I prefer this over the time the UT2004 level designers hid goatse and tubgirl (do no Google of you don’t know what these are) in the junkyard map.

The true irony of that is cable was initially marketed as ad free because it was subscription supported vs OTA TV which was free but ad supported. Didn’t take them long to realize they could double dip showing ads and charging a monthly fee. One generation later nobody ever questioned it and it was accepted as the…

Crossfire was pretty fun plus if you placed your finger in the right place below the little ramp where the marbles shoot out of you could get them to shoot straight at your friend's face. Good times. 

People always look at me sideways when mention a shower beer. The simplest way to explain it is that it’s like the poor man’s version of relaxing in the hot tub with a beer.

The former deadspin editors launched thier new site Defector last fall and the comment system has been a breath of fresh air. Its got its glitches like anything but it’s largely worked since day one. That site is run off subscriptions and probably with 1/1000000 of the software budget of kinja. I highly recommend…

Amazing to think children have been conceived, birthed and are probably close to entering high school and in that time kinja is still lacking basic functionality like proper notifications, linking and threading. I also can't stand the edits to posts don't show up for some arbitrary time frame probably due to poorly…

Couldn’t foreign simply mean “non-GM” in this context? When doctors tell you there is a foreign object lodged in your anus, it doesn’t always mean it came from Europe.

This was becoming a huge thing in taxis before ironically tech all but killed them off. Last few times I took a cab it would auto play loud as commercials every time you got in. 

I’m not even that paranoid a tech person, like I have minimal concerns with Google assistant, Alexa etc. tracking or maybe listening to me. But I’ll be dammed if I’m strapping an array of cameras to my head, mapping my room and connecting it all to a Facebook account tied to my name. 

Ironically the same people are in favor of Voter ID laws. 

It’s largely because white men aren’t afraid of asian people stealing thier women. They’ll concede Asians are smarter because they still feel superior physically. It’s an easy way to say “see I’m not racist, this race is better than mine” but secretly they’re thinking you may be smarter but I’m bigger. 

St Judes is a wonderful organization and I volunteer to help them run an auction annually. We’ve raised millions of dollars for St Judes and I couldn’t be prouder. St Judes is amazing because they don’t charge families for treatment and they put up the parents in dorms attached to hospital so they can be close to…

Here’s the thing though, I never beat Dark Souls. I got stuck actually in a non-boss area, stopped playing for a few weeks because life got in the way then by the time I tried resuming my skills had deteriorated to the point I couldn’t advance and I never played it again. I still would not change it and I have no…

I appreciate the analogy with book translations. I always hesitate with this topic because it can become toxic quickly so let me be clear I’m by no means a “get gud” gatekeeper and I don’t care if people want to turn on God mode Dark Souls or whatever makes them happy.

Well said, I struggle with this as well. On one hand I’m firmly in the camp of I don’t really care how other people want to enjoy a game it doesn’t bother me if they turn on easy mode or add cheats whatever. On the other hand I’m firmly in the Dark Souls doesn’t need a difficultly slider camp which flies in the face…

I already admitted I was wrong in thinking this site was hosting old NES Roms I didn’t realize they were hosting pirated recent material. I’ve never pirated anything but I have downloaded Roms I used to own on NES back in the day when there was no way to play or purchase NES games ie. GameCube Era circa early 2000s…

It's a civil suit no? I'm pretty sure you don't get a public defender in a civil case. 

Okay okay I should have read more before posting after 4 beers. I thought this was a site hosting old NES Roms which I see now its more than that. I’m wrong on this one. 

Seems a bit harsh, websites aren’t free to run and file hosting is notoriously expensive. It sounds like this was his full time job and he made barely above minimum wage providing a resource many people on this site likely took advantage of. I haven’t read the full lawsuit, but the guy is representing himself so he…

I know much has been written on this but HL: Episode 3 remains the most baffling entertainment story in my life. There are any number of reasons a sequel doesn’t get made and I can’t think of a single one that applies here. The last one was a huge hit and ended on a cliffhanger leaving not a suggestion of a sequel but…
