Learning curve is pretty shallow, and after playing through HW1 Remastered I can honestly say its MUCH easier than I remembered. HW2 has its difficult points, but that mainly has to do with its unit limits. in HW1 if you get good with all your salvage corvettes then your fleet will be massive in no time. Also, that…

I think this is gonna bomb simply because Statham isn't attached to it. Yeah... it'll probably suck as a movie too, but most people saw the first Transporter because it was a "hey, wasn't that guy on some British gangster movie?".

Actually, its even bleaker than that, if they had followed the science to a T. He would have gone in to the black hole and all the outside world would have seen would have been him getting smaller and flatter and slower until he essentially stops in time on the event horizon. Whatever message he wanted to send would…

People should try SWAT 4 if you want a far more realistic take on police action. Punishments for collateral damage are high, but most of the time things go south very quick unless you plan every step ala Rainbow Six. Now... Realism has its limits, and one of the hilarious features/flaws of SWAT 4 due to its more…

Drag racing reminds me of sabre fencing. Lots of things happen very quickly and then some wins. There's none of the back and forth of the other fencing styles, but its so much more vicious for it.

Clarkson walks that fine line of being the ultimate knob that you somehow still are willing to listen to, at least for just an hour a week. The "Clarkson Persona" would be an absolute nightmare to deal with regularly. Will always like Top Gear regardless of what happens, but I can't say I blame the BBC for finally…

You can find a decent low mileage E63 for ~$50k or less, possibly even with a warranty remaining. This is for a 2010-2011 vintage car. Yeah... if I had (err... if I wanted to spend) $50k to spend on a car that's pretty damn tempting. A $60k GT-R just doesn't seem nearly as appealing, even though the want is VERY…

And for the slightly less glamorous side of keeping a beast like that running... we have Mike Rowe to show you what the grease crew needs to deal with.

Best name? Nah... that title belongs to Deathscythe.

One one hand, its not a "random" startup. They've got people with experience making MMOs. On the other hand, one of the founders has been involved in quite a few MMOs that didn't exactly set the world on fire. He looks like like he's got a hell of a resume, but in the "we almost made it" kind of way. I think my…

I think this will be the first and last time I will see a merc ML drifting at speed. I did some low speed unintentional "drifting" (err... sliding) on some sketchy iced over roads before in an ML, but this guy takes the cake.

You could potentially grab a smallish asteroid that passes Earth from time to time and use that as a counterweight. Difficult, but definitely not outside the realm of possibility. It wouldn't have to be all the large (probably something 10s of meters across would be heavy enough if it was metal) but even something…

What gets me about the second one is not the position of the truck, its that the back wall and storefront are completely untouched. Its like the truck managed to sneak behind the barriers from the right AT SPEED and without scraping the wall or breaking any windows before pulling a hard left and slamming dead center…

The few parents who are on my facebook wall posting about anti-vaxxers are all shaking their heads as to how stupid a parent can be to refuse vaccines. There are plenty of people in the bay area who are getting quite vocal about calling out ant-vaxxers on their bullshit. I say the best place to do it would be at a…

Having hit 155 (ish... more like 152) in a 270HP car I can attest to that number. I definitely ran out of power (and will power) before I ran out of gearing on that car....

I inquired at a VW dealership recently if there was a way to completely disable (like physically remove or unpower) the VW tracking/safety reporting system. Both the salesman and manager gave me two blank stares and asked me why I would want to do that since I could just opt out of the service. That is how clueless…

I would agree with you about the fragility, but have you ever broken micro USB plug before? Those tongues look like they'd snap in an instant but I've never managed to break one no matter how much I've fumbled plugging them in. Its no Lightning cable, but I think its more than good enough to supersede micro USB. …

WOW. It looks like buick may finally have a car that looks the part of the luxury line. In profile however does anyone think Merc SLS 4-door? Cuz that's all I see. Not a bad thing, but the resemblances are uncanny.

USB Type C. Its about freaking time.

My Manual AWD Turbo Sedan Mazda got me 71-80%! Woohoo! In reality its probably somewhere in the 40-50% range. Only its rarity makes up for its general attempt at the jack of all trades master of none mentality.
