That’s hilarious, I was going to write that this was probably related to these dimwits being bored following the cancellation of Cops last year, given the city’s constant presence on the show; I wanted to first verify that it was in fact featured in as many episodes as I thought, and well well, what do we have here?:

That’s nothing: not only are there a grand total of zero Regal theaters in my entire state (MN), there isn’t even one in any of the neighboring states (WI/IA/ND/SD). I don’t think I’ve even seen one since 2008. Love Dune, but ain’t driving 7+ hrs to Chicago for a fucking movie.

De Gaulle’s clever quip concerning Brazil, “it’s the country of the future, and it always will be” seems equally applicable to India.  

Besides, Delaware doesn’t have any commercial passenger air service and hasn’t since 2015, so this dipshit Congressman couldn’t fly there if he wanted to. Does this mean they’re contracted?

It’s pretty easy, really: I almost always park at the edge of every lot, far from the doors and other cars if at all possible, so I almost never have to concern myself overmuch with pedestrians in my blind spot as they simply don’t wander out that far. So, my main concern is the preservation of my car, and my…

Between this clusterfuck of a Games and the Qatar Modern Slavery Cup next year, it’s definitely looking like a golden age for international sport.

I do think there is a class of humans who deserve to make this much: astronauts who repair satellites in space, like the Hubble and whatnot. They have to be incredibly fit and possess a huge reservoir of technical knowledge, they have tons of extremely expensive and irreplaceable training, and they literally risk…

And right on schedule! Mussolini’s trains have nothing on Google.

On the plus side, they’re probably no more than 6-8 months from shuttering the project and dropping all support for it.  

Agreed entirely. I’m at a point where I consider even Prime substantially superior to Netflix. Even counting third party content, I can’t recall anything new Netflix carried in the past year-plus other than Better Call Saul which I’ve been even modestly excited for. The Expanse by itself is probably an order of…

Wow, this post actually makes me want to go back and try getting into DS again; I only put an hour or so before getting bored and shelving it, but that would hardly be the first bad snap judgment I’ve made on a game.  I think I’ll hop back in tonight and see if I can’t get into a groove with it after all, thanks for…

Yeah, taking cover is an invitation to get focus fired by every enemy in the vicinity, movement is definitely key. Indeed, from what I remember, the game repeatedly told you as much and strongly encouraged you to keep moving during engagements.

I loved my Saturn, and giving it away is one of my great regrets. Panzer Dragoon Saga was excellent, the only JRPG from that era that is on the same level, IMO, is Xenogears. The system did not have a lot of top-notch games, but the ones it had were truly awesome.

Considering plain ol’ copper (and by extension, bronze and brass both) annihilates microbes almost on contact (something even the ancients knew), and that doorknobs of such materials can be had in an endless array of styles and shapes, for a song, anyone buying this shit deserves to be declared non compos mentis by…

Agreed, and I had two different friends who actually had Nakamichi Dragons (though one was a Bose fanatic so he probably got approximately zero benefit out of the Nak, but oh well), so it wasn’t the equipment. The very microsecond MiniDisc was released in ‘92, any advantage/benefit tapes ever had instantly vanished.

Correct, for most people it’s likely flight games. I was a major Quake player and ran a popular 1/2 server for several years while in college (having a student sysadmin job in the university’s core IT dept had some awesome benefits) and always played with the y-axis inverted (as I did in Doom and Marathon and every…

This is an opportunity, it reminds me of when the Soviets quit the UN Security Council in a huff b/c they weren’t able to force the expulsion of the rep from Nationalist China (Taiwan), giving rise to a situation where the Americans were able to use their absence (and the absence of their veto) to ram through the UN de…

I would kill for this, if for no other reason than Google basically has to be forced at bayonet point to provide security updates beyond 18-24 mos. in most instances (maybe you get up to 3 years if you buy an Android One phone, on Day One of its release, of course, and not later in its lifecycle), whereas in MS,…

Black people doing so while using things NOT invented by black people, like written language
