"...only real drawback is that the scope will lock into a single focal point if the batteries die..."

Why, he even joked about that on the Simpsons.

a lot of his stuff is dumb and ridiculous, but compared to the 'modern' style of shitty squares with swoopy spires on parking pedestals, at least they are different.

Am I the only person in the world who failed to see the appeal of Minecraft and it's insanely time consuming, ugly, pixelated creations?

This is one of my pet peeves. Plain-clothes does not equal undercover. Believe it or not, driving around in a police car with full radio and lights might possibly blow your cover.

I find it interesting in a way, because I'm old enough to have been around when, like porn, video games went from public places to the comfort of home (I had an Atari 2600, and yes, I destroyed the power rod by doing the quick on/off thing, trying to get bastardized versions of the games to play), and have sat on the…

I think you mean SWAG (Stuff We All Get). I'm pretty sure that shwag means cheap weed.

I personally find the human aspect more interesting. I guess I view it as a story about a post-apocalyptic world, as opposed to a story about the apocalypse (which Rick slept through). Zombies are pretty boring in and of themselves.

The closest comparison I have to this in real life is when I met one of the bigger Star Wars fans I've ever met, who had read all of the extended universe stuff, also told me he thought the moon landings and space travel were faked.

If you can't handle people no need to bring innocent kitties into your life.

ok.. imo? this is where it helps to have some real-world life experience beyond the realms of the geek-verse. If the intent of the question was to determine what "ability" your date would want, then certainly in the example shown, the question was answered. i.e. retractable claws. Call it "communicating in context".…

So I've got an idea. What if someone who had a passion for this subject (fair wages and treatment) created an organization that "graded" game companies and publishers based on how they treated their employees (particularly the programmers and artists who pull 90 hour work weeks). It could be kind of like those "Fair…

This ones for you Chappie.

Thank you! I've been so amazed at HOW BAD NetFlix's website and apps are. They have the best catalog, but the website from before they started streaming was better at actually helping you find a movie you wanted to watch. Anything to make it better...

Are these all the things she said?

In static shots with a reasonable amount of light, yes, but capturing movement and with less than optimal lighting a full frame should perform better. I personally don't think these "tests" were useful in determining anything except in basic conditions the cameras perform in similar manners, which anyone who has used…

I saw Andy Zaltzman (John Oliver's partner on The Bugle podcast) do a live set and express his annoyance at Americans mocking the French willingness (or lack thereof) to fight and the old, "If it weren't for the Americans in WWII, you'd be speaking German now."

Of course, the real elephant in the room is that most Americans harbor romantic ideas of revolution, largely exacerbated by the misconception that the US was born of one (the American Revolution was actually a battle of secession; the power structure of the colonies was not changed much by the war), and ignore most of…

But the thing is, most YA dystopia is not interested in the political side of things. It's a metaphor for the arbitrary and repressive nature of being a teenager.
