Manta rays. I would have said sharks, but after a year of diving in the Pacific islands I really did get used to sharks (although who knows if you ever get used to the bigger sharks). But Manta Rays continue to be freaky and huge and Lovecraftian (they’ve got fucking face tentacles that serve no combat purpose but…

So the linked listing is now at $19.99. I know that’s common and these things happen, but what’s not common is Amazon showing me a “similar” item that appears to be identical and actually $17.99. Still Prime eligible.

I am completely with Midwife Crisis on this one (both in take and as a lifelong progressive who is disgusted at Schilling’s bigotry). As a Red Sox fan and as a sports fan and frankly as a 30 for 30 fan, this “edited for time” is absurd and impossible to believe. The Bloody Sock is either the most or second most famous…

The demise of what my friends and I used to call “delicious gun games” has always baffled me. Never got CLOSE to the same rush out of a modern FPS as I did out of light gun play.

How the hell do you not have more stars. I’m only a vaguely casual MMA fan so I don’t know these things... but that’s such a key insight if it’s (as I assume) accurate.

So, totally random question that last bit just brought up for me. Feminism is, I think, a bit easier to talk about because it has a word. It’s a hotly debated word and an often misunderstood word, but at least there’s a word for it. Is there a similar word for... again, for lack of a better word,…

I’m not sure if I would do it for this reason given that even on the low end you’re looking at ~$160 (I think around the best price the Anova has been on sale for). What I will tell you though is that, if you like cooking at ALL, an immersion circulator makes a number of things both possible and easy that are barely…

Many members of my family have the onion/garlic digestive issue in varying degrees, and everything you’ve said is true. My mother basically risks getting sick any time she eats a sauce of any kind at a restaurant, because servers often refuse to take it seriously and mediocre kitchens don’t use anything but the most…

Eggo waffles are delicious yet an entirely different animal. It’s basically like deciding between your two favorite candy bars. Can’t go wrong, but variety is nice.

I wouldn’t underestimate massive’s problems with this game. The Division is a concept I really, really want to enjoy. The story is fun, the gameplay is engaging, the loot collection style is one I like. The problem is that there isn’t just one problem: there are mountains of them. The loot distribution was and…

But that’s not an exception, and it is why the game is broken. It’s a social/team/matchmaking game, and nearly everyone you matchmake with is either grossly overpowered from exploit abuse or, worse, expecting everyone else to do so. People are getting kicked from groups for not being fully exploit geared, the DZ is a…

Lack of a console is literally the only reason I don’t play destiny. Baffling and depressing that there isn’t a PC version. Looks like a game that took some revisions to really find its stride, but appears to be in very good shape now.

I’m actually not sure I’ve ever seen a picture of Nicki Minaj in something White House appropriate. I am also not sure how I would google this.

It remains my mic-drop presidential dream that Obama issue mass pardons for hundreds of thousands of non-violent low quantity drug offenders on his last day in office.

And then she tragically ended her one-day reign in third place, despite putting up $32,000.

That’s a rhetorical question, right? You know they don’t.

Considering most ads pay a lot more for clickthroughs than for views, yes, I suspect they’d do exactly that because a gaming ad is more likely to resonate with somebody already reading a gaming site. It’s called “targeted advertising” and it’s basically how Google took over most of the internet.

I couldn’t disagree with you more. Not on the facts (you’re right about the pet, obviously) but on the conclusion. As a person who has played WoW off and on for over eight of its 11 years, it’s a joy for me to read. The vast majority of people who know I play the game don’t understand what I like about it. I’m not…

Nope, definitely learned the word “concussion” the day we all tried to jump straight to the fourth bar...

Honestly, how much does Lodge pay you to keep pumping their crap? They make awful, unpolished cast iron coated in a disgusting waxy finish that you can’t season properly unless you strip it before you use it. Anyone with a kitchen should own a good cast iron skillet, and you’ll never get one of those from Lodge.
