You evidently have never watched a Hockey Game, or met someone with some form of cross dominance. I change my handedness while I eat, because I’m sufficiently ambidextrous, or perhaps have had to learnt through my seeming ambisinisterness enough, that I can handle both ways with fluidity. It means I can precisely cut…

While in Japan the lowest quality of chop-sticks are still good, the same is not always true in other countries, like, say the US, where they aren’t a dominant utensil. It’s like, it can be very hard in the US to find a good quality knife and fork with weight and balance to them, which seem easier to procure in…

Feel like the total lack of even honourable mention for Dawn of War seems amiss.

The obvious switch-up with cellphones to my mind, is a situation where part of your objective revolves around getting the ability to communicate. For example: You’re on an island housing a former military installation, but which has been abandoned. While the bulk of the equipment is gone, elements of the…

If you’re going to talk about the Batman theme, especially with that picture, I think special mention has to be given to Shirley Walker’s version as used in BTAS. There’s an arguement that, for a significant portion of Batman fans, Shirley Walker’s version is the one that best codifies the Dark Knight. Additional…

Hey man, ain’t you ever heard of the War on Christmas?

Generally speaking, piracy is motivated by unexplained delayed availability (Look at Game of Thrones piracy levels in Australia vs. the US, where, in the former, official release is arbitrarily and significantly later), lack of availability (American movies that aren’t officially released in china, movies that only…

I think Bethesda might have been well served by asking Obsidian to look over their game and give a few thoughts. I think the branching faction nature of Fallout 4 was weaker than New Vegas, and the story pacing less distinct and effective. On the reverse of that, some really good gameplay decisions were made in…

Far Cry, while pretty fun to play, never really stood out to me as anything special. The stories always feel a little thin on the ground. But, I do think that you see, in terms of game spaces, mechanics, visual quality, like the nuts and bolts of game play, that it is a solid, well developed product. AC certainly…

Mama Murphey is insufferable, and makes me hate the minutemen. Additionally, while Bethesda learned from Obsidean’s factions, they missed some of the most vital elements, which is the option to go it alone. I mean, I think having mission paths that give you a chance to convince the major factions to work toward your…

Never mind the mongol hoards, or the wars of Ancient Egypt, or that evidence of the first race motivated wars is 13,000 years old and from the Sahara, or that the oldest evidence of human conflict come from before humans left africa, and thus from before evolutionary pressures caused racial diversification. Never mind…

Dunno, depending on how the republican nomination splits, there is a chance for a Sander’s nomination. Trump has said he’ll run third party, and pretty much all the analyst are at least certain that the RNC would rather light the convention hall on fire than nominate Trump, which means, if they think he’s serious,…

I’ma shit on it because it’s Roland Emmerich, and I refuse to support his movies if he’s going be a whiny sod about Stargate just because someone else took an idea he didn’t capitalize on, re-tooled it a bit, and turned it into the third largest sci-fi television franchise period, after only Doctor Who and Star Trek.…

What pisses me off about the invincibility of children is the fact that, the world is a horrible ugly place some times. Fallout, as much as anything, is supposed to be a parable about the hubris of man, and his destructive tendecies. War is a real thing. For all we may despise it, it happens. And the kids caught in…

I live somewhere with 300 days of sunshine, and about half of those are pretty spartan on the cloud front, so that wallpaper definitely seems ominous to me. Great connection to the Prisoner though. I’ve been rewatching it lately, but that connection didn’t even fire.

Should have demanded to see a steward. The union’s there for a reason.

As another former UPSer, I can totally verify this. I was lucky, in that the shift I was on, and area I was in, had a bunch of old timers who had a good sense of duty to the customer. But management? Couldn’t give a fuck.

Am I the only person remembering the leaked docs that Kotaku themselves posted up, which made it clear that at least notionally, the Protag was a US military Veteran? Like, the guy gives a freaking speech to the VA. And in the Fallout announcement showing at the Bethesda E3 Event, the Protag’s wife explicitly says…

Needs more graphs...

Because EULA require agreement after the exchange of consideration for a good or service, and because it is often difficult to get a refund, and you have no legitimate way to read them before hand, all you have to do is demonstrate that you were unable to get a refund with a reasonable amount of effort, and its…
