Lets extend this to sports teams, too. The last two stadiums our City built cost the taxpayers more than the teams building them, and all the future profits got to the teams and businesses. For the record, neither of these teams are or have been good historically.

BRAVO!!!

In my experience - more recently, at least -people have these binary opinions of stuff. I think A lot of it is related to the idea of a 5 Star Rating like Amazon or Uber. Everyone wants to assign a constant value to things, and make them either a 5 Star Pedestal, or a 1 Star Villain. And like the article states, this…

Why, after seeing these uniforms, am I suddenly hungry for McDonalds?

No, no, no. You misunderstand. Respawn to me is pretty much the culmination of all things I hold dear about gaming. I want them to be an EXCEPTION to the EA rule of becoming garbage. I want them to continue to make original games with controls that are like having the console plugged into my head. I want amazing maps,…

“full of sound and fury signifying nothing”

I kept reading waiting for it to circle back, to question whether “is joke racism okay?” or “are internet vigilantes bad?” or “are young people that make foolish choices self-accountable?” (they fucking should be) and yet I never got that (though admittedly I was glazed over…

I look at this as the shadow of what’s to become of Respawn. Every time I am passionate about the games and methods of a developer, they manage a successful game, and get bought by a big publisher, and -more times than not- everything goes to shit. DICE may be the only example I can think of that continues to make…

I think innovation goes hand in hand with quality of life. So while we’ve come up with cool stuff recently like Uber, Alexa, and DNA kits, we’re not doing much in the way of finding better ways to get people clean water, cure cancer, or feed people. So sure, maybe we’re innovating circles around other countries, but…

We need to stop trying to prevent this type of thing: Tide Pod Challenges, Ironing Shirts While Wearing, YouTube ClickBait Pepper Eating or whatever it is this week.

There’s a specific reason that this planet is beginning to look more and more like that movie Idiocracy. We keep extending the lives of morons. If someone…

Any travel at all in HZD was an absolute chore. Each new mission was 100 miles away. I don’t think I ever made it out of the second area I hated the travel so much. My friends told me to use Fast Travel and some item that gave you unlimited, but you still had to reach the map points to open fast travel. No thanks.

Holy shit. What timeline are you from, and what is our mission? Clearly you are me from a parallel universe, because I have met exactly zero people that disliked both of these games, and was certain I was the only person.
Now, where should we rendezvous to execute Operation RatingsBomb?

probably 100 hours, but I beat it to 100% and then played the Tier 1 system until it made me play the highest difficulty level which was the definition of unfun (Tier 35, maybe?). PS. the game looks amazing in XBX enhanced mode.

It’s funny to see so many people that have a compulsion similar to yours. It actually surprised me, but it shouldn’t. I have a friend who has scores of unopened DVDs (yeah, THAT long of a backlog) Blu-Rays, and Xbox games.

My problem isn’t playing games I own. It’s finishing them. I bought AC:O when it came out and…

Anyone that thinks the Saints are one of the teams benefitting from the NFL’s favoritism have never watched a Saints game, much less the one versus the Vikings. Let’s not forget Bountygate, something the team was accused of but never proven and it cost them an entire season.

Now look at the times the Patriots have…

Re: Hurtin’ in NC, I’m actually glad this appears to be in NC because I know someone like this. He and the GF seem to be good together, almost to the point of being too comfortable about their relationship in public. It’s ironically a very high school way to act when out in a group. They lounge over each other, paw at…

So Brian - Off topic: How come some posts, like this one, don’t have headlines on the main page? It’s just an image and a partial paragraph with bold text that isn’t a hyperlink. I’ve seen this occasionally over the years and it’s always bothered me.

The other phrase that needs to die is:
“That just isn’t who I am”
Like when people say “I know I punched that other guy in the face, and that’s just not who I am.”
But it is. It’s EXACTLY who you are. What you do when things get difficult defines who you are. You can tell yourself all day that you’re just a mild…

This argument is irrelevant. The decision is in the past and none of us can change it. This article is talking about being prepared for the future, and this discussion does nothing to contribute to it.

I’ll be interested to see what happens with these lawsuits. A class action is generally only beneficial to the lawyers, and I’m uncertain how much blame Intel is liable for when the flaw isn’t dependent on just one aspect of computing.

That has got to be the worst photo ever taken of Farrah Fawcett. She looks awful.
