Be aware that you could play MM in Day of the Tentacle only on the PC version: The Mac version of MM in DotT was always borked. It could very well be that they do something like that again, where the original MM shows up in the PC version of the game without any changes, but they don't put in the cost to get it…

I have a Seasonal Affective Disorder light from Veriluxe on a power timer, and it works wonders for waking up. Same principle. Get your light on a timer, and magic happens.

I've been using the Slim Clip wallet for about 10 years now... getting other wallets, but always coming back. It just holds a lot of stuff, tighly, with great consistency. http://www.walletgear.com/slim-clip-doub…

The rubber strap-based wallets feel a little softer in your pocket, but the elastic breaks down too…

If I'm understanding correctly, the idea is to use magnets as a repulsing layer, similar to how a MagLev works. There would be the inner helmet, and the outer helmet, and a floating layer of air between the two. The force of an impact would be distributed over time, as the outer layer compresses inward to the inner…

Siri is great for:
1. Setting alarms.
2. Letting people know you're late while driving.
3. Telling you the weather and / or time in the morning.
4. Launching streaming news without getting out of bed.

Getting directions via Siri would be basically perfect if it were easy to use Google Maps or Waze. Sadly, Apple's maps…

Other places I've slept:

1. Rental Cars. If you have a rental car, you have a big metal protective shield.
2. 24 hour places with security cameras. The best are Hospitals and Airports, which never kick sleepers out. In a pinch, Bus / Train terminals will do, though they seem to kick out sleepers all the time. Just…

It seems like prequels work for fans who are hugely invested in the series, and nobody else. I was fascinated by Ender's Shadow, but someone less invested in the series would probably find it dull. Sadly, the people who make the films (and media) are heavily invested and probably care about what Edward had been…

The key does look fragile. I wonder if that applies to the lock as well. In practical life, locks can be either picked or drilled. I wonder if there is a tradeoff here, where it's harder to pick than most, but the specialized pathway built in layers would make it easier to drill.

Is there any plan to deal with the new player VS seasoned player skill gap? If it truly is a game of pure skill, any online play for new players will eventually degrade into stepping in and getting headshot repeatedly. How do they bring new players into a pure skill multiplayer experience, when farming new players…

I always thought that controller would be better with an analog stick on the left, and their special trackpad on the right. You really only need one mouse input on most games, for analog looking. But for movement, you need to know your zero-center at all times. That's feedback a stick provides, and a touchpad does…

He may be a great animator, but that doesn't mean he's a great musician. Or a great particle artist. Or a great realtime lighter, or a character rigger, etc. He's already brought in voice actors, another martial artist, etc. There are a lot of creative aspects to a film, and one person can't do them all.

I keep feeling like Megan Fox is getting pidgeonholed as a bad actress because she's a very attractive woman and stars in the godawful transformers movies. The story of the "beautiful but empty" starlet is a hard stereotype to overcome. Scarlett Johansson has overcome it with some recent meaty roles (in giant…

As someone whose rear area is usually floor-to-ceiling boxes, I'd love this. Mount the camera on the roof for a little more rearward visibility, maybe add digital processing so that bright car lights at night don't blow out the entire view, and it could be great.

Put those and the side-view mirrors in the instrument…

Build a children's playpark, a soccer field, and a Starbucks at the opening.

I really like the Sinclair ZX edition, as it seems aware of the sprite-based limitations of the system it is on. The rest are a simple color pulldown, but in a way that would A: never render on the related systems, and B: would never be done in that way on those systems. Minecraft, for example, could be fabulous on…

The 3D Connexion Space Navigator is actually a remarkably good piece of kit, with the drawback of a complete lack of software support. Microsoft needs to create an abstracted interface for 3d controls, similar to the abstracted 2D joystick control that allows for modern gaming.

If Nintendo wanted to get back out in front of their rivals, they'd create a legal pathway for Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros mods on consoles. The success of Project M proves there is a market, and right now the Wii-U could really use a hardcore engaged market.

To be fair, that writing *is* godawful. Someone more experienced specifically in voice acting could have pulled more out of it. But man those lines are just clunky from beginning to end.

Most games are being made to be compatible with Xbox 360 and Laptop level hardware. This means even entry level desktops are actually quite powerful enough at the moment to handle most games, while the games coming soon targeted at Xbox One and PS4 will require a bigger hardware bump. If you're upgrading for games,…

Unfortunately, that's probably exactly what will happen: giant tanker trucks carrying water from other regions. There is only one river feeding LA, and thatis already maxed. Short of a long term, concerted effort by many major organizations in a way that would make The Big Dig look trivial, the problem will only get…
