Nissan’s dealers are killing the company. I had a 2004 Xterra which was a great, bare-bones vehicle. Owned some other cars in between, and in 2018 put Nissan on the list of cars to look at with my wife. The dealers we visited were so smarmy that my wife was categorically turned off by them. (I didn’t love the vehicle o

‘Plucky engineers’ is what I’d call Brian May and his dad making the Red Special guitar out of a fireplace...

More like, it’s a unique challenge that provides intriguing content for his YouTube channel. He knows what he’s doing.

Kyle has to be laughing at being called a “plucky engineer”. I guess considering some of the other projects he’s done (2001 Odyssey body on wrecked Model S Plaid chassis; turbo-charged shopping cart; jet powered razor scooter), that might be accurate.

Dude just needs to rewind and he’ll get that 1000xp sign.

We’re on Jalopnik, we all know how easy it is to get a shitbox up to 80 on a back road lmao

I just discovered this a few minutes ago, I’ll provide some independent verification. While this does bother me, as they said, many sites that chose not to follow the law still work just fine. Our dipshit Virginia governor had an easy road to his office because the Democrats in this state chose to push Terry McAuliffe

There’s a Youtube video (that I think might be from John Teti, formerly of AVClub/Gameological) about how Drew being shoehorned into the Bob Barker role early on did him no favors and was very awkward and did not play to his strengths at all, and that it wasn’t until they revamped TPIR into “Drew’s show” instead of

I attended a taping back in 2012 (sadly didn’t get called up but I got on TV a bunch and they played Plinko!) and it was not just great fun but Drew was a terrific host. Instead of hopping off somewhere during segment breaks, he would stay on set and do Q&A with audience members.

I’m very happy with how far Drew Carey has come as the host.  When he first started out, he was so emotionless and felt like he didn’t want to be there at all, like it was just for a paycheck.  But somewhere down the line since then, he changed it up a lot.  Now he looks genuinely happy and like he’s having a great

THE.

Why didn’t they get him a sling?

The thing that makes it so annoying is we’d gladly pay for a lot of these things. But they refuse to let us.

Wait what?! I didn’t realize it was gone but wondered why there hadn’t been any new videos for a few weeks. That’s one of my favorite recurring video series on YouTube so I’m really glad Chris Person is keeping it going. 

Highlight Reel was the best part of Kotaku, as far as I was concerned. G/O Media really seems to have nailed the business plan of killing their best content and firing the creators responsible for that content. I can’t see that working out for them.

Well, I’m pretty sure Gamestop will report the value of stolen used games (if there are any in the lot, as I’m sure there are) as the price they’re selling it at, not the price they actually paid for them. Remember folks, in today’s world, value is not defined by the actually cost of acquisition, but by how much

I doubt there’s $130,000 of merch in 10 gamestops let alone 4.
