Then you choose which stats to pump up: Strength, Constitution, Intelligence, Reflexes, Tech, and, uh, Cool. (This appears to be unironic.)

North America (the continent) indeed contains Mexico, but also all the countries down to (but excluding) Colombia; there is no Central America (continent).

This whole “use energy to play the game, then wait hours to refill energy” system is the very reason I’m afraid to download mobile games. This is one of the worst design choices I’ve ever encountered, and if there isn’t a way to buy infinite energy (you know, like a “buy the full game” option), then I completely skip…

I first began noticing this issue with games (or with my eyes?) with Assassin’s Creed Origins. I had to resort to playing that game not on my couch but on the floor between the TV and the coffee table. I even keep a pillow nearby to lean against.

I’d say the photographer, or, if they have enough money to hire someone, a location scout.

What do the asterisks mean? I can’t find a footnote explaining them.

This is the very definition of a slippery slope fallacy. Just because we institute stronger background checks, or closing gun show loopholes, or other common sense measures, doesn’t mean it will inevitably lead to a situation in which all guns are banned. In football, just because I’ve advanced four yards doesn’t mean…

I have two tables in my apartment: a dining table and a coffee table. The dining table is off on the edge of the large common area, and the coffee table sits between my sofa and TV. The dining table is pretty much reserved for entertaining guests. As a television-obsessed bachelor, nearly all of my activities happen…

Should the texture artists and character modelers be working on the network code? I think that would be a pretty bad idea.

Did he put the period outside the quotation marks as well?

I was thinking the same thing. Sure, I bought my 980 Ti before the 10XX series was announced, but isn’t it more powerful than even the 1060?

Azerbaijan is most certainly not landlocked. It borders the Caspian Sea (but not the Persian Gulf).

I’m playing as Lohse. I hit about 50% of dialogue skill checks. Besides, she’s awesome to have in a conversation. My favorite origin character, personality-wise, with Fane a somewhat close second.

There are usually PAX Enforcers (staff) checking badges even at the non-convention center locations.

I was SO EXCITED to read this! ... until I got to the part about Relic Entertainment. Company of Heroes and Age of Empires II and III are my favorite RTSs, so you’d think it would be an awesome combination, but Relic has come a long way since Company of Heroes. And I don’t mean that in a good way. I haven’t enjoyed a…

See: World of Warcraft.

Is this in Odaiba? I remember there was a shopping mall was some crazy escalators in Odaiba.

IncredibleBirdMan said it: Offering items that “speed things along” mean that NOT buying them will likely make it a slow grind, an unnecessary “feature” in a single player game that would do nothing but frustrate me.

This was going to be a day-one purchase for me... before I learned about this. I might actually skip it entirely now.

I remember there was a small shrine in the hills of Kamakura, south of Tokyo, where you could put in a couple hundred yen in a box and smash a small plate. I never saw that at any other shrine.
