There’s a movie about a guy that create atomic bomb that destroyed 2 city andmultiple games about US invasion of Vietnam and Iraq. Somehow this is where you draw the line?

If you figure a 50 GB game and use AWS numbers, 10,000 copies would incur almost $30k in outbound (AWS S3 to internet) transfer costs - which would end up being nearly $3 per copy.

When I was a kid in the early 90s, games were around $40.

This is emphatically not true. SNES games regularly cost $70 in the early 90s. There were some $50 titles from the beginning, but $60 has been the standard price since well before the 360, and it was in fact significantly more common to exceed that price before that. It was only around then that everything started to…

We used to get a whole lot of buggy and broken games, especially back in the cartridge era.  And they stayed broken.

Right, I should have specified plastic yes. I agree with everything said.

well what you’re missing is you haven’t seen the movie yet.

the global conflict depicted in Edwards’ thrilling film, which pits artificially enhanced intelligent robots against humanity

Glass in particular is almost infinitely recyclable, provided it can be sorted by color and grade before it gets broken into pieces too small for effective sorting.  (I mean, you can still recycle it if it’s not sorted, it just becomes less useful once its an opaque mess.  It’s important to keep the clear stuff clear…

“recycling **plastic** is almost worthless the better off we’ll be”

Their statement seems to indicate that they found that recycling those bottles into LEGO bricks generated more carbon emissions than landfilling the bottles.

Somewhat disappointing...and yes, I’m aware of all the reasons why recycling is terrible (but that really depends on your jurisdiction and how they are doing it...it’s NOT universal).  British Columbia, for example, has a very good program which sees all plastic collected processed locally into pellets and flakes and…

The 3-arrow symbol was devised by the plastics industry to trick people into thinking plastics were recyclable and thus OK to use, and to divert the blame for plastics waste from the producers and sellers to individuals.

Kotaku comments section in a nutshell:

“Oh my god, the free stuff I’m getting isn’t the free stuff I want to get. Fucking capitalism.”

Don’t get me wrong, I recycle everything I can, but the sooner everyone realizes that recycling is almost worthless the better off we’ll be.

Does SNL really pay that well?

I can tell you didn’t read this article. 

Directed by genre vet Simon West, Expendables 2 is the only one I consider genuinely entertaining. It’s by no means a classic, but everyone seems to finally get why this concept is fun and what the audience expects. JCVD is a great scenery chewing villain as well. 3 is such a botched opportunity but Banderas and…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a stark expression of working-class false consciousness as this song and the cultural phenomenon around it. Think about how odd it would seem to people of modest means in any other country—or in this country before 1980—for a populist protest song with a title explicitly calling out…

I watched the trailer and was satisfied to see 50 Cent’s character say, “That’s what I’m talking about”, one of the four mandated Black Person In A Movie lines. (The other three being, “Damn”, “Aw, hell no” and any sentence ending in “baby”.)
