I always felt like the base Palladium system was not bad compared to the other systems around when it was created, but it’s aged poorly. And the addition of Mega Damage in Robotech, and carried over to Rifts with no changes for the different sense of scale, broke the hell out of it badly. It speaks poorly of Kevin…

The difference being that in most of those cases, they’re at least paying the taxes involved in funding that beneficial thing. This woman can’t even say that much.

Actually, the NHL does have a revenue sharing program in place beyond expansion fees. The Oilers used it as a reason to cry poor when they went with their hat out to the Edmonton city council looking for an arena, claiming that paying into it was preventing them from being profitable. It’s also why the NHLPA has been…

People thought Florida, Phoenix and LA would be big draws due to the number of snowbirds in those areas, but the Panthers and Coyotes have been money pits and the Kings’ attendance, aside from the recent bandwagon and the Gretzky years, has mostly been bad. Basically, don’t count on out-of-towners to carry a team’s…

That trenchcoat is so “90’s comics” it’s hilarious. These shorts have been pretty decent tho.

Yes! We need it on Vita! But it’s not listed there so who cares about this.

Then Maggie laughed. She’s such a little trooper!

“That, to me, is not only a better story, but it’s also a more difficult story to tell.”

I’ve thought for a while now that DC should just forego continuity completely and go full into “superheroes as myth”. Like the way there would be stories about ancient gods, but the stories would be contradictory or the timeline for what happened when wouldn’t gel but it doesn’t matter because these are tales about…

The bigger problem for Atom SoC’s right now is the GPU. Mobile x86 SoC’s are competitive with ARM on the CPU side but the graphics hardware still lags behind. That may be less of an issue for Nintendo though, who will probably put together something custom rather than just use whatever off the shelf SoC Intel has to…

This. People are so weirdly attached to specific stories and worlds and never want that to end, or even change really, no matter how contrived it gets. Let these stories end, enjoy their endings. Then enjoy the beginning of something new.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who felt that way about City. I liked it, but it seemed like, in trying to out-do Asylum, the game lost a significant amount of focus. It wound up being more repetitive, less interesting, and kind of boring by the halfway point. There was more game in City without there actually being…

The problem with this now is the sites moving to HTML5 video. I made Flash click-to-play on Chrome, but now YouTube (for example) just auto loads the HTML5 version and autoplays the video anyway.

So what you’re saying is I should pay money to streaming sites AND a VPN provider just to do something that’s questionably legal at best and definitely a violation of those sites’ Terms of Service because “torrenting is unnecessary”?

I was going to post this myself. Of course an American thinks there’s no need for a site like EZTV. Do those savages outside the US borders even have TV?

When your NES dies, it will take every NES ever made along with it? As well as hardware clones and any emulator capable of running NES games? You better take damn good care of that thing man. There are a lot of people depending on it.

I’m not sure why you’re struggling with this. Different jurisdictions have different laws. If you can’t comply with the laws in the jurisdiction you’re visiting then don’t go there. You don’t have some special legal right to a custom car that supercedes various provincial or state laws.

I dunno man, by the 100th time Joker escapes from Arkham, you might consider it a personal failure of the “world’s greatest detective” to not anticipate it happening again.

His car wasn’t impounded, it was towed back to Ontario. They have jurisdiction to do this because he was driving in Quebec, not Ontario, and so he’s subject to the laws of the place he’s in, not where he’s from.
