Starting auction now for body parts I don’t need. One kidney up for sale now, start the bidding people.

Then you clearly aren’t the target audience for a brand focused on safety. Brands can’t try to connect with everyone or they will connect with no one. They know their niche and focus on it.

You never thought that someone might crash into you? The safety features would work just as well if it wasn’t your fault.

Fantastic article. Two nitpicks...

Subaru is now basically what Volvo used to be. Selling solid wagons on the basis of family safety.

I think this an extraordinarily written summary of the brand, and I loved how you charted its progress via something as unique as the advertising. Mid-2000s Volvos do really make you shake your head and wonder where their vintage pragmatic ethos went to, and it’s fascinating how you tied that in to their Ford-induced…

Exactly, anyone could make this mistake.

I repeatedly kept reading Thomas Whistlecock. I must be tired.

It’s the thing I absolutely hate the most about car culture. How righteous people get about driving safety and skill is mind-boggling. Everyone makes mistakes, and most people don’t contain their exuberant driving to strictly tracks, but when you get on a car forum of any pretty much any kind, everyone is a perfect…

“you look like you’ve fallen over in the playground”

Nintendo always values their SNES games at more than the NES ones, and it DOES come with 2 controllers instead of 1...

I love Grim Fandango. It has amazing story and music. But seriously: F*** the betting stubs puzzle in Year 2.

There is only one puzzle in the world that is worse: the Hexipal puzzle in Broken Age. Both almost killed the game for me.

So, I’ve played Grim Fandango and I wholly disagree. It’s easily top of the list for me (that said I agree with literally every other point on the list).

There’s also Arms which looks like it could be interesting in June, there’s also a sonic game planned for this year, then looking into 2018 there’s Dragons Quest and Fire emblem.

And it’s never going to have non-Nintendo AAA games outside of maybe some RPGs, but it will allow Nintendo to pool all of its games onto one system, and it will be a great way to play indie games. Essentially, it will realize the ambitions of both the Wii U and Vita in one system.

There are details in a Singer that 99% of the people who see one would never even notice.

You could probably build something close for around $100-125K. The major difference would be when you get within 10 feet of it. You can go over a Singer with a damn microscope and be astounded by the details. When you start getting into the fine details, that’s where the slippery-slope gets VERY steep.

I thought some people considered grim fandango one of the best games of all time. Let alone Adventure games.
