@Kasse: Hey, lugging a Barret .50 cal through the desert is pretty punishing.

I've got an Atari plug-n-play TV box that has Gravitar included in it. Game is amazing, especially for the time. And hard as hell, too.

@Arryma: It was maintained for use in lighter-than-air craft by the defense department. You know, reconnaissance balloons and potentially zeppelins and such. Ironically, not long after they decided that sort of thing was now outmoded and opened up the strategic reserve, people started designing great big autonomous…

This is why syllable-based writing systems are the way to go. They could take a lesson from the Japanese- ditch the kanji for every day use and go with something like hiragana or katakana. Unique characters for every word and concept is... rough, especially from a technological perspective.

@Verathis: Yeah, gotta agree with -MasterDex- on this one. They're not blaming the game for the murder, they're just trying to establish a link between the game and the murder. Yeah. Big difference, thanks for the heads up guys.

@Skunky: Also, the repeated and merciless hits to the head during dogeball clearly left him with minor brain damage.

@Ryguy226: God, I forgot how cheesy his voice acting was. Its probably a good thing he didn't talk more.

I'm rather amused by the idea that some schlub in their legal department trademarked "Jedi Knight" but forgot to trademark just plain "Jedi". Whoops.

@SkipErnst: I know I expect guys working retail jobs at $10/hour to be total AV experts.

@matt_mcmhn: I find this comment ironic considering the fact that for a very long time most gaming occurred on computer monitors at much higher resolutions than any commercially available TV.

@catsmasher: My brain is mostly filled with sex, violence, memes, reams of trivia, and product awareness. I turned out just fine.

@YosefLevi: ... yeah, that's what I meant. I certainly didn't mean "fit" in the sense of "physically fit".

You know, most biologists/paleontologists I've heard talk about the subject are already pretty quick to point out that its survival of the fittest, not survival of the strongest, and that there can be a very large difference between the two.

@tetracycloide: Also, its a matter of context. To run a small powercell for a 3rd world fun, the urea output of a single farmer or the farmer's family would probably be sufficient. But when you're talking about industrial fertilizer production, you're talking about literally *millions* of tons of the stuff that needs…

@GIGAR: Agreed, it was quite competent from an engineering and gameplay perspective, and the time mechanic was cool. Its only real crime was being a bit too generic.

@Rybones2112: I more see Kanye as being the "insert" key.

@HowIsYourFlat: On the other hand, it had pretty thoroughly used all its tricks by the time you passed the last puzzle. Would you really have wanted it to drag on for another 5 hours, using the same tricks and repetitive puzzles over and over?

@moonshadowkati: A number of nanomaterials tend to be toxic, carcinogens, or otherwise dangerous when people are directly exposed to them in their raw form, since their small size allows them to infiltrate tissues and biological processes pretty effectively, where they can cause physical damage or gum up your body's…

God dammit. That's not exactly high-res video, so why is performance on those players so bad!? The machine I'm looking at this on ain't great, I know, but if Youtube, Netflix, and Hulu can play fine on it, should a dinky embedded player really slow my browser to a crawl and play at .25 frames a second? Talk about a…

@fastactingrelief: I think you need to elaborate on that though. Kid 2 has no friends because he says shit like that and everyone stares at him like a freak and keeps their distance. Kid 1 just gets punched in the face for being a dork who brags about his toothpaste.
