Exactly. My immediate response was “WTF is he even talking about?  Did couchlock cease to exist?”

Amen, my feelings exactly. I went in not expecting much, what with Scott’s recent track record, but found myself actually looking forward to it each week. Unfortunately, with that absurd finale (the flying cyber snake, the hollow planet, jesus fucking christ), it effectively ceased to be plausible as a work of science…

Yeah, but those are Normans, a people who are descended from a dude who was literally called Hrolf the Walker specifically because no horse was great enough to bear him.

Good luck; I just tried ordering a G86 Premium the week before last and the local Toyota dealer told me they couldn’t take orders on them, but that if I was happy fighting with other early adopters for the 20-30% of units Toyota deigned to make in manual, they’d keep an eye out for me. Very encouraging. I called the…

Nothing like a demographic collapse several decades in the making to spur some innovative corporate thinking...

Alternatively, they could listen to the entirety of Will & Ariel Durant’s The Story of Civilization on audiobook; the series took four decades to write and comprises 13,549 pages in total, and anyone who reads or listens to it while actually paying attention will gain a PhD-level understanding of history, but it’s…

I’ve enjoyed plenty of racing games over the years, but overall, the most fun I’ve had with the genre is probably watching weregonnalose play NASCAR games.  

The fix is to disconnect and reconnect the battery at exactly noon or midnight every single day.

Out of curiosity, how much more would it have cost to just rent a cordless grinder instead?

Yeah, um, I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but 1789 and 1917 both strongly suggest this isn’t necessarily the case, and that, at some point, no matter how rich and powerful you are, everyone’s protection is very much finite. If actual castles were easily breached en masse by peasants with polearms and their…

Obviously replying to this late, but I just tried ordering a GR86 at my local Toyota dealer (who I actually like) this past week and they told me to pound sand, that they couldn’t place special orders for them, and then offered me a base model they’ll be getting next month, in a fucking auto. As if. I replied thanks…

Is there a single law enforcement agency in the United States which is more interested in protecting the public than itself?  

Dirt bikes are expressively prohibited to be on public roads.

Have you tried Horehound candy yet?  If not, how do you feel about projectile vomiting?  

Not really, but then again I’m already running four (4) monitors on my main workstation, a matched pair of side-by-side 24" 1080s over side-by-side 27" 2Ks (one a 144Hz GSync and the other a ProArt), courtesy of a cheap quad mount, and this just seems like a less adaptable/useful configuration. I don’t care if my…

I completely agree, with the caveat that THIS site, Kotaku, is completely shot through with Ubisoft fanboys, or paid shills. The number of articles they posted on the tepid Assassin’s Creed Valhalla during its first year after release was simply staggering, it made the number of inane Hellcat-related posts on Jalopnik…

This guy shouldn’t have gotten anything more than traffic tickets and maybe a license suspension, which can be done just for being at fault in a fatal accident, even with no tickets.

To paraphrase ol’ Hanlon, never attribute to disdain that which is adequately explained by towering ignorance.

I don’t get the rabid insistence some people have on this. If the note on my house is 3%, but most any ETF returns close to 11% annually, how exactly is it smart to dump my excess funds in the former rather than the latter?

Is caning still on the table there? If so, the entertainment prospects are certainly more compelling than any game Ubisoft has produced in an age...
