My wife’s close friend is a doctor, and his gynecological rotation was, by his own account, a nightmare. It’s not an erotic context, and generally women only show up when they absolutely have to, so you’re either mechanically doing the same thing over and over again, or you get to learn just how long a human being…

For side missions like uplink and encounters like viral data collections, don’t press the button until you’ve scouted the whole area. Picking off the enemies before you have to platform makes these missions a lot easier.

As a lifelong pedestrian, I see everybody (drivers, motorcyclists, bicyclists, fellow pedestrians) do stupid shit constantly. Recently, after a snowstorm, I saw a guy who’d only half-cleaned his windshield (as in, the pedestrian side had a huge pile of snow on it) driving while talking on his phone with one hand.

Part of the issue is, I think, those board games are relatively easy to adapt, and thus cheap, and thus popular.

Yeah, I find them useful for precisely that reason.

I’ve said this elsewhere, but is there any particular reason they couldn’t just drum Trump out of the party? Primaries aren’t legally binding. They’ve got plenty of basis to argue Trump is unqualified to run, and they’ve been pounding the nail that he does not represent the GOP pretty hard. Why not just pull the…

Yeah, not that it matters to Nintendo since they sell everything at a profit, but...

Xbox 360 sales three years after release: 14.8 million

Man, Microsoft just needs to do nothing but compare the Xbox One to the Xbox 360. The XBO has bulldozed its predecessor in every possible metric. Yeah, Microsoft is technically #2 in the race, but in this situation, it’s like being the second guy to find a gold mine.

They don’t care. At all. It’s telling that for all of Apple’s fad chasing they couldn’t care less about VR, frankly.

It does, but another thread King is exploring is what drives a rational person to do irrational things. King really doesn’t make any bones about it: The Omega Men are terrorists. And King doesn’t justify their actions, but he does make it clear why they think these actions are acceptable.

It’s kind of amazing this series not only got published, but wasn’t routed to Vertigo. It’s been excellent so far, and an interesting companion piece to “The Sheriff of Babylon”, his Vertigo series.

I can see it being a problem in the sense that streamlining PC and XBO development must be severely tempting to multiplatform devs. That said, though, MS is also trying to streamline porting to their consoles, soooo

One touch I liked were the bonfires, little micro-outposts that are strategically important but not a full-fledged base, and the fact that they need different strategy and tools.

Because it was inoffensive family viewing. You might as well ask why Disney Channel sitcoms are so popular.

I suspect the whole reason Fox backed this show was somebody just wanted to make a TV show where the main character was a complete, hilarious shit to everybody.

Well, he’s sucking Trump’s metaphorical cocktail weenie to be Veep, so I’m guessing he’d make that literal.

Innaritu is an even bigger dickhead than you think. He started out as a DJ and an adman in Mexico, made a fortune, and basically took up filmmaking as a hobby. So all this stuff he’s saying? MARKETING PAP.

I honestly don’t think the FF being spiked was a movie-driven decision. The book’s sales just were not there.

Crystal is instructive: Who’s she’s had sex with is more important to her role in the MCU than her royalty or her powers. I read a whole bunch of old-school FF over and over again and realized I had no idea what her powers were supposed to be, recently.
