I’ve seen a couple “post your high score” levels that are just as bad in that they want you to post a comment to show your high score and there is no clear way to comment without starring, so it’s a cheap way to get stars and climb the ranks.

For example, in Halo when I spend the entirety of many matches trying to kill someone in one specific way. It is an achievement to finally do it, but I probably would have had more fun just playing, as would my team.

That’s the reason why I’m usually willing to spend a little more upfront. By something that is actually nicer (not just more expensive) and I don’t have to replace it later.

Cars fall under different rules, though, so not quite the same. And in many states, mods are illegal anyway, at least once it leaves your property. In VA, for example, any modifications away from OEM-spec are illegal, though they generally won’t ticket for that and you can still pass inspections.

That’s odd. I was testing out my streaming setup and wanted to compare so I streamed probably an hour and a half of me playing Link to the Past. I had also set it to automatically archive it. Never had any problems during the live streaming and the only notice I got for the archived video was that I couldn’t display…

“If the point of Twitch Plays [Insert Game] is to see if the Internet can work together to, against all odds, beat games in their purest form, Twitch Plays Dark Souls failed, forced to admit to defeat.”

They might have to finally optimize it by then so that the system can actually run it.

Batman being an ass hole is exactly why I like him better. However I agree that there isn’t much going for him in terms of beating Superman. Batman isn’t even really a superhero.

You may have literally just saved my game. I had no idea there are backup saves. Every time I load it loads me stuck in the ground. Thanks!

It isn’t a single city. Fairfax COUNTY. That includes over 1 million residents, spread out over several cities and towns.

I can’t say I’ve ever felt that I am “brave” for living here. All the cops I’ve metmet (by which I mean gave me tickets) have been reasonably nicenice. Granted I am a white male with no criminal record, but still. I think you are exaggerating slightly. You found, what, five cases? Over how many years? Compare that to…

I think the most useful statistics would be not returns but total sales in dollars (as in, have the actual earnings changed) and play time (or number of times played) for all owners of the game. With the first we might see that returns have gone up but sales haven’t, indicating that more people are willing to try a…

In the newspaper strips he was still married, or at least he was the last I saw the comic before they stopped running it.

No, technically it would average out. His problems have mostly been with a factory installed supercharger.

That was one example. I think most people out there tend to agree with the generalizations that American cars aren’t as reliable. I know several VW owners who have had tons of problems, I know several Mazda owners who have had no problems. And I’m amazed to see Honda so low on the list, I think I’ve only ever heard of…

There is absolutely no way that GMC and Chevy should be on there and Mazda isn’t. I’ve had my Mazda 5 years now and not a single problem. My boss has a Scion tC with nearly constant problems. There’s just no way that’s right.

I’m glad you posted this. I was just watching it with my girlfriend and trying to explain to her why it is actually the perfect movie. It’s like a textbook case of everything they teach you in film school. But I have to disagree about the editing, I think this movie has some of the best editing of any movie I’ve ever…

Bought my car brand new in 2010. Put in (myself) new intake, header, exhaust, springs, and struts. The warranty terms aren’t even expired yet. Also getting it tuned, so, needless to say, this move concerns me.

Hopefully I can use the upgrade structure for my old N64 Virtual Console titles. About time.

Well, when you think about it, in Halo 4 they are interrogating Halsey (sp?) about him specifically in a way that suggests they are hunting him down.
