In GTA games (or any game where you can control the reticle position with your mouse) every shot can be a headshot when you use a mouse. I argue that I am able to strafe and fire more effectively on PC than on console (having owned the first 2 Mass Effect games on 360 and PC). I also had to rely on VATS much less on…

If you want to nitpick, the "over 9000" thing happened in the first saga, before Goku had done the first Super Saiyan transformation. He had the Kaio Ken thing going for him, but his hair was still short (compared to SS3) and black

6) Here's a solution to the problem of trying to cut across 4 lanes of frontage road in Austin. Get off one exit earlier. The frontage roads for I35 in ATX run the entire length of the freeway. It's pretty dangerous at times to try to cut across 4 lanes of frontage road that's moving at 60 mph in the equivalent of a…

Poor people tend not to own cars? Maybe in NYC, but in other areas even the poor usually need to drive to get to work unless they're going to spend half the day walking to and from work.

To be fair to the Science Channel, the only reality show I can think of on there is Oddities, but it seems to be on whenever I flip to that channel

The treadmill cheese snack thing has more in common with Guitar Hero than an actual guitar does, though...

No Principality of Equestria mod in the list? It is kind of old, relatively speaking. Some mod author has also made a lot of Mass Effect civs, playing as the Geth is kind of OP (additional cities add a bonus to science on top of what the cities already generate)

Half of the programming on both the Science channel and Travel channel are reality shows. Take away the 2 hour block of How it's Made (interesting on some episodes, but it's mostly reruns) and you're left with a very small amount of programming that fits the name of the channel.

Without counting portables and sidegames, they only release one every year

As the recommended requirements for games start getting very close to matching my specs in all areas (not counting hard drive space, ofc), I start getting the feeling it'll be time to upgrade soon

Well, most swords throughout history weren't made out of folded steel, Damascus blades and the popular Japanese swords being the exception to the rule. Spring steel is often used for lots of projects because it's inexpensive and relatively strong

You do realize that your house has 220 or 240 in it as well as 110/120 right? I'll bet there'll even be an inverter available to convert 60hz to DC instead of the 50hz they have there. Now if only I had the boatloads of cash it'll cost to have one of these

In GTA once you get past 3 star bounty, a chopper joins the pursuit against you as well, so it's a toss up

I thought they found out the guy was in pain because he tried to off himself by drinking some toner or something, but then House gave him liquor, which had some sort of catalyzing effect on the toner and ensured they guy would survive long enough to be executed or whatever

If you're happy playing on a console, more power to you, my kids play the crap out of my xbox 360 (mostly minecraft and lego starwars/batman/etc). I've played some FPS games that worked well on consoles, but the limits of the controller are a bit of a turnoff for me, so I'll always prefer gaming on a PC. However, I'm…

Carlos disagrees. Can't find a picture :(

Wasn't the only thing they kept from the original FFXIV the title? Pretty much a new game, and server load is often underestimated for online games. Having loftier expectations may have been somewhat justified, but server overload shouldn't have been a surprise

Store brands I'll buy every time since they're pretty much the same: OTC pain relievers, refined sugar, frozen potato stuff (french fries, hash browns, etc), non-specialty (i.e. bleached all-purpose) flour. So more or less generic products are ok to replace with generic brands.

I'm going to guess you've never been on a range. There is no thrill of simulated killing at the range. It's (for me) all about control and accuracy. How close to the mechanical limits of the performance of a given firearm can I replicate? Motorsport would also be a control and accuracy sport to me. How close to the…

yes they are weapons, and yes a competition gun will kill someone just as dead as a standard personal defense 9mm or .38, or whatever caliber you choose (although competition guns tend to be smaller caliber since smaller pieces of metal are a little more accurate than big pieces of metal). Just as you can daily drive…
