It's not a crystal ball. It's called 'science'. :) I know that there are a lot of EV advocates that get really butt-hurt when they are confronted with the bitter realities of modern battery limitations. The emotional sadness and anger they fell does not change the science though.

M'eh - ultimately pointless. The problem with Electric Cars has nothing to do with patents, patent law, or anything that Musk has any ability to influence in any way.

As long as they make it AO or something then fine. But keep all the sex controversies out of games that are played by kids, thanks.

I misread, but your phrasing could have been better. Regardless, I very much like the model for TF2 as well. There is nothing in the game - absolutely nothing - that relates to the GAME that needs to be unlocked or bought. You don't have to grind for two seconds if you don't want to in order to play 100% of the…

Totally disagree. Team Fortress is one of the most fun shooters out there. The team-based aspect appeals to me, but it also rewards individual skill. If TF2 is 'worse' then other FtP games then I'd like to know what games you think are better. 99.9% of the FtP games I've seen are junk like Farmville, throttled…

Cool. Looks like they're going the "TF2" route where they will make their money with 100% optional 'stuff' you can use to customize your experience. That's a good approach. One of the best things about Unreal Tournament and UT2004 was the way they opened it up to user content. Some of my favorite stuff were custom…

Sigh. Folks - this is a game that kids are playing. Young. Children. This is not a place to drag your activist prejudices and desires to Force Social Change, Express My Adult Opinions, and Experiment With Sexual Preference. If that's what you want to do then there are plenty of Adult Only games where you can do…

Pht - go ahead as long as you make the game AO. Or if they want to make a special version only for Radical Progressive Adults Wanting To Make A Statement then that's fine too. But it's currently a game designed for general audiences - which includes young kids. That's not the place for the LGBT to shoehorn in its…

Pht - I couldn't care less about his tone. I care more about the absolute idiocy of Jones' arguments. He isn't making any good points in his rant. He comes across as a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

No - he didn't have an excellent point. He blathered a lot of stupid conspiracy-theories and total bullcrap. Highways were not built so white people could get from South Chicago to their jobs in a way that avoids Blacks. People move out of bad neighborhoods because they are BAD neighborhoods - not because they want…

You know what's harder? Having a truly honest conversation about racial issues where culpability, responsibility, and fairness are apportioned with true equity. Any honest discussion of race issues in America must include the crippling degree of culture rot taking place within the Black community. But no one is…

Bummer. I liked his work as an actor. Ignoring Super Mario Brothers, he was always pretty good in whatever role he got.

There are promising signs. However, like you, I'm keeping my shields up on this one.

I have to agree. I have yet to see a single 3d movie where the 3d did anything but distract from the movie. You can PUT a movie in 3d, but it does not ADD anything to the viewing experience.

The Sydow has gravitas. He'll be awesome no matter what they have him do. If he can pull off "Brewmeister Smith" in Strange Brew then he can do anything.

You're in luck. Single player mode is on the way.

The lack of people is probably more of a factor of the "wet on wet" technique that Ross used, rather than any inherent dislike of human beings. The wet on wet technique involves a lot of 'smooshing' (a word Ross used sometimes) the paint around on an already wet canvas. While you could probably do abstract paintings…

Penny Arcade pretty much summed it up for me...

This. The text of his comments sounds VERY rosy about how much control he retains, how much direction he will have, and a whole lot of other strategic level stuff that - quite frankly - you 'give away' as part of the terms of any merger. Oculus may find that it has to attend meetings with "suits" of some sort to…

Hm - an article where the politician is (A) arrested for crimes and (B) the author lists his party affiliation as Democrat is pretty rare. And it's not because Democrat politicians commit fewer crimes...
