Point of clarification: While the data layer on a CD is closer to the label than to the bottom of the disc, it is somewhere midway between the top and bottom on a DVD. This means scratches near the top are less likely to catastrophically affect a DVD.

Once upon a time.

It's still not a great deal.

Let's assume the most common new price for a game is $60, while used we'll drop it to $50.

Ken's also half-Japanese. Still counts, right?

The flaming hadouken is a good point, but what if we go onto a super-move basis? Ken has a three-strike dragon punch ending in a flaming uppercut while Ryu has... A bigger hadouken.

In which case, Ken's eventual evolution to a flaming shoryuken would probably gain him some brownie points with the crowd.

Back at E3 2012, in the midst of The Walking Dead Season One (the game), Telltale had a meeting room with a small reception area. In that reception area, they were looping statistics on player choices from a released episode and had a service table with massive turkey legs, along with fake limbs for the bones to be…

Prior to World War II, you had extensive integration of the Jewish people into Eastern Europe and Germany. Ashkenazic Jews tend to look, if anything, almost indistinguishable from others of that region (in fact, the designation "Ashkenazi" comes from the word "Ashkenaz," the Hebrew name for Germany).

And you've missed my point entirely.

Please don't start the "there are martial arts too deadly for the Octagon" stuff in here.

There's actually a video (posted here) that might be a better example of what you're looking for. Here, the armor goes up against a champion Muay Thai fighter, and it doesn't look like he's holding back too much (if at all) on his body and leg shots.

Everywhere in the US I've been, 55 MPH is a highway/freeway speed. Sometimes they're higher, around 65 MPH, but I-95 (as a notable example) is largely 55 MPH.

The ad outright says "other people make mistakes." The mistake of the man who pulls out is acknowledged.

It's been a long time since I've done this, but you would probably need to create a second partition on your 1TB drive if you wanted to dual-boot from it. You can google the tools/instructions you'll need for that.

The Xenoblade thing is an issue, to be sure, and what I'm about to outline doesn't apply to it: that whole situation was a one-of-a-kind, standout moment of greed and idiocy.

You're mistaking your perception of what "new" should entail for the company's definition of "new."

In GameStop parlance, "used" means a game has been purchased before and sold to them by a consumer. If what they're selling you is direct from the publisher and intact, save for the shrink-wrap, they will still sell it as new.

First off:

Personally, I believe that existentialism is a wonderful thing. Someone seeing something other than what the author may have stated as their intent in a work is fine as long as they can "back it up," so to speak, in their analysis. I'd say evgon7 has to do a bit more backing up of his arguments, though.

While that is the title of the Kotaku article, the title of the actual video makes no reference to your knowledge or lack thereof about the NES. It simply says that they are five fun facts about the console.
