I didn’t even realize they released anything other than the BR game. I was so busy at the time of release that I didn’t even know it had dropped until a few years later and was disappointed it looked nothing like what the trailer gave me an impression of.
Which is to say, I have no idea what I was expecting, but the…

The STIs always have issues because people buy them to hoon the shit out of them. Which is fair, but rough treatment is still rough treatment.

The head gasket issue was largely due to a single layer steel gasket with a carbon seal that would wear away with any exposure to oil. The XT’s and such employed a multilayer…

The head gasket issue plagued them and I think it still does. The Turbo’s never had an issue in general due to an upgraded dual layer gasket, but the regular models got a single layer coated gasket that oil would eventually wear through.
Other than that, there was a persistent issue with timing belts going bad around…

The Forester issue surprises me. Not that the Forester is on this list, I’d have expected something like a head gasket or timing belt (though, this is the xt, which uses a better dual layer head gasket than the regular forester). Newer models went back to the timing chain starting in 2011, thankfully. I got my ‘98…

It is of my honest opinion that Netflix had Little intention of a second season and only released this one to try and recover the costs of production. Their decision was made far too quick.

Jet was one of my problems with the show. His voice was too damn gruff. In some scenes it totally worked, but in others you can hear him forcing the voice like a bad Spanish accent. Like my guy, watch the anime. His voice isn’t always so gruff. Though often gloomy seeming, Jet was generally pretty charismatic and…

This doesn’t surprise me. I’d also not be surprised if this was just selective. and likely to not affect many others. I make embroidered patches for a lot of cosplayers and sell them on Etsy or privately (mostly privately now). Naruto Clan/ village logos for cosplayer outfits were something that was requested by a lot…

Literally everything you said boils down to “Well just don’t review things.” There’s literally no monetary value being taken away from Toei or it’s animators in any way or sense. If anything, it entices people to actually seek out and watch the show in it’s entirety. 

On top of that, they seemed to have been okay with…

There’s a difference. I do not need a car with a cell connection or any connection to a server, for that matter. Nor do I want one. If I need cell service in a car, that’s why my phone is for. Full stop. I always tend to embrace new technology, but this is not one I’m willing to embrace.
As OP said, I’ll happily drive…

It  doesn’t matter at all what the drag was, the impact of the car hitting the trailer should have signaled something in the driver. 

not disagreeing with you, but there are quite a few dings and rust spots on the body when you look closely. There’s a streak of rust on the side of the rear even. The condition of the metal would really depend on how it was stored to begin with and how bad the barn it was in, was. 

I like to think of it as more of the “def” edition. Because the devs were not listening to god damned no one. 

Why? 

Indeed, it’d be nice if they were entirely open about it. Something tells me that they might be playing the waiting game. Just holding out until the fervor settles down. 

I believe when they bought Double Fine, the game had been crowdfunded with backers promised a play station release.
It’s possible the backlash that Shenmue III faced when they cut the promised Steam version from the release influenced the decision to keep Psychonauts’ promised platforms.

There is no crowdfunding…

Your writing will be missed here. I don’t think there’s a bad writer here, but your articles always stood out to me. Good luck on your future endeavors. 

It doesn’t matter if it moves a ton of Xboxes, what matters is if it get’s it’s money on development back. Developing for one console versus two or three is much cheaper than doing all three. By the time it releases, there will likely be 10s of millions of Xboxes out there as well as an untold number of PC players…

I don’t see how anybody would think this would go any other way. The only reason why Minecraft didn’t go exclusive was because it was already on the console with millions of players giving money in the form of DLC.

This isn’t any difference than when Microsoft bought Rare. Like did anybody expect future Rare games to…

I wasn’t too hot on the new Supra, but I dig the new Integra. Now if only I could get a new “Tokyo Extreme Racer” to race them in.

That’s because they are bad and the developers should feel bad
