So what does your ideal Sean Macdonald test ride article look like then?

I have always liked BMW bikes ... I’ve owned two (both R1150R roadsters). That being said, I consider their *current* design philosophy to be a bit too fashion-forward, too industrial ... just like German heavy metal music, they take a concept, take it apart down to basic components, put it back together after finely…

Nobody with a brain complains about the corner-carving capabilities of a heavy duty pickup truck, or the zero-to-sixty times of a breadvan. Why compare a cruiser / touring bike to a sportsbike? Everybody, including the SQUIDS at motorcycle.com who complains about HD’s cornering clearance, suspension travel, and other…

Yes, my Mom always Hoovered the living room on a Sunday morning

Actually I think that was all sodas, not just colas.

Are you kidding me? Which sites are you reading? As far as I’ve read, his summation of the reviews for Harley’s bikes in general is dead on.

admitting this to anyone with a brain under the age of 40 is going to cause them to disregard anything else you have to say.

Not ‘setting’ the nomenclature standards, just enforcing them. That’s my burden in life, being called pedantic and grammar nazi among less flattering things ;-) ...

Not that how often I ride has anything to do with commenting on an internet bloggything, but yeah, I ride my bike a couple times a week, usually to the office & back on a day that I don’t need or want to drive my car. Also an irrelevant subject, but you mention it so ... I don’t think I’ve ever used wikipedia for…

I notice how it can only be accurate to the nearest five minutes, unless there’s some witchcraft going on with multiple partially lit tubes that are not being represented in that gif up there, and which would be a pain in the ass to decipher for anyone who is not used to the clock. Like those stupid binary dot clocks…

The Japanese were the first to recognize and perfect the car-as-appliance mentality.

I should’ve known you were one of those Mom Teresa fanbois ;-) ... you must have missed the particular issue of Squidly Monthly where they interviewed the ghosts of dead racers from the future who greatly regretted leading so many young ‘Muricans to make wrong-headed decisions about what kind of moto accessory brands…

Joseph, you write fairly well, but I question how you come up with these things you are making certain assertions about.

I see your point but I was just thinking of all the cool toys that could be developed based on known properties of the game. Anyways, an ‘amoral science-led’ villain was the main antagonist in FO2 if I recall correctly, so it wouldn’t exactly be new. But based on the snippets of info I’ve been reading here and…

I’m smack dab in the middle of replaying FO3 + DLCs right now ... in FO3, there is definitely multiple different models of power armor based on the fact that in general they cannot be used to repair across armor types ... here are the types I can recall off the top of my head having seen them in the past couple days:…

The NCR was brought about in FO2 if I recall correctly, since the first president of the NCR was just a child in FO1. So the NCR was just barely an established entity in the Fallout franchise prior to FO3 (New Vegas being of the same timeline as FO3). To my recollection, New Vegas was the first game to have a large…

Yeah, that definitely puts it into the same category of “armor” as the Space Marine suits in Warhammer 40k and StarCraft video games. Basically a robot with a truncated person inside, just head and torso. The Fallout franchise history definitely declares that Power Armor (regardless of “model”) is a suit of armor worn…

I grok what you’re saying, but the FO3 suit looks more like an actual suit of armor that could be worn by a person whereas that model of the FO4 armor doesn’t look like there’s a person actually wearing a suit. It’s seems to be leaning towards comic book superhero proportions, completely unlike any real human body in…

I hope there’s more Enclave forces (love that Tesla Armor!) and maybe some additional competing organizations a la New Vegas’ New California Republic and Caesar’s Legion. I’d love to see some models / toys of Deathclaws, Mister Gutsy/Handy, Eyebots, Protectrons and Sentrybots as well as every variety of Power Armor…

Are people really that stupid that they think that a fucking internet petition has any effect whatsoever on anyone or anything anywhere??????? Holy fucking shit some people are so fucking brutally stupid!!!!!! I fucking despise every last moron on earth that thinks that ANYTHING WHATSOEVER CAN OR HAS EVER happened due…
