@Hairy Putter: It wasn't luck, CS was entirely skill. While, sure, two people with equal skill levels some luck came in, but between people of differing skill levels, the person who was even incrementally better won nearly every time. There is so much more to that game than meets the eye, nearly all of it

I'm disappointed that there aren't any hardcore gamepad fans in here to come to the rescue and say something asinine... I was really hoping for a PC vs. Console flame war.

@Arthur Hagman: FPS games are made for the keyboard and mouse. Precision has been greatly reduced in games over the last two generations because of it, which is why there are no precision FPS games for consoles (or really anything) anymore.

Don;t worry netflix, you're making cool profits off of me: I pay $9 month and rarely watch streaming or rent movies. I basically have it for the sole reason of if my GF comes over and we've got nothing to do.

@elementary: Don't forget to throw away any couches, chairs, etc., that you have, and replace all with a single pedestal stool in the center of all sound waves*, that only you alone may sit on. Everybody else? Too bad. Have a girlfriend coming over? C'mon man, get your priorities straight, sound trumps woman

Somewhat disagree from the title. I've sold a refurb 360 and a 5-year-old HDTV on Craigslist... both customers were seemingly very happy, they knew what they were getting, the prices were right on both... and I didn't want the hardware anymore.

@ara: Aye. You just have to ensure that you buy a popular phone that is a flagship of a carrier and that the carrier or manufacturer doesn't load up stupid themes and styles on top of it. That HTC UI looks all fancy pants when it gets released, but by golley it takes a long time before getting updated. Happy with

@Sakilla: I was. Whenever I look at Milo all I can think of is JAYson

@Joe Gearhart: In a single sentence you've undone years of work by some designer. Well done!

@Sakilla: Dude. You read me. You read me so well it's creepy.

@Anaerin: I was torn on who to believe... Top Gear, a humorous show that is very enjoyable to watch and rarely holds any punches when going against major car manufacturers... And really has rarely led my astray with issues related to cars or car companies.

Flew Continental from Boston to Las Vegas, with a stopover in Cleveland, just last week. Had exactly 0 issues. It was great... I was surprised it went exactly as planned, actually, landed early almost every flight.

@Kuro: Did you see the TopGear about this? Basically, if you drive the Tesla Roadster like a sports car, it is unuseable beyond a run to the super market.. and if you're running to the super market, why are you driving it like a sports car? Tesla sued/cease-and-desisted TopGear for running the episode because car

"Jump the Shark" is an overused cliche, and I'd like to say that "jump the shark" has "jumped the shark," but I'd be committing the same wrong as all of the other uses of it.

@Brian Ashcraft: @no computers in texas:

The Malta game industry and anti-divorce groups... This is an odd marriage.

I don't care for wrestling much but I've always appreciated good wrestling games. Unfortunately, it's really been years and years since a good wrestling game. There were rarely better times than 4 - 6 player wrestling games back on the PSX, N64, and early PS2... Something has been lost for well over a generation.
