Obligatory cord-cutter self-congratulatory post: increase zero.

Time to sell my back issues, all the way back to number one…

Where's Billy Mumy and his camper friends when you need them?

I was an early cord-cutter (close to 10 years), and now watch all TV via streams or downloads. As result I see zero advertising. Literally, nothing. I believe this has a huge effect on the desire to buy things. I just don’t want...things.

As a second data point, I got married 5 years ago and my wife has found the same

I finished this game a couple days ago. I thought the Nemesis system was kinda a neat idea, but found it had little impact on the game itself. Pretty early on I stopped paying attention to it (other than when a quest required it) and felt it made no difference to the gameplay at all. When I got to the final mission

Or...realize it’s 2017 and shoe shining is silly.

I wonder if they consider Gmail “+” addresses as different? You could just do +prime1, +prime2 etc.

Gotta be a prequel because I killed all those buffalo.

You lost me at 'nerdcore icons'…

Is anyone else bothered that all those quarters appear to be silver?

These work pretty well. I use one (not this brand, but same idea) to get WiFi to the shed at the back of my yard.

Nothing about Fallen Angel? I saw that on TV when I was really young and Masur is stuck in my head as 'creepy pedophile' to this day.

No, that would be The End in the Booth. *rimshot*

It's also completely fake. The purchase decision is already made before taping and the 'options' are just other houses the realtor (who sponsors the episode) wants shown.

If you've never seen "The Booth at the End", seek it out.

The Amazon reviews on this were so bad I didn’t pick it up. Not being able to control volume on a receiver is a deal-breaker (and a fundamental design flaw).

The fact that it hits every 60 seconds suggests something external to the game.

The greatest revelation in the Aussie dialogue is when Max interrogates the garage dude and asks about “the tattoo”. That word isn’t used in the US version. Hearing that made the entire subtle tattoo subplot come into focus.

Gang members have the circle/slash tattoos on the their faces. They also burn it onto the road

The mix is terrible on the Aussie version. If I didn’t know the dialogue already, some of it would be unintelligible.

I don’t get the point of your comment. It’s like someone saying “I’m not a surgeon - I only cut vegetables in my kitchen, but the Argmo X97 Scalpel is crap.”
