Nah, this is sure to get blocked.

She's getting replaced by Google.

Awe, you’re just as adorable as Paltrow! I mean, I can only remember maybe three academy award winners right now, but I’m sure the film adaptations of comics that have been around since the last 20's will have been just totally forgotten by everyone in five years. I mean, geeks never get overly involved in detail, so…

That’s a big “if” though. A reasonable VR PC is probably 1-2 grand, a top end one 3-7 grand. That’s a lot to add on to the cost of the headset. Or you can jump in for $400 plus the cost of a few games, taking it from the cost of a sports car rig to the price of a compact commuter consul. That makes "trying VR" a lot…

Unless you get the wireless communication pack for the HTC Vive. I mean, you still are sort of tethered, but not by a wire.

On the one hand, great point, here’s your star. On the other hand, how much do any of us actually play arcade games? If VR “dies” the same way arcade games kinda did, it would still be kinda sad.

I’m not a Tesla fanboy or an Oculus fanboy for that matter, but yeah, I see a lot of VR is dead and EV’s are dead comments that seem to run pretty counter to the evidence. New tech like these have problems and aren’t for everyone (my VR system sees a lot less use than my Switch because of what the kids can play) but a…

I dunno. So few people play Hearthstone (pretty well documented failure) that this isn’t going to his a wide audience, and also it just wasn’t funny. Super complicated for less of a punchline than Nerf Now.

Then, um, don't read them?

Um, so if some jerk just parks their car there, it’s different?

It's "Risk" for me. I can loose 7/8 games of Hearts and still have fun, but even if I am doing okay at Risk, I am probably just barely not punching someone in the face. 

Google is making speech recognition device local, which is pretty awesome. It by no means makes me think Google is done surveiling me, but it’s still something

I both totally agree and also think Alexa is probably small potatoes here. If you are upset by this, then the targets are more prediction algorithms that guide your next click. It means just separating your life from Google, Facebook, Amazon and probably Valve, Epic, Samsung, LG, HTC, Vizio, Sony, Microsoft, and…

My mom is the sort of person who happily let a garden spider hang out in our bathroom window for over two months, but she once unfolded a blanket with a wolf spider in it and she was out. She let that thing find it’s own way out of the door she left open behind her the way she tells its.

And, frankly, you could summarize the avengers movies + civil war as having “the Avengers are monsters” as the overarching plot. Tony is a “former” weapons dealer, The Hulk is a literal monster, Captain America puts his friend over national security, Thor is a self rightious failure who led his people to ruin and then…

First, I would say that Prof. Hulk seems like the prime candidate to rebuild the avengers initiative. Honestly, I don’t even know who else would. All the other available (aka living and qualifiedcandidates are either too private, too young, or have other pressing matters to attend to. Banner was always central to the…

Nope. There's probably a month of after effects that and tuning that will have to start over. 

In fact, I suspect consumers would prefer they took their time with the retrofit. Nobody was urgently asking for a Sonic the Hedgehog movie, and now that we got a peak at one, we may need some time to forget. 

I think there's a touch of comment on how you can do funny stuff when there's no "friendly fire" like bring down a hammer on someone's head and have it destroy the mat they are on but not hurt them, which is an amusing feature of other games too.

Having just “finished” the switch demo...
