    It’s bad because it doesn’t work at scale (i.e., a physically large, spread-out country with entirely different infrastructure and socio-economic needs than small European ones), and doesn’t account for basic human drives (i.e., the desire to have more for yourself and your children). Socialism has only been…

    The Phoenix LTX sets were great, but everyone forgets about the Lazer Tag “Augmented Reality” version from just a few years ago (LTAR) that was also Nerf-branded. Like this new set, the LTAR version ALSO tried some kind of phone/app tie-in, but it never caught-on. A comparison with this updated system would be…

    Here’s the thing... as emissions laws draw a tighter noose on refrigerants, they force manufacturers to use new blends that are inherently less efficient. These refrigerants are “safer” for the environment if they leak (i.e., during maintenance or disposal), but in actual operation, they don’t do as well at the…

    LOL... this is precisely how capitalism works. They try what they want to try, and it either it works or it doesn’t (you subscribe or you don’t). Others are free to likewise try to win your dollar. The result... crap dies, as long as enough people agree that it’s crap. 

    I used to think it was a little hyperbolic when conservatives would say liberals don’t have a sense of humor.

    DirecTV Now Pros: Still the best channel line-up for the price, especially if you add HBO for just $5 more (the others cost at least $15).

    Counterpoint: Wrong.

    Stef, I have a ‘17 GTI with the “Soundaktor,” and it’s not pleasant—it actually makes panels rattle, and that’s worse than being fake. I’m going to either remove it entirely (weight savings!) or have the dealer just turn it off in the OBD.

    Somebody already said “Centurions,” so I’ll give this lost gem a shout:

    Ab-so-friggin-lutely Centurions! They could MCU the crap out of this idea and sell a buttload of toys. I loved the cartoon, the toys, all of it. Make it happen!

    It’s a Jeep wave in the sense that when most people think “Jeep,” they think “CJ/Wrangler.” Once you understand that, it doesn’t feel so bad to be left out.

    Jason, you are SO... not wrong.

    No. No. No. No. WRONG.

    Let’s be real for a moment: there are a lot of terms/phrases that are losing their meaning (and their value) because they’re being applied to anything that upsets someone. It’s unfortunate, because the things that are TRULY worthy of those descriptors are then made less capable of being called-out as such.

    “I still couldn’t make out exactly when [sic] the faux Jim Delos was saying to Bernard at the end.”

    Movies Anywhere is the best solution, and should have been mentioned in the first paragraph. Sign-up is easy, it works on every major platform, you get a bundle of free movies for signing up, and it negates all the shenanigans of maintaining different accounts.

    The federal government killing autonomous cars? I almost love my government again. Almost.

    This is just dumb. Or, rather, people are dumb.

    So, I’ve been a NeoGeo fan for years... I’ve had a NeoGeo AES, a NeoGeo Pocket Color, a 4-player “big red” NeoGeo arcade cabinet, and even a Hyper64 motherboard (which could be played in the cab). So, I’m quite familiar with all things NeoGeo.
