I'm glad to see an article like this on Kotaku, because as a liberal who is also a gamer and gun owner, I always hate seeing things framed in an us versus them mentality like Christian is pointing out as a problem. I'm continually feeling like I have to be on the defensive as a liberal, Democratic voter that also…

Just wait, it'll wind up purchased by CCP.

It's one thing for a company to feel pressured by a licensee to get a product out the door, but it's another thing entirely for a company to push something out that they know is seriously below expectations and substantively worse than a demo that had been shown to the press and the public.

Rear side windows courtest of a '71 Super Beetle?

Vote: Commodore 1084S. In addition to being manufactured with a high-end Philips tube for sharp and long lasting picture quality, 1084S also supports the popular composite video standard as well as both DIN and 9 pin D-SUB RGB inputs for increased clarity and reduction of signal loss. Add stereo audio support to the…

I felt the same way when I was 25. Now I'm 38 and have a persistent dry eye problem that's had me in various doctor's offices dozens of times in the last three years, and which can probably be traced to the hours per day spent in front of a computer.

As someone with pretty terrible eyesight, and a lack of money to waste on products that feel chintzy and cheap like most of the Gunnars I've ever had my hands on, the best option for me seems like getting yellow tinted prescription glasses and hoping that offers some of the same purported benefits. They arrived this…

The problem is where you get rid of them, and how old they are. I tend to wind up with a lot of things that are borderline "usable but crappy" and know that if I part with them, then I'm on the hook for supporting the accursed things. I'd rather keep them around for parts.

How are we defining "unused"? Ones I've never really touched? About 6. Ones I need to finish rebuilding for some purpose or another? Another 3-5. Ones I rarely use? Another 6.

I'll be the contrarian Q owner here and say that I love the way my 1994 looks with the grille. I get what Infiniti was trying to do with the original models, but unfortunately the front end of the car just looks too bland, too flat with the cloisonne(?) emblem. It would have looked better, at least on US models, if…

The 5870 was the first top-end card I ever bought, and I'm certainly glad that I did. I've been tempted to pick up a second one for around $100, but the problem is power consumption. I'm loathe to find out whether my 720 watt power supply can even handle two of those beasts.

Absolutely. I've been getting the series since it was just a set of minis that came out occasionally, and have found it to be a really solid contribution to the "franchise". Not only do they go right ahead and own the canon from the films, but they even include the video game (complete with player character cameo a…

The AE86 was far from one of Toyota's first "sport cars" since the history of Toyota goes back to making sports cars in the 1960's, but it certainly did make a mark for itself as a highly revered car in the 80's and 90's due to its low price, reliability, and success in drift racing as you mentioned.

I had to vote CP, but not because of the car. Awesome car, crack pipe price. Drop 5 large from the price, and I think the voting would go an entirely different way.

Probably the best scenes to come out of Identity Crisis, which a lot of people really hated.

I have to admit that I've always been a bit fond of this moment, from the classic "Hitman" series. It shows that even Batman, as serious as he can be, isn't above being caught off guard. Sort of.

I've been spending the last three weekends working on that project, myself. Started with my "vintage" machines on the other end of the room, and will be straightening out the main desktop in that shot over the course of this coming week. I almost didn't post the picture because of how cluttered that shot is, but...…

I missed the call, but I would have suggested the CoolerMaster Cosmos series. Yes, they're effing huge, but I have never worked in a case that gave me as much room to work in as my several year old (purchased used) Cosmos 1000. And it's solid and quiet enough that I think it'll last me until the ATX form factor goes…

On one hand, this seems to be a bit of a waste to me since it sounds like the drive might actually have been functional and as a retrocomputing enthusiast, it's sad to see any pieces of old, working tech destroyed.

Yeah, finding servers was a true nightmare last night. And things were filling up so quickly that the first one I put up on my virtual private server was filled with 6 players before I could even watch the intro movie. So I added a second one, passworded it until I got on, then unleashed the hounds. Even without…
