What the...what? What is wrong with you?

Oh, c'mon. It's a prequel series. Badass terminator Lara is awesome, but the developers of the reboot are showing an interest in deconstructing the character a little. They feel there's a good story in showing how someone becomes so determined and strong, and this trailer totally alludes to that idea—Lara standing up…

It seems like a good team that "gets" it but is maybe still pretty early in development or has a lot of the more interesting work embargoed. They're talking about character effectively though—Me1 Faith was interesting to play but pretty generic, and it sounds like they're working on that. I'd be fine with a ME2 with…

I feel like they get it. "Faith is a projectile." YES exactly this.

3: Expanding the moveset can make for even more organic play. As smooth as ME1 movement was, it could get a little choppy and repetitive. Who doesn't want ME with even more diversity in level structure?

I really hope they do chose to unveil AS. Helvetica is even a step back from Lucida Grande. As of last year, they were making significant changes to Lucida, purportedly for retina displays: http://blog.justanotherfoundry.com/2013/10/lucida…

Lies! Verdana has a bad reputation, but it's among the most *functional* faces ever created, and that reputation largely stems from its ubiquity on the web and its lack of weights. Verdana has many virtues—it's the most attractive webfont, it has a truly sumptuous pro version (http://georgiaverdana.com/), and it may…

I'm 23 and I have the same issue. Helvetica's readability in body copy is crap. If it helps, Verdana's a great choice, despite its loathsome reputation—it might be the most exhaustively hinted font ever made, which would also make it probably the most expensive and labor-intensive font ever made. Its ubiquity on the…

Really? It's always bugged me. I don't use any of the default apps because I've never liked their look and feel. I find Helvetica really unpleasant to use for screen copy and I avoid using it in print copy like the plague.

Not super relevant, though. The issue is readability, not resolution. Helvetica produces eyestrain at small point sizes at 1200dpi+ resolutions...you know, print. I'm sure they're going to do their best with it, and that it'll be manually hinted with a high ceiling on point size, but there are fundamental problems…

Typographers like to gripe about that claim.

Nooooooo no no no. There's a big difference between something like a material (which may well be a matter of taste, supply chain efficiency, and trend) and something like a typeface, which is a fairly pure expression of design. Helvetica isn't "new," it's based on a typeface developed in 1896, and it's not suddenly…

Don't be rude! The cinema display and iMac products both have USB ports in inexplicable rear-facing configurations. Hence janky products like this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wipla…

At 9:28am you've got an "and" which should be an "an." Amazing, heart-rending, nausea-inducing story. Thanks for wading in shit for it.

Don't do Poe. I'm doing Poe.

Holy shit, this is awesome. Thank you. (Although I do feel like we could come up with something a little more derogatory/octopus-vagina-y than hamburgers and bibles—maybe electric chairs and racism? Hmm....)

Oh *totally.* Everybody's corrupted by the cancer of Walt. (How perfect a metaphor for the show is lung cancer by the way? A metastasizing killing force, emanating from the place where you draw breath to speak?) I think that's why I love the finale so much—the giddiness of it all, the idea that Walt ultimately makes…

I have no idea why, but I never noticed the weight/facial changes on original viewing. I can kind of see it now, though. Hmm.

Hank does the same, and more or less mirrors Skylar, in that he becomes incredibly erratic and betrays his principles the more desperate Walt's crimes make him.

I interpreted both Marie and Skyler as operating mostly in survival mode as the series went on, which papers over some of those inconsistencies. Marie finds her depth by prioritizing survival, while Sky becomes increasingly compromised. She just does what she needs to do every day to stay out of prison and alive.
