When it’s dark or you have to use your windshield wipers, TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS. I mean really turn them on, not the daytime running lights or the half-assed setting. That’s the #1 thing I see around here.

Also, generally just don’t drive like it’s a competition. Flow with the traffic. Don’t be a dick just to get to…

I’m not a fan. It just doesn’t get as close as literally every other thing I have tried.

We tried that. We got a nasty letter from the city.

We already have two dog poop dispensers... oh, I see.

I still demand to know how Dr. Loki Skylizard lost.

Wow, the intent/attitude people have ascribed to my comment is pretty amazing.

I installed Ghostery after seeing a recommendation elsewhere. Given that it is very up-front about what it reports AND you have to opt in to let it do so, I doubt it deserves this much bile.

Perhaps amusingly, Ghostery is blocking 14 trackers on this page, which is much higher than average.

The 30% off “any single book” deal also works on boxed sets. My copy of the Mistborn Trilogy just arrived on my doorstep. :D

I would prefer to use a wheel, but I don’t have the desk space for it— it’s covered in music gear. :D

I just tried using the left touchpad for steering in Dirt Rally, and it was a pretty abysmal experience. It just didn’t work for me at all. I didn’t have any confidence or precision with it. But with thousands of hours…

I know, but I greatly prefer the feel of the stick. Better feedback.

If I can’t control an FPS sitting at my desk, I can’t do it on the couch either with the same controller :)

Without an analog stick, the controller would have been useless to me. I use it for racing games, and a D-Pad is garbage for racing games.

For me, the Steam Controller is an upgrade from the $15 XBox 360 controller clone I had been using. Its extreme configurability and wireless nature are very nice. For the most part…

I was in the stress test weekend, and was impressed by the game balance. I mean, it’s still a beta, but every character who seems ridiculously powerful in some situations has at least one counter, if not several. Characters who seemed really weak and/or awkward to me can be devastating when played well. Characters…

I am really not into JRPGs, nor platformers. When Sony managed to cancel my Playstation Plus subscription because my credit card number changed, without any attempt to contact me to update it, I decided not to fight it or renew. I put SFxTK and Wipeout on my Amazon wishlist with notes to only buy them cheap and used,…

I grew up in Florida and went to Sea World many times.

As far as education, conservation, and inspiration goes it really can’t hold a candle to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, or the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.

The project should be called “Pave the Whales”

Heh, just Saturday morning I replaced the Insinkerator Badger in our sink with a new one of the same model.

I thought about removing it and just going with normal plumbing, but that was probably a more complicated operation.

And I’ve lived with a roommate who had a habit of throwing food scraps into the sink in a house…

The indignities our Star Wars figures had to go through. Somewhere about a thousand miles from me, a C3P0 probably still lies where my jerk neighbor buried him.

I had the Leia on Endor action figure, as well as a stormtrooper with speederbike. Leia hijacked it, of course.

When Michael Brown was killed, a TV crew interviewed a possible witness and revealed his Twitter handle of “EyeFloodPanties.” Way to be remembered by history!

I’m so glad Steam allows name changes.

Unfortunately, my cat is perfectly happy to wake me at any time at random. He’s very affectionate, but also (A) likes to play at any hour, (B) never learned / is unable to retract his claws, and (C) likes to push through the vertical blinds right behind the bed to check out the window, which usually means either…
