Well, you're only charged IF they reach their goal. So you don't really get your money back, it's just never spent in the first place.

I agree. Like the article says, it feels weird talking about someone with a double amputation having an unfair advantage over other runners, but it's a possibility. If his protheses are somehow able to make him run faster or more efficiently than a "normal" runner, that's an unfair advantage. It's a really thorny…

Doesn't the runaway vulcanism of Io also make it so that the surface looks younger than it should? Or does it somehow not qualify for that distinction because of the vulcanism?

Does anyone else think that the term "heat map" when referring to the sun is a little bit redundant?

So you're saying that you're unreliable and a poor source of information. Good to know!

Wow. Someone's got a stick up their ass because they can't smoke a joint in public.

How do you find a balance between adding realism in a game and keeping it fun? If a real person took as many sword hits/gunshot wounds in a fight as any character in AC games did, they probably wouldn't be walking away from it. When do you decide to forgo realism in favor of fun? Is it a conscious decision, or…

Unless, of course, it's your startling racist comments and cyst-popping pictures in your OK Cupid profile that are stopping you from getting dates.

I was slightly disappointed that the answer to how to deal with mosquitos wasn't "flamethrowers." That would be a completely over-the-top response, but kind of awesome.

It just ended. So now we have to turn to real life to get a dose of crazy scientists doing things they probably shouldn't be.

I'm confident that the plan for first contact has already been written. It might be a lot of bullshit (like Dustan Hoffman's plan in "Sphere") but I'm sure it exists. I would think the same filing cabinet probably also contains plans for a zombie apocalypse, a giant monster attacking New York and more. It just seems…

They're not "cool" anymore!? Well shit. I guess it's time for me to stop playing games.

I thought The Armory of General Knoxx for Borderlands was a great expansion. Yes, it was the same Borderlands gameplay, but it added new quests, a whole new area to explore, new cars to drive, new weapons, new enemies and a whole lot more. I thought most of the Borderlands DLC (with the exception of Mad Moxie) was…

I never got to see what happened if you messed up on that part in DS2, so thanks!

They throw comedy in there like...once a season. I'm pretty sure there will be at least one smile in the series finale.

Ahem.

Vacation booked!

How exactly is 6.9 percent of the population widespread? That seems like a minority of the population to me.

Yep. But this time we do it with cool space ships.

Couldn't we just use all that ice on Europa to help cool things down more quickly? It would either have to be that or make a whole bunch of margaritas to help pass the time.
