A couple of my friends went to DigiPen back in 1995 when they were still in Vancouver. I popped in there every now and then (risking my life in that elevator that felt like it was banging along the walls all the way up) and I think there was only 1 girl there as well. From my memory, only one guy had a crush on her…

I've been working through the AC games on PC this past year and when I got to AC3, it started running like crap when I set foot into Boston. After some research, I managed to tweak the ini file to get it to run smoothly but still with the game stupidly chewing up one CPU core and only using 70% of my GPU.

All of Marvel's mutants belong to Fox in the movies. The twins here will have different origins likely secret experiments as indicated in one of the recent Marvel movie post credit scenes.

1080p native resolution is important to me because I'm using a 1080p display. Games that are not 1080p, I find look "crunchy" and odd, sometimes even eye-straining.

I'm in Vancouver and I'm glad I got my Sahara Unlimited a couple of years ago. Love the thing and was able to get it reasonably loaded for $10000 under MSRP. The same build now would have costed me an extra $16000 or so.

The 800 series was really notebook-only. The 900 series has been out since early September...

I've been holding off getting it on 360/PS3 waiting for the PC one for the "prettier" version since I've moved a lot of my gaming onto PC now.

I guess he wanted to ignore the fact that the Enterprise NX-01 has photon torpedoes when they went into the Expanse to hunt for Xindi.

Plenty of cities like that. Take Vancouver. The average detached home here is $1 million. Bungalows, you'd be lucky to find one for $650,000. Luxury homes start at over $2 million.

I use to have fun with scammers like this. They stop responding after a while after a few e-mails. I guess sending them a few pennies would prolong the fun for a few more days.

Many douchebags flipped and set fire to Car2Go Smart Cars during the Vancouver Stanley Cup riots in 2011.

It's supposedly owned by this guy.

Don't worry about NFC. Apple will be ramming iBeacon and all its unsolicited advertising at your local mall down your throat soon enough.

I'm in Canada. I've never used a smartphone based NFC way to pay but have regularly used credit card NFC way to pay for a couple of years now. I think I've only had it not work once or twice.

He doesn't know how to use one. Years of touch screen keyboards have made it so.

I had one on my old car for the longest time but since it was all black, you couldn't even tell it was a dealer frame.

Adapters that function the same way has been around for modders for a while now.

Love the wackiness of his designs.
