Sorry but what a load of absolute nonsense. No, you absolutely do NOT need to have watched Clone Wars or Rebels or read the Ahsoka novel or bought the grey side colouring book to understand the character. Where on earth has this narrative come from all of a sudden about geek-related media? I mean, people started their…

Oh god, could you imagine if Pike’s Enterprise had a moment of seeing the Cerritos and are all awed by its technological advances (I mean, look at all the glowing bits!) leading to Mariner and Boimler *very unconvincingly* talking her up as the flagship of the federation?

Why yes, yes they do and as a result their entire EU / UK range is now hybrid only and makes a legit claim to be the best hybrid system on the market. Latest Civic somehow manages to feel like it’s got actual gears, is fun to drive, delivers roughly the same performance as a Golf GTI (Honda *massively* understate its…

If you’ve got it wall mounted might be easier to mod the mount rather than the saber? If the mount holds it relatively securely then a remote control switch placed over the power button with some suitable Star Wars kit bashing / paint job to help it blend in could work relatively well and not risk breaking the saber.

And you know the person on the other end of the call is telling the truth... how, exactly? Now bear in mind I’m coming at this from a UK perspective but this sort of social engineering attack is something pretty much everyone is trained about these days, albeit usually in the context of GDPR and personal data. Unless…

Uh, hang on, about that ‘how does it compare with its rivals’ part... At least here in the UK the Golf R starts from just over £42k which puts it some distance from the price point of most hot hatches and firmly up against the big boys. For comparison a M135 starts just under £40k and the Merc AMG A35 around £43.5…

I’ve always loved that about the F1. It has that ‘hold my oil’ vibe to it. Top speed records? Oh go on then. Go win Le Mans? Well we’re not doing anything that weekend, why not? Something not quite right? Just hook it up to the internet and we’ll diagnose the fault remotely (in the mid-90's!). And all in a package…

Going from memory believe Gordon said in the round of interviews that accompanied T.33 they intended three models based on the platform. Really *really* doubt that’ll be to make higher volume lower cost cars - I mean, why would you when you can sell out $1m+ models all day long? - so it’ll be interesting to see which…

While I can’t speak to the RS the European spec Jazz is.... absolutely none of those things. Hybrid setup means a quoted 0-60 in under 9 seconds with instant torque off the line (and a couple of reviewers with specialist timing gear found it was a fair bit quicker than the quoted figure). In reality it’ll happily keep…

While on the surface an odd move for Tesla as it’s such a selling point for their cars I suspect it’s not entirely altruistic as implied here for two reasons:

Disagree with... well, all of this actually. Let’s start with the obvious: there’s no WAY the opening couple of levels take 2 hours. I’m... what’s the word... crap at FPS games. I’m old and broken (first gaming system was a Commodore 64...), the reflexes are shot and my eyeballs creak when used. Yet according to my…

I’d argue that the word “fun” isn’t the right one here. No modern supercar (or even most current super saloons, hot hatches etc) are “fun” unless you’ve got access to a track. Exciting, sure, but they’re so damn capable and so fast having fun on public roads is nigh on impossible without being a monumental dingus to…

Williams probably don’t have the budget for it. Engines might not count against the budget cap but they’ve still gotta be paid for somehow. McLaren... well, it’s a risk. Car’s certainly decent but it’s not as good as the Merc and if you can’t carve through quickly then the tires are shot to hell by the time you’ve got…

Nothing nefarious at all. Remember that in the normal run of things engines don’t matter much as everyone is managing a 3 unit allocation through the same amount of races. You may see a little advantage on one race track over another but even when a new one gets slotted it has to do 7 or 8 races plus practice, qualy…

I’ve deliberately avoided season 6 for fear it was going to end... well, exactly how this article feared it would end actually. But no, no they actually went with the Justice League Unlimited ‘and the adventure continues’ ending. For *once* Kara Zor-El doesn’t get absolutely screwed over in the DC universe! Now when’s…

Best example I can give you is her *horrific* botch with Kari Sane last year. As it was an empty arena show you can hear Kari yelling she’s not set for the bump and *screaming* as Nia just tosses her neck first into the turnbuckle. It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch and IMO Nia should have been fired after that. Not…

There’s a lot more. Very much a risk / reward game mode and MC3624 has the basics down up there ^ Couple of bits to add: Cars are graded from 1 to 10 to give you a rough idea of relative performance and this is made *really* obvious when you see something in a car drop. When you win a race against someone you can…

Kotaku: “not directly encouraging anyone to break the law and download games they have not purchased”

So I went shopping for one of these a couple of months back and came away underwhelmed. It’s a fun car to drive, sure, and definitely communicative but there were some downright weird things about it. I’m not tall at five nine but even so very much felt like I was perched up on it rather than sitting in it like I…

Wait... you’re telling me that the Model X can be driven with the doors *up*? Seriously? A car with rear doors that, when open, are more or less at neck height, hinge *down* so have no give in them at all and reach out further than the bodywork doesn’t lock out drive when they’re not closed?
