Fun fact: if you fall asleep like this you will wake up with your face covered in used bong water and beer suds.

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Holy hell, this is Metal as shit.

No, Kinect got sidelined because gamers clearly and loudly said they didn’t want it. A company exists to make money. Microsoft, to their credit, actually listened to folks who said they didn’t want to pay an extra $100 for something that they did not want to use in the first place.

Good. Better to actually finish working on the game than pull a Destiny and release on a certain date regardless of how the finished product turns out.

There can never be too many Stapler Fahrer Klaus posts. That video is pure comedy gold, and is somehow actually instructive at the same time. Brilliant!

Drag a decommissioned MGM-52 Lance missile out of storage, strap one of the ornery critters the front, and stand back!

To be fair, hitcherbot was a pile of crap with a smartphone strapped to it. It doesn’t even meet the basic definition of a robot because it was completely and totally incapable of doing what it was designed to do (hitchhike) without human assistance for 100% of its functions. At least other robots can weld cars or…

Personally I wish that the US ship had sailed to within 1 mile of those islands, just to reinforce to China that the atolls are still nobody’s legal claim, and that until an international agreement is reached nobody has the right to just sail up to them and shout “mine!”

The short answer: really advanced flight computers.

I think that people worried that Mario Maker is just a giant factory for Kaizo Mario-style levels are overlooking the fact that regular, good old-fashioned fun-to-play levels don’t make for good website content, so they don’t get any attention. There are plenty of great levels out there, I just wish Nintendo made it…

Ah, I see what you were getting at. That’s a good point indeed.

Putin has confirmed that he is willing to use tactical nuclear weapons even against a purely conventional force if “Russia’s existence is threatened.” So although there may be Russian civilians that don’t adhere to the idea that nuclear weapons can be used tactically, the current Russian leadership absolutely sees…

Does the US even field nuclear-capable torpedoes or sub-surface missile hybrids anymore? It seems like, in our post-Cold War haste to disarm our tactical weaponry, we have severely limited our options for delivery of low-yield warheads.

Well, you are definitely right about the Syrian situation being a sideshow in terms of a direct threat to the US. Of course, the whole area has become an incubation chamber for terrorists that will be an indirect threat to the US for decades to come, but that’s a separate issue. However, I’d be hesitant to say that…

Just wait, if you thought it was unsettling now, wait until you’ve used the controller for 3 years and Vault Boy’s facial features have been worn away by friction and palm sweat.

Well... that would require Bungie to first release Destiny on PC. And given their previous track record with the Halo games on PC (or lack thereof), that will happen right around the time the sun swells up into a bloated giant and swallows the Earth whole.

I never really noticed that there was a set of freaking human bones, complete with broken(?) skull, just sitting around in this wooden display case (complete with a tiny lamp and awful wallpaper/carpeting) like it ain’t no thang.

Excellent reporting, Jason.

Imagine if all of these were joints...
