I could have been the character of that egg story if you consider the details mangled a bit. Last year I was in South Lake Tahoe(which is a casino town not unlike Atlantic City, although it’s the whole way across the continent) and I went to IHOP with my brother, not my girlfriend. I also was 31, not 25 at the moment,…

A guy with Ukranian name based in Dubai working for an American company. Can it get more globalized than that?

Fun thing about fads: being ‘successful’, being commercially viable and sticking around don’t really correlate. See motion control : people loved it, Wii made billions, now it’s gone. 3D TVs - nobody cared about it, but it’s in every home now, unless you take special care to get a non-3D TV, like those weirdos a…

If you knew anything about software development, you’d taken this with a grain of salt. First, what about bugs they did not see? Second, if programmers immediately jump on every random bug they encounter, how are they supposed to accomplish anything?

How did you manage to have Matt killed? For me he was off the screen after the tower collapsed, appeared in the final chapter to run through a couple of easy qte that didn’t kill him even if you failed some, and he wasn’t even in the lodge when the explosion went not as planned (it did for me, too).

So if it’s corporate policy, how exactly does it make my experience any less annoying? There’s one shop that’s particularly obnoxious about it but unfortunately it’s the only place that sells the brand of shampoo I use. So every time I need a new bottle I come in, grab it. come up to the register and I’m like ‘GOD…

Now I’m on my office PC and I totally see your point. Why doesnt’ ‘A’ have it’s lateral slash? It looks like Cyrillic ‘Л’ in some typefaces.

Haven’t seen it on phone or PC but on iPad this looks totally ace. Also - and more importantly - the comment form feels faster. Used to cripple both my tablet(latest model) and office PC, only felt smooth enough on the 8-core with 16 gb when comments are in the hundreds.

I remember when I had preordered and prepaid Arkham Asylum (or City?) for 360 and came to the store only to find out they were out of 360 copies and only had ps3 ones. I had both consoles but my wife wouldn’t touch playstation and she’s way more into Batman than I am so I didn’t want ps3 version. The clerk was…

A decade later I have no idea why was everyone(me included) so pissed to play as Raiden instead of Snake. The game was amazing, the character was interesting. What’s not to like.

Now this is totally out of the blue:

Do you think they should charge less for movies under 90 minutes long then, compared to 120+ minute ones? Why should entertainment value be scaled to time?

Logically I can see that youtube letsplayers are in no way more of a ‘colossal waste of time and human potential’ than video games themselves. And the games are long past that kind of reproach even if there’s something valid about it. So it doesn’t make sense to label youtube gaming as stupid and gaming on your own as…

OK, thank you. I almost overcame the ‘Online’ in the title because people were saying it’s a pretty decent JRPG but then I opened PS Store page for the game...and it said something about MMORPG and I closed it. Guess I’ll buy it sooner or later because I’m almost out of Japanese stuff and Yakuza5/Persona 5 seem to be…

Is hollow fragment a VN?

I know american tipping customs are different because the waiters get less than minimum wage. But this being the worst customer ever? I think at least every other restaurant visitor in Europe would leave no tip if he had to wait more than he was ready to. And some of them may be annoyed enough to write something about…

I think I’m missing something in the double chocolate chip Starbucks story. Why was the dude raging? What ruined his trip? If it was the ‘ruined’ drink, why was the author of the story to blame? There being no reason at all seems like a dull point.

I don’t understand why people would be entitled to a refund for a movie at all, but in case there’s some reason to allow refunds that’s a bullshit(sorry, pool shift) policy. Like if there is a particular scene that can be very offensive to some people as to make them stand up and leave, it can happen at any point of…

Wait, what’s wrong with 300?

Since the price is in dollars(also, since you can get any drink at all in Starbucks for $3) that must be in the US; however here in Russia you don’t have a minimum - you can ask for a card with any purchase, even if it’s the smallest scone that’s under a dollar at current exchange rate. They also send you birthday…
