That’s true, Nintendo sure didn’t. And I agree, it is pretty rare these days. Sadly, I can count on my hand how many co-op capable games I have on my ps4 for those rare occasions I can talk my wife into playing something with me - I even made a special folder for them.

Oh c’mon, everyone knows that the Game of the Century edition is also going to take a century to make!

Honestly, the way interest rates are right now - if you can get a loan at a rate that low, you’re probably better off financing the car and investing that cash at a nice index fund somewhere. Of course, a lot will also depend on what car you’re getting as well - don’t buy new, and go with something that will hold up…

I agree! it’s like every game company collectively forgot that people have friends/family they’d like to play games with that also happen to be in the same room.

Yeah, no kidding. It’s getting hard not to become numb about things - but if we do, we’re in for big trouble down the line.

I’ve found that personally, the best tactic is to know what you can afford and go with that final number in mind before any car is even looked at. Also, secure financing for yourself ahead of time - if you do that it hamstrings their ability to con you with talk of monthly payments. I’ve gotten great rates from my…

You should see how much water is used for irrigation in CA. It far exceeds how much individuals used by a ridiculous margin. The numbers are here, but it’s about 2/3 of the total water supply in 2010.

The phrasing used there includes the author... Second, I really don’t think it’s insulting to any individual reader to make a statement saying that we, as a collective humanity, aren’t doing something well because we just aren’t.

One trick I’ve done is a tweak to my office chair: I keep the armrests set at a high level coupled with a keyboard to encourage proper typing position for my hands. Basically, the hands are forced to stay elevated above the keyboard while typing and I don’t rest my wrists on anything. Finally, I pair the setup with a…

Haha, I had pretty much the same reaction. My dreams of writing about video games for a living were dashed as quickly as they were created.

While going for the balls is definitely effective, it’s not your only option. Eye gouging, the neck (go for the adam’s apple, not the muscular sides of the neck), solar plexus (center of the body, right at the bottom of the rib cage), floating ribs, knee caps (3lbs of pressure is all it takes to break a knee cap) are…

I had that happen in one of my games. Fortunately they weren’t going after my guys. I had a privateer set to explore the oceans and I found a huge fleet of the guys out in the water just sailing somewhere. It was a bit nuts.

Yep, no CEC, and because it’s always ‘on’, you can’t get a device that uses an active signal to automatically turn on. I have a Roku connected to the secondary monitor on my PC in my bedroom to use as a tv set, and it works great in that role - except that since it’s always on, the monitor won’t ever sleep so it has…

One of my favorites on my play-through is actually one of the prompted photo opportunities at that first fancy beach area you go to in Chp 1. It was night with the moon over the restaurant that’s over the water so I thought it would be an epic shot. I hopped off the chocobo I was on and I got a great shot. Of the choco…

What’s with the weird demands for vacuum reviews from multiple accounts, one for cats and one for dogs??

Ugh, as much as I love Netflix, it really is a case study of a company that keeps succeeding despite constantly making bad and sometimes just plain bizarre decisions. How many years has it been since they removed disc management from the main Netflix app? I don’t know, but I do remember that it was before the…

Yeah, I did the same. Living in an apartment complex where the (outbound) mailboxes were too small for discs didn’t even discourage me... but the Qwikster thing killed it.

Haha, I love Google telling Cortana what to do. That certainly sounds powerful. I also didn’t know that there’s already tasker integration there. It’s getting more and more convincing. I got addicted to the Xbox’s voice commands and lately, I’ve been wishing I had them when the xbox isn’t on.

Now THAT sounds really cool! Dammit, the urge to buy one has increased... Are you using a Logitech hub to control the tv?

This goes along with a lot of my thinking as well, especially concerning Amazon’s activities. My main pause is with third party support - with Echo, I could write a recipe and use it. However, with google, it seems to be a lot more restricted:
