the final level!” The game never really built to anything and just kind of…
Nevermind, fixed original post.
That may be farther relative to the ship size than I had calculated (I forgot that the icon isn’t necessarily to scale), but that doesn’t change the fact that the ship was literally moving sideways for that first 1,800 meters. Container ships aren’t designed for lateral station keeping. There’s also the matter that it…
All too true. At best they’ll just find themselves “unable” to determine the cause. Reminds me of when I read about officer-involved crashes. You can always tell when the officer is at fault, because the reports don’t instantly cast overwhelming blame on the other party.
That’s a valid concern, though in this case they do have customers that paid a combined $265 million so far for third-party titles. If they can throttle back on their payments for exclusives and free games while providing other reasons for customers to stick around, they can ultimately make their revenue exceed their…
The canal pilots work for the company that operates the canal, not for the shipping company. So if the canal pilots screwed up the navigation, they’re acting as an extension of the company that operates the canal, making the company liable for running the ship aground.

The dick pattern proves nothing. The GPS tracks are quite misleading as they only show the position and movement of the ship’s GPS receiver, not the actual positioning of the ship itself. As an example, here’s the direction the ship was actually pointing relative to the GPS track as the shaft of the penis started being…
That depends on the outcome of the investigation.
It doesn’t have to be sustainable. You just have to do it for long enough to get a large number of locked-in users. Then you cut expenses once you’re satisfied with the current userbase.
Keep in mind that Epic doesn’t have to keep doing the same thing for their strategy to pay off. At this point, they’ve given away a lot of games. Anybody who took advantage of that now has a potentially sizable library consisting of several quality games, and if they’ve actually made purchases on the store, then they…
Most companies don’t make their alpha builds publicly available at all, and these days the ones that do actually make their players pay for the “privilege” of being alpha/beta testers. They’re even allowing participants to record/stream gameplay, so people who weren’t selected still get to see the project in its…
