What, the Passat?

Well then Meester Doug, as a Golf owner since 2012 who recently upgraded to a GTI, what are your thoughts on the petroleum-powered Golf family? The recent Golf lines actually have pretty damn good reliability from what I understand and I have had zero problems with mine. They seem well built, well engineered,…

My issue is partly that I am a completionist. I will make sure to check every corner for loot and complete almost every side quest in an RPG.

Did Quattro save him?

The fact that we are getting this in the US makes me unreasonably happy. We never get this kind of fun stuff anymore!

The amount of trains on this list makes the kid in me SO HAPPY

I love rally but I’m still new to the actual rules of the sport. So, during the recce, the road is still open to traffic?

I agree.

I’d actually go further and apply this to the American market too. There are obviously several outliers on both sides, but American cars also mostly look pretty bland these days except Ford/Mazda. Europe, in my opinion, is doing pretty nicely on good-looking cars these days, between VW and Euro-Ford.

MGS4 was the first and only game of the series I played— SO FUN. On so many levels. Gunplay was wonky at first but with playing became fine. Never figured out the close quarters combat stuff. Graphics were amazing especially for the time. The story was convoluted as hell but I still felt a lot of feels at the end.…

I’m all about this color dots stuff it looks so good

I’m just glad with every piece of news about it, knowing that it hasn’t dropped off the radar. I was pulled in by the art style, the world, and the music. The gameplay looks awesome, but challenging: I haven’t ever really played a game like this, and it seems like it will require a lot of skill

Was waiting for flame tracks to be left on the tarmac... huge missed opportunity but still awesome

The basic white girl equivalent of choice in aircraft, but it does have a special place in my heart. (NO, NOT JUST DUE TO TOP GUN)

I bought these last summer. Sound quality is great, but they are sort of a tight squeeze on my head and end up hurting my ears after more than an hour. They don’t fit me as comfortably as I had hoped, but they are worth a purhcase at this price.

How’s the vision out of the front and rear?

Can you play as Slave I? Or at least were you able to? Can/did you fly the Falcon as well?

Yeah it actually is a blast. It is a lot like soccer, but it’s a whole new experience because you have to plan your driving line ahead of time due to accelerating and turning. The vertical elements with the jump jets and wall-driving, as well as boost management, also keep it fun.

Ponyo was excellent. The first Ghibli film I saw, and the only one I’ve seen in theaters.
