It very well may be that the lousy UI is affecting this, particularly for people who are on the fence and might not really care unless it’s presented to them. But I don’t think the “previous Halos let you customize your color” argument is particularly fair, given that this one does too. You start with 10 color options…

Right? Kinda weird that the week 2 armor colorway is (a) mostly gray and (b) of so limited use. 

You can disagree all you want but I think you’re missing his key point: there’s publicly available data on this. I’m not sure where he took his data from (Possibly XBL), but as of right now on Steam, only 58.2% of Steam players have gotten the achivement for “Change your Spartan’s look in the customize menu.” That…

scratch that comment

With these changes, you’re going to see people complaining about the lack of rewards content in a couple of months after people have capped the battlepass too fast. 

I suspect part of the confusion is that they censored the line. It’s Kanye West’s “Monster” which is playing over the monster battles. It’s a little on the nose to say the least but if you’re not familiar with the song you’re confused when they bleep out “everybody knows I’m a motherfucking monster.” That line SHOULD…

The non-standard home row means those “customization options” literally just means shelling out $50 for their very expensive PBT keycap upgrade. Between that and the fact that my K95 died out of nowhere 18 months after buying it (no spills, no nothing) and I’d recommend against

I honestly can’t believe how many of this kind of question (not just in this column, but everywhere) are about being in a restaurant and asking if you still have to tip for whatever reason. The answer is always yes, and it should be. The vast majority of the population works jobs where they still get paid even if they…

I had this experience when I lived overseas and was surrounded by Chinese tourists somewhat constantly. That word JUMPS out at you when you don’t understand the language being spoken at all. 

I’ve been cold smoking cream cheese for years... it would never have occurred to me that it could stand up to a hot smoke

Respectfully, might I suggest two things:

I tried TKL for the better mouse ergonomics and I just can’t live without my number pad. I’m sad they used that lovely 1800-style arrow key layout... and didn’t pair it with a condensed number pad (basically I’m waiting for the inevitable GMMK96% which I will preorder).

For onlookers, this might seem like another ploy for attention

You’re not wrong that a Weber Kettle will go the distance without much maintenance, but you might be surprised how damn good that thing will look again if you do give it a thorough deep cleaning and scraping. That porcelain coating inside and out comes realllllll clean if you take the time. You can shine those…

If you own a slow n sear already the snake method offers little to no advantage. The only substantial upside is that by its nature, the snake rotates the direction the heat is coming from so you don’t have to rotate your grate as much, but since you should be rotating your lid to keep a cross-draw going as the snake…

But a pork butt costs like no more than $15 in most parts of the country, is almost impossible to ruin (how do you even do it? with that much fat it’s incredibly forgiving to temperature swings), and gives you pounds and pounds of delicious pulled pork which is so infinitely superior to cooked cabbage I can’t even.

In other words, Facebook has provided ample examples to back up the old adage, “If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.” Even in this specific case, there are enough requirements and asterisks to suggest that Facebook isn’t actually offering most creators all that much. This, then, appears to be a…

WILLING TO SACRIFICE OUR LOVE

Well you just became the most dangerous person on the Takeout

Sometimes I wish developers would just be honest.
