I'm starting to think that when someone young and impressionable goes off and kills a bunch of other people, then it comes out that they played violent video games, it's not necessarily because they played violent games, but a large factor is probably that they have parents who don't care enough to make sure they…

I think they should put one total noob on each team, so they also have to overcome their frustration with an inexperienced player. That would show true skill.

Will there be DLC that lets you play as Edward Snowden?

Well for me, this is exactly what I wanted. I hacked my phone to add induction wireless changing, and I want to use nfc tags on the palm pre charging puck to do things, but if I put my phone one it, it keeps reading the NFC tag every 2 minutes or so and repeats the task. That's fine when it's a setting change to have…

I should have been more specific with what type of girls, it's because I don't really know what to call those popular/mean/spoiled girls that only seemed cool, but were really only exclusive. Jocks already have an easy monicker.

It's strange how fast it's meaning changed. Up until recently it was a derogatory term that meant nerdy and weird. Then it was taken by geeks in much the same way Americans claimed Yankee from the Brits and made it their own. Now it's become a bit too general, such that it can apply to nearly anyone who has an…

I know that it's wrong, but I get why girls are given more scrutiny when it comes to being a geek. We geeks still remember the days when girls and jocks were calling us geeks as a derogatory term, so we're a little more skeptical now that being geeky is actually becoming cool, like they're jumping on the bandwagon.…

I give it a week before Steam adds a return policy, and not only makes it easier, but blows Origin's time requirements out of the water.

I have yet to play the full game, as it came out at 5am this morning (for East Coast that is), but I have been playing the beta for the past 2-3 weeks and played the first Payday a lot when it first came out, and it's definitely enough of an improvement to warrant it being called a sequel. Better gun customization, a…

This is all good advise, but please don't be evil and be the one person who knows how something crucial works, only to walk away and fuck everyone else over.

If you're going for visuals synced with the audio, you gotta go with my all time favorite: Star Guitar by the Chemical Brothers

Well, the first thing I usually do is clean up the crime scene and start thinking about where I should hide the body...

The game may be somewhat casual, but the players are anything but. I don't think I've gone a round without my teammates harassing the shit out of me for not being great at the game.

It's embarrassing for me to admit that two years ago I dropped out of college after my 3rd year, but it wasn't helping me. It was in CA, and so the classes were absolutely packed and I wasn't able to get anything other than GE's. In my 3 years I was able to take 5 classes that pertained to my major, Computer…

Why even have wheels? Just have big rubber skids like a amphibious plane has, or land directly on the fuselage. You'd get a lot more friction from either of those.

I'm fairly certain that drum breaks are not better at stopping than ABS, but even beyond that, if you slam on the pedal with drum breaks, you're likely to lose control of the car if you're not already going perfectly straight. ABS allows you to continue steering effectively while breaking hard. Plus you have to pump…

I'm from San Diego, and I have tons of geeky friends, so I always like to look through the galleries looking for my friends. I didn't see any in the video, but number 6 in the gallery you linked to is of two of my friends Grant and Suki dressed up as Aquaman and Aquawoman(?).

Although Titanium is listed on the table of elements and steel is not, the Titanium that we use and call Titanium is an alloy as well; same with Aluminum. Without adding Carbon and other things, both are practically useless (unless you're making a tool like 500 years ago and can't do any better).

Straight up metals are practically useless before they have other elements added to make alloys. In that case, Titanium is actually overhyped as being a supermetal; it's in between aluminum and steel. It's nearly as light as aluminum, and nearly as hard as steel, though it doesn't rust, isn't magnetic, is biologically…

Why in the world would you bet on a scripted competition? I can see making a bet with your friend for who has to get up to get the beers, but putting any real money on it would be stupid. Partly because you can't figure out odds, and partly because it is too easy to know the results ahead of times because they are…
