Number 33 ... urban myth, because both of those aliens are at least influenced by, if not direct rip-offs of, the grasshopper baddies from A Bug’s Life. Nuff said.

Andrew, has anybody ever explained the difference between “invisible” and FUCKING CLEAR to you? Just wondering ...

will actually keep the thieves out as they are not going to dick around

Well, as far as finger wagging is concerned ... “can’t afford to buy it” is in no way, shape or form actual justification for stealing a game which you do not in any way, shape or form need for survival. It’s not like stealing a loaf of bread if you’re penniless and starving, do you see what I mean?

How is smoking still a thing in 2016 at all?

I hear what your sayin ... it’s the same for me on Amazon ... there’s really only a couple categories of stuff that I realistically want to be shown additional products in ... books and movies and sometimes music. I don’t buy clothes every day, or tools, or kitchen appliances, or bedding, or lawn tractors ... you name…

Just when exactly did the word “progressive” morph into this bizarre code for hard-core left-wing radical? It’s bad enough that the hard-core right-wing reactionaries have taken control of the word ‘conservative’ and turned what used to be a perfectly good socio-political concept into a label for racist…

Who on God’s Green Earth calls I-5 “the 5 Freeway”???????? I’m a Californian bred and born, been here for 5 decades ... NOBODY says “the 5 freeway”. It’s I-5 and damn near every last Californian in existence, calls it nothing but “I 5”.

I think our public school systems need to include skilled trade academies (including but not limited to mechanics, wood working, metal working, electronics, even engineering) ... the college prep channel is fine for many generic degree paths (MBAs are dime a dozen, found everywhere and worth next to nothing) but…

Schools simply aren’t turning out enough machinists.

I think a lot of folk who question either the utility of cup holders or the practice of drinking coffee in a car don’t understand American commuter culture.

For what it’s worth both the question and the answer are wrong ... there currently ARE luxury minivans. There just aren’t any luxury BRAND minivans.

homonym alert ...

Word up. I have never played a game where I knew and expected “permadeath” to be a part of the gameplay. I’ve been playing PC games for almost a quarter century, and the whole “permadeath” and “ironman” playstyle is something I never even heard of until just two or three years ago.

a partial panacea

What the heck? Maybe you don’t understand what the words “used” “running” and “program” mean in the context of computers in the English language. If a program is running, it is in use. Whether or not the computer owner/operator/individual located between the keyboard and chair intended or wanted that program to run is…

regarding #2 ....

I watched ‘Scouts Guide’ with my kids (young teens) ... we all came to the conclusion that it was mildly entertaining, has some (not a lot, but some) funny laugh-out-loud parts, was mostly groan-inducing, and seemed primarily aimed at the middle-school crowd even though it was R rated.

“One Of The Biggest Motorcycle Magazines ...”

The viddy is cool and all, but I think there are a lot of clues in there to point out why that war is going the way it is ... the absolute unprofessionalism of the tank crew (reminds me of Kelly’s Heroes in a way), and the apparent complete lack of strategy or tactics ... “hmm, the enemy is purported to be about a…
