Farewell, Mythic. I hope everyone realizes that regardless of how they felt about their games, this is a company full of people and those people have all just gotten a huge shock. If you've ever been laid off before, you know the feeling.

EA buys Mythic.

The author is extremely non-representative of the population (though probably a lot closer to typical of Jalopnik readers). The story started with driveway resurrection of an electrically inop car, after all. There is a fair bit of troubleshooting ability and make/era- specific knowledge both explicit and…

The funny thing is, I look at people in older luxury cars and think, "Of course you don't have any money. You drive that thing."

Nice. The artificial Mulberry harbors were truly amazing. The were built out of hundreds of individual floating concrete pieces built in England and towed across the channel. Prior to D-Day their existence was one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war.

It is as if Disney is finally accepting it's furry legacy.

So is the A-10 Warthog the Brown Manual Diesel Wagon of Foxtrot Alpha?

I can not believe the USAF are thinking of retiring this aircraft. Having seen how effective it is, up close and personal, while serving with the British military in Afghanistan. As the author states, it would be hugely effective against small boats, as favoured by the Iranian navy. I've spoken to some people on…

GM 2013 revenue: $152,100,000,000
USDOT recall fine: $ 35,000,000
Fine as a percentage of 2013 revenue: My calculator doesn't do numbers that small.

They have a lot in common, really. They're both filled with shit.

Final Wars is goofy, but it has ALL the kaiju. My personal favorite moment - Zilla, aka the mutated iguana from the American Godzilla - attacks Sydney. When the real Godzilla shows up, Zilla, rendered totally in CGI, gets his ass kicked in less than a minute by the traditional man-in-a-suit Godzilla. One of the aliens…

I always considered the GTI one of the best sporty DD's you can buy. The great thing about it is its ability to have multiple personalities in compared to the ST or the WRX (or even the outdated MazdaSpeed3). Those hot-rods give you the sense that you have to flog them 100% of the time. And they are wonderful cars for…

So, you're telling me that IndyCar racing was once interesting?

He's not a traitor. He pretty much sacrifced his little piece of "the american dream" in the hope that the rest of us would not take this shit anymore. All we (in the USA) do lately is try to defend ourselves against our own government. They have taken over our healthcare system (healthcare is a business, no different…

The NSA is specifically forbidden in its charter from collecting signals intelligence on Americans.

Fun to drive! An Accord Hybrid! Before you demand my Jalop card and order me into emergency rear-engined air-cooled therapy to restore my sanity, hear me out.

Cover charges are only acceptable for live music. If you're charging a cover and there's no live entertainment your bar is a pretentious shithole and I'm going somewhere else.

Kerridge: [logs onto twitter]

In some sick way, I'd almost rather my remaining grandmother die like a lawless badass than the way my other 3 grandparents have gone: multilple aneurisms and a vegetative state; cerebral hemhorrage while sleeping; and a protracted 3-year battle with Alzheimers in a nursing home.

And then there is this guy.
